DISCUSSION:
During fiscal year 2004,federal funds were appropriated to fund overtime for police officers for detection,investigation and prosecution of crimes
against the United States.The Federal Bureau of Investigation(FBI)Counterterrorism Division formalized this Task Force with member agencies
eligible to receive overtime reimbursement for their participation on the Task Force.Since 2006,the Fort Worth Police Department(a member
agency)has dedicated one(1)police officer full-time to this effort as part of the Homeland Security Program(Mayor and Council Communications
(M&C)C-21420,C-24932,and C-28509).
This M&C is to accept funding for the next five(5)years for overtime payments made to the officer assigned full-time to the task force in the amount
of$115,000.00($23,000.00 per year for five years).Yearly reimbursement amounts are based on the annual Notice of Limits received from the
FBI.The FBI reserves the right to change the reimbursement limits, upward or downward,for subsequent periods based on fiscal priorities and
appropriations limits.The Cost Reimbursement Agreement(City Secretary Contract No.31470)outlines reimbursement information.
The agreement remains in effect for the duration of the agency's participation in the task force and may be terminated at any time upon mutual
consent of the parties with at least a 30 days notice to terminate.This is a reimbursement agreement and indirect costs are not allowed.
This Task Force serves ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
A Form 1295 is not required because:This contract will be with a govemmental entity,state agency or public institution of higher education:
Federal Bureau of Investigation

will be available in the current operating budget,as appropriated,in the Grants Operating Other Fund.The Police Department(and Financial
