LOG NAME: 35HIDTA 2 AMENDMENT
SUBJECT:
Authorize Acceptance of and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance in the Amount of$17,202.25 for the
Reimbursement of Overtime Expenses for the Police Department's Participation on the North Texas High
Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Task Force Group 2 (ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
i
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the Police Department to accept an additional amount up to $17,202.25 for the
reimbursement of overtime expenses for officers assigned to the North Texas High Intensity Drug i
Trafficking Area Task Force Group 2; and
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in Grants
Fund in the amount of$17,202.25.
DISCUSSION:
On September 25, 2012, (M&C C-25867) the City Council authorized the execution of an Agreement with
the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) for participation in the North Texas High
Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (NTHIDTA) Task Force Group 2 for Fiscal Year 2013 and adopted an
appropriation ordinance in the amount of$86,011.25. The mission of the NTHIDTA Task Force Group 2 is
to reduce the volume of narcotics and controlled substances being trafficked into and distributed from the
NTHIDTA area of responsibility through aggressive detection, interdiction, enforcement and prosecution of i
individuals and enterprises engaged in drug trafficking activities.
The Agreement was amended in February 2013 to add one additional officer to the Task Force. Initially, it
was believed that the additional officer would be paid from current appropriations. However, it was later
determined that additional appropriations were necessary to capture the reimbursement of overtime
expenses from the DEA. This Mayor and Council Communication is necessary to appropriate an
additional amount of$17,202.25 to cover the additional reimbursements received from the DEA for
overtime worked by the Fort Worth Police Department's officer on the NTHIDTA Task Force Group 2.
FISCAL INFORMATION /CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations,
and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current operating
budget, as appropriated, of the Grants Fund. t
