Kfiy ADOPTED AND EFFECTIVE: September 23, 2014 City of Fort Worth, Texas Mayor and Council Communication COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 9123/2014 - Ordinance No. 21471-09-2014 DATE: Tuesday, September 23, 2014 REFERENCE NO.: **C-26999 LOG NAME: 35HIDTA RISC SUBJECT: Adopt Appropriation Ordinance in the Amount Up to $51,778.75 for the Fort Worth Police Department's Participation in the North Texas High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Regional Intelligence Support Center (ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS) RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Grants Fund in the amount up to $51,778.75 for the Fort Worth Police Department's participation in the North Texas High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Regional Intelligence Support Center. DISCUSSION: The City of Fort Worth has been an active participant in the United States Department of Justice, Drug Enforcement Administration's (DEA) High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area task forces since 1999. The mission of the organization is to reduce the volume of narcotics and controlled substances being trafficked into and distributed from the North Texas High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Regional Intelligence Support Center (NTHIDTA-RISC). The NTHIDTA-RISC seeks to dismantle high-level drug trafficking organizations through intelligence and comprehensive case support of investigations and NTHIDTA-RISC initiatives, identifying the movement of drugs into and out of North Texas. Subject to the availability of funds, the DEA reimburses the City of Fort Worth for the overtime costs of Fort Worth Police Department's participation in the NTHIDTA-RISC. The Fort Worth Police Department had one officer assigned to the NTHIDTA-RISC in Fiscal Years 2013 and 2014 and will assign one officer to NTHIDTA-RISC in Fiscal Year 2015. Initially, these funds were deposited and expended in accounts created for the HIDTA Group 2 Task Force. This Mayor and Council Communication is necessary to adopt an appropriation ordinance to establish separate accounts for the reimbursement of overtime and other expenses such as mileage, supplies, travel and training related to the Department's participation in the NTHIDTA-RISC for Fiscal Years 2013-2015. FISCAL INFORMATION /CERTIFICATION: The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance funds will be available in the current operating budget, as appropriated, of the Grants Fund. The Police Department is responsible for requesting reimbursements and for the collection of revenues under this Agreement.

This is done so that we will not have to go back to Council to appropriate additional funds if we identify additional expenses that need to be transferred into the HIDTA RISC FAC.
