DISCUSSION: j
In 2003, the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) began providing Incident
Management Training for all responders in the region. The goal of the NCTCOG Freeway Incident
Management Training Program is to initiate a common, coordinated response to traffic incidents. The
program objectives include building partnerships, enhancing safety for emergency personnel, reducing
upstream traffic accidents, improving the efficiency of the transportation system and improving air quality
in the Dallas-Fort Worth region.
F
In support of the Incident Management Training Program, NCTCOG is conducting the 2014 Incident
Management Equipment Purchase Program. The goal of the program is to assist agencies in purchasing
equipment and technology that will advance program objectives. The Fort Worth Police Department is
seeking to purchase equipment and technology that will aid in quick incident clearance and mitigate
crashes. If funding is awarded, NCTCOG will provide reimbursements to the City for the City's purchase
of the equipment and technology. The reimbursements are done in two phases: the first phase ends on
September 30, 2015 and the second phase ends on September 30, 2016.
Agencies receiving funds through the program are not required to provide a local match.

NCTCOG uses a competitive selection process to determine which agencies will receive funding. While
not required to qualify for funding under this program, adoption of a resolution which states that the City
supports the objectives of the program will likely increase the City's application score.
Chapter 791 of the Texas Government Code provides authority for local governments to enter into I
Interlocal Agreements. i
Under this grant, the Police Department is able to fund unmet needs for traffic control and scene
management. This needs include traffic cones, safety vests, message boards, mapping software and a
vehicle. Each of these items have various expected useful-life. The police department's priorities are i
based on ever changing crime trends and technology. When the items need to be replaced based on F
useful-life and/or warranties, the police department will evaluate all funding options available and
permissible.
FISCAL INFORMATION /CERTIFICATION:
i
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations,
receipt of the grant and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the F
current operating budget, as appropriated, of the Grants Fund.
