RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt an ordinance increasing estimated receipts and
appropriations in the amount of $33 300 00 in the State Awarded Assets Fund to purchase wireless
transmitters for the Police Department.
DISCUSSION
State grant funding for the Metro Narcotics Intelligence and Coordination Unit (MNICU) has been
reallocated from Tarrant County to the member agencies for 2006 As part of this reorganization all of the
MNICU assets including proceeds from previous seizures were disseminated to the member agencies with
the intent that they be used for respective narcotics units. The City of Fort Worth received $155 452.00 as
part of this distribution
A portion of these funds is included in the FY2006 State Awarded Assets budget to be used for informant
funds. Staff recommends that a portion of the remaining funds be used to purchase equipment including
wireless transmitters to maintain communication with officers in undercover operations. This will greatly
improve officer safety
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION
The Finance Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendation and adoption of the
attached supplemental appropriation ordinance funds will be available in the FY2005-06 operating budget,
as appropriated of the State Awarded Assets Fund
