RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading. FINANCIAL IMPACT The City has received a grant for the Latimer County Drug Task Force from the Office of Drug Control and System Improvement (Byrne Grant) in the amount of $250,000. The funding cycle for this grant is July 1, 2004 through June 30, 2005. The requested local match of $121,851 is already appropriated and available in the Police Services Budget. The City of Fort Collins has also received a $5,000 grant from Colorado State University for its share of training costs at the Latimer County Drug Task Force. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Larimer County Drug Task Force ("Task Force") includes Fort Collins Police Services, Loveland Police Department, Latimer County Sheriff's Department, Drug Enforcement Administration, and the Colorado State University Police Department. Fort Collins Police Services applied to the Office of Drug Control and System Improvement (Byrne Grant) on behalf of the Task Force for federal grant monies to help fund the investigation of illegal narcotics activities in Latimer County. The City has recently received notification of the grant award in the amount of $250,000, plus an additional $5,000 from Colorado State University. The participating agencies must provide matching funds in the amount of$420,676. Fort Collins' portion of the match is $121,851. These funds will be used to match personnel costs related to the assigned Colorado State University Detective, rental and operational costs at the Task Force off-site location, overtime funding to help offset the overtime costs of each participating agency, and confidential funds to be used for the purchase of narcotics from drug dealers by undercover police officers. This appropriation is not a request to identify new dollars for the Fort Collins Police Services 2004 budget. This action appropriates the $250,000 in new federal grant money and $5,000 to be received from Colorado State University. As the administrator of this grant, Fort Collins Police Services will assure participating agencies receive their share of the funds.
