FINANCIAL IMPACT
The City has received two grants for the Drug Task Force from the Office of National Drug Control

grant was not appropriated last year. The second is for January 1 to December 31, 2008 in the
amount of $101,250. There is no financial impact to the City of Fort Collins as there are no
matching funds required.

Fort Collins Police Services applied to the Office of National Drug Control Policy on behalf of the
Latimer County Drug Task Force for federal grant monies to help fund the investigation of illegal
narcotics activities in Larimer County. The Larimer County Drug Task Force currently includes
Fort Collins Police Services, Loveland Police Department, Larimer County Sheriffs Department,
Estes Park Police Department and the Colorado State University Police Department. This grant
award will be used to offset overtime costs of each participating agency. As the grant administrator,
Police Services will assure funding to other participating agencies for their share of the federal
funds. The City has received notification of the grant awards in the amount of$70,200 for 2007 and
$101,250 for 2008. This Ordinance appropriates the $70,200 and $101,250 in new federal grant
money.
