Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The Office of National Drug Control Policy awarded the City a grant for the Larimer County
Drug Task Force in the amount of$45,000. The funding cycle for this grant is January 1, 2005
through December 31, 2005. There is no financial impact to the City of Fort Collins as no
matching funds are required.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Larimer County Drug Task Force ("Task Force") includes Fort Collins Police Services,
Loveland Police Department, Larimer County Sheriffs Department, Drug Enforcement
Administration, and the Colorado State University Police Department.
Fort Collins Police Services applied to the Office of National Drug Control Policy on behalf of
the Task Force for federal grant monies to help fund the investigation of illegal narcotics
activities in Larimer County. The City has recently received notification of the grant award in
the amount of $45,000. These funds will be used to help offset the overtime costs of each
participating agency.
This appropriation is not a request to identify new dollars for the Fort Collins Police Services
2005 budget. This action appropriates the $45,000 in new federal grant money. As the
administrator of this grant, Fort Collins Police Services will assure participating agencies receive
their share of the funds.
