RECOMMENDATION 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$55,320. The funding cycle for this grant is January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006. 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 Sheriff's 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 $55,320. 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 2006 budget. This action appropriates the $55,320 in new federal grant money. As the administrator of this grant, Fort Collins Police Services will ensure participating agencies receive their share of the funds.
