With these excess funds, we were able to obtain funding for a new local HIDTA initiative called the Western Arkansas Mobile Deployment Team (WAMDT) which is made up of our 4th Judicial District Drug Task Force officers and a Drug Enforcement Administration agent. WAMDT received $11,575 in purchase evidence/purchase information (PEPI) for the first quarter of 2010 and $20,000 for the remainder of 2010; however, we spent and were reimbursed $11,695 in PEPI funds during the first quarter. This slight increase results in a total PEPI budget for fiscal year 2010 to be $31,695. Acceptance of this funding and approval of the attached budget adjustment is necessary to continue undercover drug purchases by our drug task force officers. Performing undercover drug purchases is the first step in infiltrating a drug trafficking organization (DTO). This funding will allow our 4th Judicial District Drug Task Force (4th DTF) to develop confidential informants. These informants will be used jointly by the 4th DTF, the Northwest Arkansas HIDTA Task Force, and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to identify and dismantle previously unknown DTO's in our area. WAMDT also received funding in the amount of $30,000 for overtime reimbursement to be split among the participating agencies of the 4th DTF. Since overtime is a part of our existing budget, we will not be requesting a budget adjustment for increased overtime expenses at this time. Furthermore, WAMDT will receive another $50,000 in overtime and PEPI funding for our 2011 budget year. This funding will be incorporated into the 2011 budget later this year. RECOMMENDATION: The City Council accepts non-matching funds from the Gulf Coast HIDTA grant in the amount of $31,695.00 and approval of a budget adjustment to increase federal grant revenue and covert expenses. BUDGET IMPACT: Net zero effect on our budget due to non-matching grant revenue equal to covert expenses. RESOLUTION NO. A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE FAYETTEVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT TO ACCEPT ADDITIONAL FUNDING THROUGH THE 2010 GULF COAST HIGH INTENSITY DRUG TRAFFICKING AREA (HIDTA) GRANT IN THE AMOUNT OF $31,695.00 TO INVESTIGATE COVERT DRUG TRANSACTIONS AND APPROVING A BUDGET ADJUSTMENT BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS: Section 1.

PASSED and APPROVED this 1st day of June, 2010. APPROVED: ATTEST: By: By: LIONELD JORDAN, Mayor SONDRA E.

We need to move $8,000 from the Benton Co. SO overtime to Fayetteville PD Other (PEPI) and $3575 from Fayetteville PD Overtime to Other (PEPI). This reprogramming will put funds in the correct category to process the current reimbursement package to include $11,575 in PEPI. z In order to move these funds I have to obtain the concurrence of the affected agencies. If you will please reply to this email with your approval that should satisfy the requirment. Effective today, April 1, the PEPI spent by the Western Arkansas Mobile Deployment Team will be charged against the WAMDT initiative. If you have any questions please contact me at 601-933-9438 or email at this address.

"Kim Vasquez" <VasqueK@gchidta.org> 3/9/2010 10:23 AM Western Arkansas Mobile Deployment Team Reprogramming 2010 AR REPROGRAM.xls On March 4, 2010, the Gulf Coast HIDTA Executive Board met in Montgomery, AL and approved a proposal to provide supplemental funding to establish a new Gulf Coast HIDTA initiative, the Western Arkansas Mobile Deployment Team. Funding for this initiative is made available through the reprogramming of 2008 and 2009 HIDTA grant funds identified as excess to the 2010 spending plan and will be lost if not reprogrammed to this new initiative. With these excess funds the WAMDT can be funded for 2010 and 2011 at $50,000 per year. New procedures established by the Gulf Coast HIDTA require that I receive the concurrence of all affected agencies before this reprogramming can take effect. Your agency is affected by this reprogramming and if you will please reply to this email with your approval we can maintain documentation of this transaction. The following is a detailed explanation of the reprogramming necessary to make this happen. Also attached is a spreadsheet summarizing the movement of funds which clearly indicate that sufficient funds are available to accomplish this with additional excess funds remaining. In order to establish the Western Arkansas Mobile Deployment Team Initiative in 2010: Reprogram from the Arkansas 2008 budgets: $14,300 from ASP LRMIT Overtime $6,000 from AHP LRMIT Overtime $8,400 from LRMIT PCSO Services $6,000 from PBPD Overtime $7,000 from JCSO Overtime $2,000 from NWAMIT WCSO OT $2,300 from NWAMIT WCSO Services $2,000 from NWAMIT FPD Overtime $2,000 from NWAMIT SPD Overtime $50,000 TO: Western Arkansas Mobile Deployment Team WAMDT: $14,000 to Fayetteville PD Overtime $20,000 to Fayetteville PD Other (PEPI) �- $8,000 to Springdale PD Overtime $4,000 to Prairie Grove PD Overtime $4,000 to Washington Co.
