ARKANSAS
MEETING OF MARCH 17, 2015
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Greg Tabor, Chief of Police
DATE: February 20, 2015
SUBJECT: Approval of a Budget Adjustment for federal funding from the Gulf Coast
High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the budget adjustment to recognize federal funding from
the Gulf Coast High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) in the amount of $116,644. If you
should have any comments or question regarding this federal funding, please contact me at
extension 500.
BACKGROUND:
The Gulf Coast HIDTA provides federal funding from the Office of National Drug Control
Policy to multi -jurisdictional drug enforcement initiatives throughout Arkansas, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee. The Fayetteville Police Department has partnered with
Washington County Sheriff's Office, Springdale Police Department, Prairie Grove Police
Department, and the local Drug Enforcement Administration office to create the Western
Arkansas Mobile Deployment Team (WAMDT) initiative with Washington County being the
fiduciary agency.
DISCUSSION:
WAMDT's mission is to infiltrate and disrupt drug trafficking organizations (DTOs) at the
street level. The Gulf Coast HIDTA funds overtime for investigator activity, covert buy money for
the purchase of evidence/purchase of information (PEPI), and vehicle allowances. The Gulf
Coast HIDTA has approved 2015 funding for the Fayetteville Police Department in the amount
of $116,644. This amount represents overtime funding for four (4) investigators at $17,461
each including benefits, PEPI in the amount $30,000, and two vehicle allowances at $8,400
each annually. This funding has a two year life span and must be spent by December 31, 2016.
WAMDT is currently preparing their 2016 funding request to the Gulf Coast HIDTA, however,
future allocations are contingent upon congressional approval.
BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT:
Increase in budgeted revenue equal to the increase in budgeted expense for this non-
matching federal funding to reimburse existing DTF Investigators overtime, covert funds, and
vehicle allowances. This budget adjustment has no impact on staffing levels.
