Agenda Title:

23-055 - 1R.  An ordinance authorizing acceptance of the 2023 Midwest High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the Investigative Support Center Initiative, and related documents, with the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, for a grant award in the amount of $154,459.00; making the necessary appropriations; authorizing future change orders for additional funding and/or time extensions; and authorizing certain future appropriations.
Recommendations:

The Police Department recommends approval and acceptance of this MOU and grant funding.
Background:

The Police Department first received funding to participate in the Midwest High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) Investigative Support Center (ISC) with full funding for a Crime Analyst position in April 2012.  The ISC provides event and target deconfliction services, multi-source name checks, investigative/tactical case support, toll analysis, charting, graphic work, post-seizure analysis and trend/predictive analysis.  In 2019, the department received additional funding to fully fund a second Crime Analyst.  Since that time, both Analysts continue to be housed at the HIDTA Investigative Support Center.  The department is reimbursed 100% of the Analysts' salary, benefits and training.  The 2023 contract will continue the department's involvement with the Midwest HIDTA ISC and provide reimbursement up to $154,459.00.  


Fiscal Impact:

The fiscal impact to the City is $154,459 to be received as grant revenue.  Actual expenses for the two Analysts will be reimbursed to the City.  The revenue will need to be deposited in the 015 Grant Fund, subledger ISC, and appropriated as follows:

 

4550-5100 Salaries $  92,939

4550-5109 Benefits $  59,520

4550-5203 Training $    2,000

  Total Amount: $154,459

 

There is no local match or supplemental funding necessary.
