14. MOU WITH THE FBI FOR THE PHOENIX SAFE STREETS TASK FORCE AND COST REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT FOR FBI VIOLENT STREET GANG TASK FORCE Approve the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Maricopa County Attorney's Office for the Phoenix Safe Streets Task Force. The purpose of this MOU is to delineate the responsibilities of the Phoenix Safe Streets Task Force (SSTF) personnel; formalize relationships between participating agencies for policy guidance, planning, training, and public and media relations; and maximize inter-agency cooperation. The mission of the SSTF is to identify and target for prosecution criminal enterprise groups responsible for drug trafficking, money laundering, alien smuggling, crimes of violence such as murder and aggravated assault, robbery, and violent street gangs, as well as to intensely focus on the apprehension of dangerous fugitives where there is or may be a federal investigative interest. The SSTF will enhance the effectiveness of federal/state/local law enforcement resources through a well-coordinated initiative seeking the most effective investigative/prosecutive avenues by which to convict and incarcerate dangerous offenders. The MOU shall be in effect upon the date it is signed by the Board of Supervisors and the Special Agent in Charge for the FBI and will remain in effect for the duration of the SSTF's operations, contingent upon approval of necessary funding, but may be terminated at any time upon written mutual consent of the agency involved. Written notification must be provided to the SSTF Supervisor with designated oversight for investigative and personnel matters or the program manager of the SSTF at least 30 days prior to withdrawal. This agreement may be modified at any time by written consent of all involved agencies. Also, approve the Cost Reimbursement Agreement for the Violent Street Gang Task Force associated with the Phoenix Safe Streets Task Force. Reimbursement for overtime hours worked, per officer, shall not exceed monthly and/or annual limits established annually by the FBI. The limits, calculated using Federal pay tables, will be in effect for the Federal fiscal year running from October 1st of one year through September 30th of the following year, unless changed during the period. The FBI reserves the right to change the reimbursement limits, upward or downward, for subsequent periods based on fiscal priorities and appropriations limits. The FBI will notify MCAO of the applicable annual limits prior to October 1st of each year. (C-19-24-009-X-00)
