9. ACCEPT FUNDING FROM US DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION FOR THE DESERT HAWK VIOLENT CRIME TASK FORCE Approve the Notice of Limits for FY20 State and Local Overtime Reimbursements and acceptance of up to $149,192 in reimbursement funding from the US Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation for officers assigned to FBI managed task forces. The FBI Desert Hawk Violent Crime Task Force agreement commenced October 1, 2017 and will continue for an indefinite period until terminated by one or both parties. Acceptance of this agreement was approved by the Board of Supervisors on December 13, 2017 under C-18-038-G-00. The FY20 reimbursement funding began retroactively October 1, 2019 and will terminate September 30, 2020. The Sheriff’s Office indirect cost rate for FY20 is 16.3%. Unrecoverable indirect costs have been calculated as up to $24,318.30. The unrecoverable indirect cost of up to $24,318.30 will be covered by the department General Fund. This agreement is recurring, non-competitive and does not require a match. The agreement does not require on-going cash contributions after the period end date. This is not a mandated function although it supports the MCSO public safety mandate 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. These revenues are not local revenues for the purpose of the constitutional expenditure limitation, and therefore, expenditures of these revenues are not prohibited by the budget law.
