Council approved Public Hearing and Introductory Ordinance on February 20, 2024.
BACKGROUND
The City of Laredo has been the Grantee agency for the past thirty-two years for the South Texas High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (STX HIDTA) the Laredo Police-HSI'HIDTA Task Force and The RGV HIDTA Task Force. The Task Force works together with other Local, State and Federal Agencies, with its main focus being the identification and disruption/dismantling of Major Drug Trafficking Organizations.
Funds under the original grant pay for personnel salaries, overtime, fringe benefits, travel and operating expenses. The grant is 100% federally funded by the Office of the National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA).
The de-obligation of funds is based on a STX HIDTA Executive committee decision due to a pre-approved salary for FTEs and not being utilized, this is a one-time de-obligation request therefore this action will not affect the baseline budget in the future year.
