FROM: David H. Ready, City Manager
BY: Police Department
SUMMARY
On June 18, 2003, the City Council approved Minute Order#7324 which authorized the
Police Department to participate in the Palm Springs Narcotics Task Force (PSNTF).
Staff is requesting Council again approve participation in PSNTF.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Renew an agreement with the Drug Enforcement Administration through
September 30, 2020; and
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary documents.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The Police Department has been a member of the Palm Springs Narcotics Task Force
(PSNTF) since its inception. The Task Force is housed at the Police Department and is
under the supervision of a Drug Enforcement Administration Supervisor, concentrating
on major drug traffickers in the area. The unit has arrested several major drug dealers
resulting in significant terms in federal prison and has recovered a large amount of
property and currency that was awarded to the Task Force by a judge. •
The Police Department supplies one officer to the Task Force and is responsible for
supplying the officer with a vehicle and all necessary equipment.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no additional cost to the General Fund, as this position is part of the authorized
personnel for the Police Department. The Drug Enforcement Administration will

Agreement with Drug Enforcement Administration
reimburse the Palm Springs Police Department for overtime costs incurred by the
assigned officer, up to $18,649. By participating in the Task Force, the City has the
ability to share in the proceeds from forfeited assets. These seizures fund the day-to-
day operations of the Task Force, and excess assets may be distributed to member
agencies. The Police Department uses seized funds to purchase equipment not
budgeted for in the General Fund.
