TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ':' Costa
FROM: Warren E. Rupf, Sheriff-Coroner County
DATE: April 23, 2001
SUBJECT: Memorandum of Understandinq with San Mateo County Sheriff
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Sheriff or his designee to enter into a Memorandum of
Understanding with the San Mateo County Sheriff to participate in the High Intensity Drug
Trafficking Area (HIDTA) program in 2001 and to ACCEPT funding of up to $102,000
approved by the Office of National Drug Control Policy for this regional effort.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
NONE. This is an on-going program and the costs and reimbursement are included in the
Sheriffs Office budget.
III. BACKGROUND/REASON(S) FOR RECOMMENDATION(S):
The Office of the Sheriff has been participating in HIDTA's regional efforts to curb drug
trafficking in the Bay Area for a number of years. Federal funding toward this effort is
available, and the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office serves as the administrative and fiscal
agent for that funding. The Memorandum of Agreement establishes the annual objectives of
the East Bay Heroin & Methamphetamine Task Force and confirms the budget previously
approved by the Office of National Drug Control Policy.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Much of the drug trafficking within Contra Costa also involves distribution of drugs in adjacent
law enforcement jurisdictions. The efforts of the Sheriffs Office to control drug distribution
would be reduced if it did not take advantage of the opportunities to reduce drug trafficking
offered through HIDTA.
