SUMMARY
As a participating agency of the San Diego Fugitive Task Force, the United States
Marshals Service (USMS) has allocated $7,000 to the Police Department for approved
equipment services, training or supplies directly related to the task force.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This proposed activity has been reviewed for compliance with the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and it has been determined that the activity is not a
"Project" as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because it will
not result in a physical change in the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section
15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no
environmental review is necessary.

Council adopt the resolution.

DISCUSSION-----:--~..
Since 2003, the Police Department has assigned one detective to the San Diego Regional
Fugitive Task Force, which is coordinated by the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS). The
Asset Forfeiture-Fund 'of the U.S. Department of-Justice reimburses state and local
agencies for costs relating to USMS sponsored fugitive task forces. The primary mission
of the task force is to investigate and arrest, as part of joint law enforcement operations,
persons who have active state and federal warrants for their arrest. The intent of the joint
effort is to investigate and apprehend local, state and federal fugitives, thereby improving
public safety and reducing violent crime.
The Police Department has been allocated $7,000 of funding to be used for approved
equipment, services, training and supplies directly related to the support of the San Diego
Fugitive Task Force. Expenditures will be pre-approved by the Task Force Coordinator.
This funding is separate and apart from any previously agreed funding for overtime,
vehicles, fuel or vehicle expenses.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is
not site specific and consequently the 500 foot rule found in California Code of
Regulations section 18704.2(a)(l) is not applicable to this decision.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMP ACT
Approval of this resolution will result in the one-time appropriation of $7,000 to the
supplies and services budget of the Police Department. The funding from the United
States Marshals Service will completely offset these costs, resulting in no net fiscal
impact to the General Fund.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
There is no ongoing fiscal impact for accepting these funds.
ATTACHMENTS
None.
