Community Coordination Weld County may have the highest number of municipal law enforcement agencies and school district of any county in Colorado. There are 20 law enforcement agencies, including the Weld Co. S. 0. and the District Attorney's Office, and 13 school districts including the St. Vrain School District in Boulder County that have facilities in Weld County. The 4, 004 square miles in Weld County exacerbates this tremendous political and bureaucratic diversity making the need for community coordination vital to provide an effective anti-drug effort. The Weld County Sheriff obtained a previous Communities for a Drug Free Colorado grant which was used to enhance the drug apprehension efforts by purchasing a drug detection canine. The effectiveness of this canine has been demonstrated to many northern Colorado agencies requesting support resulting in many agencies purchasing a similar canine for their use. The canine has greatly enhanced the amount of drugs that have been removed from the street over the last few years. The drug detection canine is a very effective means of teaching the anti-drug program to students in the many schools of Weld County. The canine has been requested to do walk-through searches of lockers in the open hallways of many of the schools in Weld County. This canine and Deputy Toft, the dogs handler, have alone contacted almost 2000 people/students to demonstrate the canine's keen since of smell for finding drugs, as well as to speak at school and public assemblies about the anti-drug efforts of the program. Canine "Astor" was also chosen to be the "Just Say No" mascot for the program which has greatly benefitted from the canine visibility because elementary age students are interested in animals and fascinated with how animals can be trained to help in the anti-drug effort. Another officer from our agency has done anti-drug talks to over 2450 people/students through nine other programs within Weld County. Many of the law enforcement agencies have worked together to share the resources to provide early education regarding drug abuse including programs such as "Adopt a Cop", Dare, and "Just Say No" which are all designed to provide benefits of integrating the police into the educational component of the Weld County community and to provide an opportunity for children to interact with the police in a non-enforcement capacity. The Weld County Sheriff' s Office has also taken part in the marijuana eradication program over the past few years. In 1989, we removed over 2,301 marijuana plants through the program and another 777 plants through the program in 1990. During these program periods, we also did flights for Sedgwick, Morgan, and Larimer Counties. The present Task Force has received much support from various groups and people from outside the law enforcement element. Although we have not been able to list each group that has offered to support the Weld County Drug Task Force, we were able to solicit letters from such groups as Loyal Order of Moose Lodge No. 909 in Evans, Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 6624, The Rotary Club of Ft. Lupton, The Fort Lupton Optimist's Breakfast Club, the Aims Community College- South Campus, Weld-Just Say No Club, the UNC Drug Prevention/Education Program, and the University of Northern Colorado. We have also offered our services to speak to groups and encourage input from the United Way Foundation of Greeley and the Weld County Safety Network which deals with drug-abuse issues. (see attached letters) CI We presently have 100 percent support from every law enforcement agency within 6-4 Weld County, plus enhanced support of other drug units that we have had the Jj opportunity to work with from out-side of Weld County to assist in the continued program of the Weld County Drug Task Force. The efforts so far have proven to ')! be beneficial in all communities with our first four months of full operation. With the continued support of Communities for a Drug Free Colorado towards funding of the Task Force, we will prove to be a major player in cleaning up our little corner of the community. b. Project Summary The Task Force, through combined efforts of the participating agencies, acquired information by efficient intelligence operations identifying drug dealers and habitual users; and documented their criminal histories and current activities . The cooperative program is effective. Targeted drug offenders are arrested and charged. Criminal prosecution is not enough. Incarceration, a cost of doing drug business, is an acceptable cost to drug dealers if they get to keep profits from the drug business. The only approach effective against drug offenders criminally prosecutes drug offenders and civilly seizes the assets used to commit crime and its profits. As the Task Force gains effect, drug offenders move from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Information must be available and shared with other law enforcement agencies. The Task Force will identify drug dealers and users ; document their activity; prosecute criminal charges against them; seize property used to commit crimes and the profits therefrom; and desiminate the information in a meaningful form to other law enforcement agencies and the community. The Task Force will continue to investigate, prosecute offenders and seize property. The Task Force will "fine tune" its operations . It will adapt to the criminal element by: educating field officers ; sharing intelligence with law enforcement agencies; and cooperating with law enforcement agencies in all ways possible. The Task Force will cooperate with agencies outside of those participating in the program, including federal and state departments of revenue. Such agencies provide expertise and intelligence not generally available to local law enforcement agencies. In return, the Task Force, on behalf of those agencies and with their approval and authority, will collect back taxes, penalties and interest on illegally possessed controlled substances and marihuana. The Task Force effort is complemented by an aggressive criminal prosecution and civil seizure/forfeiture program. The criminal defendant, already charged with a crime, will be served with a civil action seeking forfeiture of property used to commit crime and its profits when he/she appears at arraignment. The civil action is a two-pronged attack containing the Public Nuisance count (Section 16-13-301 et seq, C. R. S . ) and a Colorado Organized Crime Control Act (COCCA) (Section 18-17-101 et seq, C. R. S . ) count. A temporary restraining order will "freeze" the defendant property. Predicate acts violating the controlled substances laws and marihuana laws, and failure to pay taxes, penalties and interest thereon in violation of revenue laws make the defendant property 910413 vulnerable to forfeiture, and, inter alia, treble damages under COCOA. The civil action will provide property forfeiture; collect additional property through back taxes, penalties and interest; and establish a judgment against the defendant to collect property satisfying the treble damage award, costs and expenses. The civil action and the discovery served upon the defendant at arraignment (discovery will be served with the Complaint) are structured to force the defendant to choose between keeping his property or incriminating himself -- case law provides civil discovery sanctions against defendants who refuse to comply with civil discovery requests on federal fifth amendment grounds. This approach will encourage guilty pleas as defendants want to protect their property or see that conviction is inevitable. The civil action and the criminal case must and will be negotiated separately. In the end, assuming the police have assembled a good case, the defendant will be convicted of crime and lose the property seized. Each Task Force Control Group member is a Chief Executive of his respective law enforcement agency and each has extensive experience in undercover drug operations. The Project Director is trained, well-educated and experienced in undercover operations. The Task Force officers have worked undercover for several years and have proven their effectiveness. The Deputy District Attorney assigned to the Task Force is experienced, is aggressive, and has demonstrated his ability by designing the criminal/civil litigation approach for District Court litigation. The Task Force maintains strict accounting records consistent with federal and state reporting requirements. Time, and expenses are fully documented for all cases. This data is evaluated for Task Force effectiveness and efficiency. The effort's effectiveness will be evaluated by the number of drug-related arrests and assets seized. The effort's efficiency will be measured by the return on investment, or the value of the property, controlled substances and marihuana seized compared to the value of the resources consumed. These statistics will be compared with state and federal statistics to ascertain Task Force performance. The Task Force is poised to realize the fruits of its first year's labors. Experienced management, competent undercover operations and aggressive criminal and civil litigation combine to realize the goals of the program. Weld County will have a self-sufficient drug enforcement program that will neutralize drug dealers, reduce demand for illegal drugs, reduce the quantity of drugs on the market, seize property and profits of crime, and cooperate with other agencies by intelligence-sharing and the community by information-sharing. 91. .x`-1A 3 A. -v.

S. Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Justice Assistance The University of Northern Colorado is in support of the continuation of the Weld County Drug Task Force. We believe to effectively address the drug problem affecting this nation, a two prong attack is necessary. The first is an aggressive education program to reduce the demand for drugs . The second is an aggressive enforcement program to reduce the supply of drugs. At UNC our education efforts are coordinated by our Drug Education/ Prevention Office and Drug/Alcohol Task Force. We support such programs as CARES, DARE, SADD, BACCHUS AND GAMMA as well as programming in our residence halls and classes. We have a strong vested interest in education. We also strongly support the enforcement efforts of our campus police department and the other local law enforcement agencies. The formation of the Weld County Drug Task Force has provided drug enforcement activity to many jurisdictions in Weld County that would not have been able to accomplish this because of limited resources. It also provides the ideal vehicle for the coordination of information and efforts . We feel it is extremely important to cut off the supply of drugs from major drug dealers to our students and our community. I ask for favorable consideration of the Weld County Drug Task Force grant so they can continue their vital mission. 2 , It `------- /1 obert C.

We believe the aggressive enforcement of the drug laws is necessary to reduce the supply of drugs to our children and communities. In addition, the Task Force method provides coordinated effort to communities that do not have the resources alone to combat this problem. We feel the removal of drugs and drug dealers from our communities is essential . We ask for favorable consideration of the Weld County Drug Task Force grant renewal so they can continue their vital mission.

We believe to effectively address the drug problem affecting this nation, a two prong attack is necessary. The first is an aggressive education program to reduce the demand for drugs. The second is an aggressive enforcement program to reduce the supply of drugs . We have a strong vested interest in drug education in our classes and other programs. We provide a number of classes and seminars to students and general public. We also strongly support the enforcement efforts of the Fort Lupton Police Department and the other local law enforcement agencies. The formation of the Weld County Drug Task Force has provided drug enforcement activity to many jurisdictions in Weld County that would not have been able to accomplish this because of limited resources. It also provides the ideal vehicle for the coordination of information and efforts. We feel it is extremely important to cut off the supply of drugs from major drug dealers to our community. I would ask for favorable consideration of the Weld County Drug Task Force grant so they can continue their vital mission. Si ely, ettna- Do d R.

PERSONNEL: The Weld County Drug Task Force is to be staffed with three line investigators , a supervisor, and a deputy district attorney. One investigator will be funded full time to work for the task force by the Weld County Sheriff ' s Office and two investigators will be funded through the CDFC grant. This is an increase of one position over the first year grant . The new position will again be paid as a first year certified deputy at the cost of $24 , 348 plus benefits . This additional investigator is a needed position to the task force to assist in the evaluation of incoming intelligence reports , follow-up investigation of current and future drug investigation cases and an addition officer to promote the safe operation of covert activities towards successful prosecution. The task force is currently experiencing a vast amount of officer overtime . The present budget restricts these investigators in the amount of over-time they can be paid. In absence of an overtime budget, we must compensate these overtime hours in the form of compensatory time as outlined in the Fair Labor Standards Act. In the second quarter of this budget, we have been forced to compensate over 100 hours back to the investigators causing a loss in total productivity. With the addition of a third investigator, we feel some of the case load can be shared to limit the amount of overtime accrued per investigator. Salaries and benefits were calculated using entry-level personnel to replace experienced personnel assigned to the Task Force. However, because the Sheriff ' s Office has a low turnover, no sergeant vacancies have occured, nor are likely, since the entry-level sergeant was hired in the 1990-1991 grant period. The same situation is true regarding the deputy. These positions have been budgeted at the actual cost for required step increases in grade in the 1991-1992 request. The salary and benefits for the additional request position are msnimized by anticipating at least one vacancy and entry-level replacement occuring during the 1991-1992 grant period. This is an estimate at best. Entry-level cost are substituted for a more experience position begining in April . Because most of the municipalities in Weld County employ an average of three to four officers per agency, no relief is available to make a full time assignment to the task force cause. The other deputy, supervisor and deputy district attorney positions are a continuation of the first year grant positions with appropriate step increases . These second year position total $26 ,562 for 910413 the deputy, $34,541 for the sergeant, and $34, 461 for the deputy district attorney, plus benefits . All positions are budgeted for a full 12 months . We have also built in an over-time budget of $5,475 for the second year grant period. This would allow us some flexibility to pay overtime when needed as opposed to sacrificing production towards our goals . The average investigator would earn approximately $21 . 06 per hour for over-time pay. Based on the second quarter stats , I feel 20 hours of OT per 28 day cycle would fulfill our needs . This breaks down to 5 hours per cycle per officer for the 13 cycles in a year. This figure is in comparison to the comparable size drug unit of the Greeley Police Department . Benefits for the four positions include $6, 783 . 00 of county shared cost for health insurance, $9 , 173 for FICA, and $7 , 195 to cover the county paid portion for retirement . Benefits for the four officers for 12 months of the second year budget period total $23 , 151 . 00 .

SUPPLIES AND OPERATING EXPENSES : 6210 Office Supplies expenditures includes all routine offices supplies needed to maintain an office with at least four full time personnel . This would include such items as pens , markers , cassette tapes, notebooks, paper- clips . Essential supplies are figured at $50 . 00 per month. A battery expense is figured at 20- 9 volt batteries per month to power the transmitters, receivers and locator devices (Fireflys) and 20 AA batteries per month to operate pagers , recorders and programmable scanners to monitor covert operations . This expense is estimated to run $47 . 00 per month or $564 . 00 for the year. Postage is estimated at $200 . 00 per year to mail case reports or other case related correspondence to other agencies . I have also included within this line two additional locking file cabinets at a total cost of $480 . 00 to assist in the storage of case files and related paperwork and add better security to those files requiring limited access . A WordPerfect 5 . 1 software package has also been included to be installed into our computer system. This will enable a the Task Force to have a part-time secretary do some of the transcription at the task force building, relieving some of the backlog on our cases that are currently tied up at the Sheriff ' s Office . Blank format forms will also be installed to assist the officers in producing search and arrest warrants . The cost of this program is currently $248 . 00 as quoted by the Weld County Information Services Department. This cost my vary slightly either way with new versions coming out yearly. 6220 Operating Expenses cover such items as officer expenses when operating out-of-county during assist with other agencies, mileage to cover use of personal vehicles when used for the purpose of departmental business, some fuel cost from officers personal expense fund to purchase fuel when working away from the city of Greeley, obtaining legal documents , search fees for documents , copies of maps , copies of case reports, purchasing of job related publications, and small items used in daily up- keep of the operation to name a few. This line would also include $800 . 00 of funding for the purposes of paying tuition and fees for out-side schools and seminars . The sum of $5800 . 00 is based on the second quarter operation of the Weld County Drug Task Force of $1237 . 85 and some adjustment for adding an extra person to the operation for the second year, plus $800 . 00 to cover training tuition needs . 6316 Radio Service is the cost of leasing four 16 910413 channel MT-1000 radios from Motorola at a cost of $160 . 79 per month. These radios were leased from the state bid price for a period of 36 months with an option to buy out the lease after 12 months of service. The cost to carry our option through December of 1991 will cost $482 . 37 . At this time, it will cost approximately $3545 . 00 to buy out the rest of the lease. Our original goal was to lease for the first year until the task force stabilized and then do the buy out during the second year of the task force when the program showed some stability. The cost to continue the lease through January of 1992 plus purchase the MT-1000s from the lease will be $4 , 028 . 6317 Vehicle Towing is estimated to cost $85 . 00 per month based on the second quarter of operation. As the task force case load increases, I estimate this figure to show some escalation. 6320 Printing is used to produce the required multi-copy forms in large quantities used for reporting case information. Other forms are printed to meet the specific needs of capturing and reporting those activities involved in a multi-jurisdictional task force. This printing budget will also be used to design and produce Weld County Drug Task Force stationary and personal business cards for each investigator assigned to a full time position for the task force. Allowances have also been incorporated in this line to produce pamphlets to educate students about drug abuse. 6340 Utilities funds are necessary to pay for electricity, gas, water and sewer expenses that would be associated with office space used by the Task Force. The Task Force is currently using donated office space as an in-kind match but we are required to maintain and pay for utilities . Based on the second quarter figures , $1, 220 . 00 will be required for the second budget year to cover utilities . 6345 Telephone communication is based on charges required to add a third line at the Task Force building, pay monthly service charges , and cover all required long distance charges for conducting drug investigations . The third line is needed to establish a hard-line link to the Weld County Information Service mainframe computer and will also be used for investigative communication for the added investigators position when not being used for data linking. Funds are also budget in this line to cover $65 . 00 per month for the cellular phone to cover line time during drug investigations . Total cost are estimated to run $120 . 00 for one line installation, $114 . 00 per month line service charge, $980 . 00 for long distances charges, and $65 . 00 per month to cover cellular 910413 line charges to conduct mobil drug investigations .. This all calculates out to $3,248 . 00 . 6360 Non-Vehicle Repairs would cover expenses for repairs on office equipment, electronic transmitting and receiving equipment, and general repair and up-keep of the donated office space. The figure of $600 . 00 was estimated from the second quarter stats of the present fiscal year. 6361 Fuel budget line is based on present fuel consumption of the vehicles currently assigned to the drug task force. We are averaging 876 miles per month per vehicle and 21 . 4 miles per gallon. Based on these figures and the addition of a forth vehicle, $2 , 162 is requested to purchase 1, 965 gallons of fuel at an average cost of $1 . 10 per gallon. 6362 Vehicle Repairs are based on the cost to maintain the present fleet in safe, running order. Second quarter figures indicate vehicle repair is running $56 . 00 per month per vehicle . At this present cost, we will require $2 , 688 . 00 to maintain four vehicles for 12 months . 6376 Undercover Leased Vehicle will be used by the investigators to make covert contacts and do undercover investigations . This vehicle would be available to switch out every few weeks through a local dealership to protect the confidentially of the vehicle and would provide the Task Force with another vehicle to use in the operation. The cost of this type of service is estimated to run $300 . 00 per month for 12 months . 6398 Contracted Services would cover the cost to operate six pagers at the rate of $91 . 50 per month or $1, 098 . 00 for the second fiscal year. We presently are leasing four pagers for $21 . 95 per month. With the stability of the Task Force, it would be cost effective to buy out the present lease and lease only the line. With the addition of a fourth investigator and possibilities of part time assistance coming in from one of the other municipalities, two more pagers will need to be purchased and will be reflected in the equipment budget line. The cost to buy out the four leased pagers will be $600 . 00 . 6531 Office Rent is presently donated office space in the rear of a downtown office building. Per the agreement with the owner, we will be responsible for part of the taxes according to what percentage of time we lease the building. It is anticipated our share for a one year period will average $1,200 . 00 . c. TRAVEL: 6370 Travel cost for outside training and seminars will be absorbed in the operational budget line to cover the cost for vehicle mileage. Out of state travel will be required to keep our present attorney current on asset seizure and forfeiture laws . We are estimating this week long seminar to cost $500 . 00 for round ticket air-fare, five nights lodging at $300 . 00 and six days of meals at $174 . 00 , plus misc . cab fare of $50 . 00 . Total cost of requested out-of-state travel would be $1, 024 . 00 . d. EQUIPMENT: 6212 Small Items of Equipment are those items costing under $500 . 00 and would include the following items ; Four 3- Line telephones to replace the current officer- supplied rotary dial phones . These new phones would enable the investigators to pick-up any one of the three lines from any of the desk within the Task Force office . I have estimated each phone to cost $150 . 00 each or $600 . 00 for the four phones . We are also including an answering machine to assist in the coordination of communication in the office when all the investigators are out. We currently have no office staff available to answer the phones during the investigators ' absence. The cost of one multi line answering machine is approximately $120 . 00 . The Task Forces deals with a large amount of paperwork which is considered confidential information and is required to properly destroy after some periods of time to protect the confidentially of those people identified. We feel this could be met with the purchase of a trash- basket top paper shredded at an estimated cost of $150 . 00 . An important tool used in the investigation of drug involved cases is a mini-cassette recorder. Some of the investigators are required to use their personal recorders that are less than acceptable to reproduce or reduce to transcription. Because of the importance of the quality of these tapes may be needed to provide important case evidence, we feel each investigator should be issued quality equipment and are requesting four recorders at 96 . 00 each. We have also requested a 2400 baud modem which would enable us to dial-up and link to the mainframe computer at the Sheriff 's Office to provide access to arrest records , contacts , pawn ticket information, civil process records , motor vehicle records, property description 910413 records and arrest warrant information without a potential breech of security from a telephone call. This method of obtaining information is also very effective. With the modem, we would also have access to outside information as credit checks and loans against certain property which would be very beneficial in identifying targets linked to seizure and forfeiture filings . The cost of the modem and associated cables and software is quoted at $310 . 00 by Weld County Information Services . As an item of safety for identification, each investigator will be issued a Weld County Drug Task Force badge and chain badge holder to identify them as officers when conducting raids . The estimated cost of four badges and holders would run $160 . 00 . During our assist with several of the other metro drug agencies , we have determined the need to have the capability to monitor the "body bug" for safety and security of information reasons . Because our radio communication system is conducted on UHF frequencies, we can not monitor the bug through our system and must purchase programmable scanners to assist us in monitoring the VHF bug. We are requesting to purchase two programmable scanners at $149 . 95 per scanner. The programmable feature is also a handy feature when working with other agencies to monitor their activity. With the addition of another investigator and foreseeing some activity from other municipalities to put in part time investigators , we would require two more pagers to be added to our present system of four pagers . The cost of each added pager would be $150 . 00 . The total cost of the small equipment budget would be $2 , 324 . 00 . 6490 Capital Expenditures are those items which cost in access of $500 . 00 per item and would include the following items ; A 500mW Disguise Digital Pager/Alarm Transmitter which will be used to monitor covert activities . We currently have access to two 250mW pagers that have proven to be somewhat unreliable at times . These are also shared bugs that are not always available when we need them. We are requesting to purchase the above transmitter for the sole use of the Weld County Drug Task Force and will use current equipment to monitor and record the transmissions . The cost of this transmitter as listed in the 1991 Audio Intelligence Devices Catalog, Model #TX-788AT is $1 , 750 . 00 . The Task Force is also requesting the purchase of a cellular telephone. A 5 watt Motorola Transportable would cost $625 . 00 and would include an external antenna. This piece of equipment is a necessity when conducting 910413 undercover operations to reschedule covert activities when plans are change and there is no availability of telephone communication when working rural areas of Weld County. All Drug Units we have come in contact with over the last seven months have used cellular units in all of their covert activities . These phones have been a major cost savings when related to the cost of officer time on a large scale drug buy/bust . Another piece of equipment that will strengthen our case investigations is a surveillance camera which would include a zoom lens and an auto-winder. This type of equipment is used to produce photos of suspects , suspect vehicles , suspect homes and property and record visually the sequence of covert activities . The photos have been used by other drug investigative units to provide an extra margin of safety in preparing officers for raids and bust. The cost for the surveillance camera is estimated at $1,200 . 00 . With the addition of another full-time investigator and the possibility of part time assistance from other local municipalities , we will need to purchase two more Motorola MT-1000 Pac-Sets . Our current supply of leased equipment does not provide enough reliable communication for safe operation due to the number of units needed to conduct the operation. These pac-sets are the sole source of communication for the Weld County Drug Task Force and it is important these pac-sets provide reliable communication from all locations within Weld County. The cost for each MT-1000 is $1 ,269 . 00 according to state bid. This package includes a scrambler system to allow privacy communication of task force operative during sensitive operations . The total cost for two additional MT-1000s is $2,538 . 00 . The total requested budget line for capital expenditures is $6 , 113 . 00 . e. CONTRACTS AND FEES: 6350 Professional Services would cover services such as the MMPI-2 , ISB, MCMI , and FRIO/B psychological testing of new full time investigators coming into the task force . Because of the nature of this type of work and the responsibility involved with each investigator, this is a required test for all investigators to successfully pass before being assigned to the Drug Task Force. The cost of these test is $120 . 00 per officer. We also require each officer to submit to a drug screen once a month as directed by Title V of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988 to maintain a drug-free work-place . The cost of this test is $35 . 00 per officer. Testing four officers for 12 months will cost $1, 680 . 00 . I have also requested that each investigator working for the Drug Task Force be offered the Hepatitis B vaccine . These officers are in a high risk area for contracting this disease. The present cost for law enforcement personnel is $150 . 00 for the three inoculations . This vaccine should be sufficient for a lifetime and therefore is considered a one time charge. All four full time investigators should receive the shots at a cost of $600 . 00 . The total cost for professional services will be $2 , 400 . 00 for the second fiscal year. 6356 Data Processing Maintenance is the cost of maintaining the present system installed at the Weld County Drug Task Force building. Weld County Information Services charges $20 . 00 per month to keep all equipment working. The total cost for the second fiscal year is estimated to be $240 . 00 . 6351 Civil Court Filing Fees will cost us $80 . 00 for each civil case we file. We have filed 33 cases in the second quarter of this grant period and it is estimated we will file 150 civil cases for property forfeiture in the second year of the grant . $12 , 000 will be needed to cover these fees . However, we can anticipate full recovery through seizure forfeitures to cover these fees on a case to case basis or the civil case will not be filed. 91°413 f . CONFIDENTIAL FUNDS : 6229 P/E is based on comparable figures from other drug units that the Weld County Drug Task Force have worked with over the past seven months . Figures provided by the South Metro Task Force indicate approximately 70 to 80% of the confidential funds budget should be dedicated to the purchase of evidence. 6229 P/I is based on figures provided in the South Metro Report indicating 33 to 35% of the total confidential funds budget will go toward the purchase of information. We are developing a policy based on information received from several area drug units to start working several paid informants . Since our conception seven months ago, the Weld County Drug Task Force has only paid informants on a limited basis . With the increase in the confidential funds budget line, a more aggressive position toward working paid informants will be developed. 6229 P/S is estimated to run $1 , 050 . 00 for the second year of operation for the task force. The total confidential funds budget for the Weld County Drug Task Force for the second year of operation will run $15, 000 . 00 . 910413 24 . Problem Statement: All Weld County law enforcement agencies continue to experience significant amounts of crime and incidents involving drugs and individuals associated with drug activities. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has identified and interdicted several major clandestine methamphetamine laboratories in Weld County over the last five (5) years. Task Force participating law enforcement agencies requested assistance from the Task Force in undercover operations. The Task Force participating law enforcement agencies responded with agents, equipment and other in kind resources. Those resources included: 910413 In-Kind Match Contributions Salaries 1007 Investigator Ornelas $37,338 Difference between Inv. Franks and 1st/yr deputy $10, 780 Difference between Sgt.

This effort has enabled the Task Force to operationalize goals established in the first year grant. The Task Force, through the combined efforts of the participating agencies, has acquired information in efficient intelligence operations identifying drug dealers and habitual users; and documenting their criminal histories and present activity. These individuals have been targeted for undercover operations including, but not limited to, undercover surveillance, and controlled buys. Through the Task Force program of cooperation with participating agencies and undercover operations by members of the Task Force, the targeted individuals will be apprehended and the property used to commit illegal drug trafficking and the profit gained from that activity will be seized and forfeited to the seizing agency. In turn, the seizing agency will either use the property in law enforcement operations, or sell the property and apply the proceeds to law enforcement activity. Another dimension of drug law enforcement which is not unique to Weld County but nonetheless present is that even if criminal drug offenders are caught, prosecuted and convicted, they often get to keep the fruits of their crimes. That is, they get to keep the money, the cars, the houses and all the other property which constitutes profit from the drug business. Based upon the experience of the Deputy District Attorney assigned to the Task Force, most drug dealers see incarceration as a cost of doing business. Part of the business risk drug dealers take is being caught. If the dealers can make One Million Dollars ($1, 000 , 000 . 00) on a drug deal and get, for example, four (4) years of incarceration, then their business pays them the equivalent of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250 , 000. 00) per year. (Note: It is rare that drug dealers will spend as much as four (4) years in jail or prison) From the business standpoint, the risk of incarceration is acceptable to many drug dealers if they can keep the profits from the business when they get out. Therefore, the problem is to prosecute drug offenders, and to take the profits from their illegal business. 25. Project Goals and Objectives During the first year of operation, the Task Force identified several goals . The goals are, generally, to identify drug dealers and habitual users, document their criminal histories; target these individuals ; apprehend the targeted individuals ; confiscate all property facilitating illegal activity conducted by the targeted individuals ; prosecute the targeted individuals; and establish 21®413 meaningful system to exchange information with the community. These goals are defined and agreed upon by all Task Force participating law enforcement agencies. Only the Task Force Control Group (the governing body of the Task Force, selected from the Chiefs of the participating law enforcement agencies) can allow deviation from these goals. The goals and objectives for the task force' second year of operation are: 1) Continue the First Year Goals and Objectives: a. Identify criminals who use and sell dangerous drugs with an emphasis on the sellers and users with serious drug habits which are more likely to be involved in the other types of criminal activity to support their drug habits. b. Identify known criminals (individuals with significant multiple arrest histories) that fall within the above group and document their criminal histories . c. Target, by special effort, those violators that fall within the identified areas and reside within task force jurisdiction. d. Apprehend targeted individuals through close undercover operations, and executing outstanding arrest warrants . e. Confiscate all property used by these target subjects in furtherance of illegal activities with an emphasis on personal and real property gained through illegal means. f. Contribute to the successful prosecution and conviction of all individuals arrested by close continuous investigatory activity up through sentencing. g. Work in cooperation with the school systems and other community groups on a bi-monthly basis. Ensure exchanges of information for the purpose of providing a realistic picture of the drug problems in a particular community at the present time. Provide task force assistance to enhance the educational efforts in the area of drug abuse. 2) "Fine tune" the First Year Goals and Objectives as necessary, considering the intelligence obtained during the first year of operation; the resources available to the task force in terms of staffing, equipment and time; and the professional advice of the officers, investigators and prosecutors involved in each, individual case. 3) Educate arresting officers as to what to look for when making arrests and how to investigate drug crimes. These officers are the "eyes" that see what information is reported and, which is the basis for the entire criminal prosecution and civil forfeiture. J10413 4) Share information and intelligence with other drug enforcement agencies to avoid duplication of effort and to present a united front in the war on drugs. 5) Develop and maintain confidential working relationships with other law enforcement agencies including agencies outside of those participating in this Task Force Program. These agencies include but are not limited to the United States Drug Enforcement Agency; the Federal Bureau of Investigation; the Internal Revenue Service (and its Criminal Investigation Division) ; the United States Attorney's Office; the Colorado Department of Revenue; the Colorado Attorney General's Office; and law enforcement programs located in other districts in Colorado and other states. 6) Cooperate with the agencies within this Task Force and with the agencies identified in number 4 , supra, on joint law enforcement operations and participate in sharing intelligence and assets obtained as a result of this cooperation, making more efficient use of the resources available. These goals and objectives are designed to pool the resources of many agencies. "Resources, " as used here, means not only money but also the talent and expertise within each agency. For example, the professional talent and expertise that the Internal Revenue Service may provide in a money laundering operation can complement the intelligence and knowledge of local operations provided by local law enforcement. Or, for example, intelligence obtained by a law enforcement agency outside of the participating members of this Task Force may be valuable to the Task Force in prosecuting a criminal defendant in Courts within the jurisdiction of the Task Force. The concept is to avoid duplication of effort, efficiently use "resources" (as used above) , and increase cooperation between/among law enforcement agencies. Drug dealers do not recognize jurisdictional boundaries. Frequently, drug dealers will cross jurisdictional boundaries in a conscious effort to confuse and confound law enforcement. Jurisdictional boundaries are only lines drawn on a map. It is imperative that law enforcement do all we can to minimize problems created by jurisdictional issues and focus on the objective: Eradicate illegal drug trafficking. We must avoid being our own worst enemy. b. Project Objectives The objectives of the Task Force are to identify, arrest and prosecute as many individuals as possible within the Task Force goals. The Task Force will monitor the progress of the targeted individuals through the criminal justice system. Monitoring will neutralize drug offenders through adjudication and sentencing. The Task Force will develop and maintain centralized intelligence of drug and drug-related activity in Weld 91.1413 County. This intelligence will include but not be limited to clandestine methamphetamine laboratories, and crimes of violence (murder, assault and battery, etc. ) related to drug activity. Task Force effectiveness will be measured by: 1) The number of drug related arrests made during each month, quarter, and year; 2) The number of individuals arrested with prior arrest records consisting of more than one non-traffic arrest; 3) The quantity of drugs recovered by the Task Force effort by month, quarter, and year; 4) The type and quantity of property, real and personal , seized by the Task Force by month, quarter, and year; 5) The number of convictions as a percentage of the number of arrests; and 6) The average sentence ordered compared with state and national averages as available; These measures will be compared with information from Task Force participating agencies for prior drug arrest statistics for each of the agencies, and as a group. 26 . Project Description, Workplan and Timetable. The Task Force' primary mission is to apprehend and prosecute drug offenders. Agents of the Task Force will infiltrate known drug cultures. Such covert operations will build intelligence with which to arrest targeted drug offenders and will advance the information on other, presently unknown drug activity. Information obtained through the Task Force effort will be disseminated to law enforcement agencies. The information will be furnished to educators and treatment centers in a modified form to maintain security and the integrity of the Task Force effort. Educators and treatment centers will receive information as needed to meet the needs of the community and to evaluate the effectiveness of their respective programs. The inter-agency, multi-jurisdictional effort of this Task Force program allows all Weld County law enforcement agencies to pool resources toward a common goal . The program provides undercover officers to those law enforcement agencies which do not have alternate resources available for such operations. The program allows participating agencies to efficiently allocate scarce resources on police services without committing resources to ineffective drug/narcotic investigations. 910413 In conclusion, the effort has begun. The Task Force program is up and running, with successful initial efforts. The program must continue if the efforts of the Task Force, its participating law enforcement agencies, its undercover agents, the Deputy District Attorney assigned to the Task Force, and the financial resources are to be realized. That is, the program is almost to the point of realizing the fruits of its labor. If the program does not continue, the effort will be wasted. Task Force Workplan and Timetable The Weld County Sheriff's Department is the applicant agency for this project. The Weld County Sheriff's Office, the Greeley Police Department, and the Weld County District Attorney' s Office have successfully operated a joint forensic laboratory since 1984 . The Weld County Sheriff's Office received and successfully executed a grant from Communities for a Drug Free Colorado in 1988 for the STAR Project. Weld County has been successful in administering and achieving objectives with DEA marihuana eradication grants and has participated in several ad hoc multi-jurisdictional drug investigations during the same period. The Sheriff's Office has conducted undercover investigations in the past which have included the use of body transmitters, long range photography, ground and air surveillance, and a pen register. The project staff will consist of a Project Director, one Sergeant, and three full time undercover Deputy Sheriffs. The Task Force will be supplemented with temporary personnel from participating agencies as needed. The Project Director for the Weld County Task Force is Lieutenant Kim Fliethman, Weld County Sheriff's Office. Lieutenant Fliethman has fourteen (14) years of law enforcement experience. His experience includes duties as a Deputy Sheriff, Corporal and Sergeant. His present responsibilities include supervising thirty (30) employees, three (3) Patrol Division Sergeants, the Investigations Division Sergeant and the Weld County Task Force Sergeant, as well as overseeing the Money Laundering undercover operation referred to elsewhere. Lieutenant Fliethman is a licensed pilot and has participated in marihuana eradication projects, aerial surveillance operations, and covert photography. He is DEA-trained to investigate air smuggling operations and other drug-related activity. The Lieutenant has an Associate Arts Degree in Criminal Justice from Aims Community College, Greeley, Colorado, and a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Adult Education from the Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado. The undercover agents assigned to the Task Force will be members of the Weld County Sheriff's Office. Each Deputy assigned to the Task Force will be Colorado certified as a peace officer. Their duties include infiltrating drug cultures, gathering intelligence, and purchasing drugs a�10413 possible. These agents will assist as needed to prosecute drug offenders. The Weld County Sheriff and the Weld County District Attorney comprise the governing board of the program. These chief executives are responsible for Task Force policy. The Operations Committee of the Task Force is comprised of elected members, selected from and by the Chiefs of the participating agencies. The Operations Committee or "Control Group" plans and coordinates operations among the participating agencies. Each participating agency agrees to share equally in the Task Force decision-making process. Each participating agency has submitted a Letter of Agreement declaring its intent to participate in the Task Force program. Critical Elements The inter-agency, multi-jurisdictional approach satisfies the law enforcement function while it maintains efficient resource allocation. The program does not duplicate effort so manpower, equipment, and funds are not wasted. Nineteen (19) law enforcement agencies participate in the Task Force. The Chief executive of each agency has agreed to support the Task Force and contribute to the project with manpower, equipment and funding. These executives also participate in policy-making for the Task Force. This group and the Project Director meet quarterly. Members of the Task Force Control Group are elected from among and by the Chief Executives of the participating agencies. Chief Executives of the participating agencies may attend Control Group meetings as they desire. The Project Director reports directly to the Control Group. The Control Group meets monthly. Monthly statistics and finances are reported to all participating agencies through the Control Group and with its approval . e. Effects and Impact The project will : 1) Neutralize known drug offenders (dealers and users) and identify previously unknown drug offenders (dealers and users) ; 2) Remove from the market the largest possible quantity of controlled substances and marihuana; 3) Seize property used to commit drug-related offenses and the profits realized from illegal drug trafficking; and 910413 4) Prosecute persons involved in the illegal manufacture, possession, sale, and distribution of controlled substances and marihuana. The effort attacks Supply and Demand for illegal drugs and marihuana. The Task Force project is designed to reduce "street crime" in Weld County. The effort will reduce drug-related activity by creating distrust among the illegal drug organizations. This distrust will be fostered by infiltrating the illegal drug organizations and seizing the property and profits of those organizations. Distrust and losing profits of the business will reduce supply. (Note: an increase in the retail price of controlled substances and marihuana will indicate effective law enforcement) . The Task Force will reduce demand by cooperating with area educators and treatment centers as described above. Publicizing Task Force efforts and exposing drug dealers will reduce demand in Weld County. Decreased supply and demand will reduce criminal activity associated with the drug culture. Prosecuting drug offenders and forfeiting property used or obtained in illegal drug activity requires sophisticated law enforcement officers and informed prosecutors. Drug offenders hide controlled substances. They conceal profits from illegal drug operations through money laundering operations and may maintain financial accounts in banks or records kept at home. The officers involved in drug crime investigation must be educated to know what to look for and where to look for it. The Task Force participating agencies have members with a great deal of expertise in specific areas of law enforcement. For example, Greeley Police Department (GPD) has a detective recognized throughout Colorado for his expertise in street recognition who will teach techniques in street recognition upon request. The District Attorney's Office has an attorney (already assigned to the Task Force) specializing in drug case prosecution and asset seizure and forfeiture who already plans to provide a seminar in asset seizure and forfeiture. Both agencies will provide seminars to Task Force participating agencies upon request. Other "specialists" are available from the respective agencies. Any drug case investigation must seize illegal controlled substances and drug trafficking records including sources of income, debts owed to other drug traffickers and an assessment of the general standard of living of the subject arrested. If the offender appears to be living above his legitimate financial means, then the question becomes one of ascertaining the source of his/her additional income. The District Attorney's Office has secured a cooperative agreement with Weld County Information Services for access to the on-line property records of the Weld Count-010413 Treasurer/Assessor. Property records can be searched by nam or address or certain other identifiers from the relative security of the DA's Office. This process maintains security during an investigation and provides a complete listing of real and personal property vulnerable to forfeiture in any given Weld County drug case. The Task Force will seek the expertise and talent of County offices as well as state and federal agencies. Individual law enforcement agencies participating in this Task Force generally do not have the financial resources to employ financial or accounting experts to examine personal financial records of drug suspects. Other agencies, such as the federal and state agencies identified above, have such expertise. More often than not local agency intelligence will benefit the cooperating agency. Both agencies gain by cooperating. Inter-agency expertise is most often used to examine documents and other evidence requiring skill or talent in a specific area. The evidence is usually found during execution of a search warrant or arrest warrant. The Task Force intends to use such expertise to obtain search warrants. The reader is referred to the sample Document Search Warrant included in this paper and attached as "Appendix 1 -- Document Search Warrant. " A substantial amount of evidence can be obtained through executing a Document Search Warrant because almost any area of a residence or business can be searched looking for documents described in the warrant -- hopefully the search would reveal evidence in addition to the searched-for documents. Such aggressive approaches to the war on drugs are not possible without the interagency cooperation identified in the goals and objectives section. The agencies providing such financial expertise gain the intelligence and knowledge that only local law enforcement can provide. Both sides win. Drug offenders also hide assets by filing false "affidavits of indigency" with the Courts. Offenders request court-appointed counsel claiming they are too poor to afford to retain a lawyer. The Weld County District Attorney's Office has requested and the respective Courts have agreed to provide copies of all "affidavits of indigency" and requests for court-appointed counsel . Section 21-1-103 (3) provides that the Court grant a hearing, on request from the prosecutor, to consider the propriety of court-appointed counsel . The District Attorney's Office will subpoena financial records of the defendant for the hearing. The hearing will provide initial financial information useful at the hearing and in preparing civil discovery in the form of Motions to Produce and Interrogatories. Further, 91 413 such request may encourage a plea agreement if the defendant is denied court-appointed ("free" to the defendant, at least) counsel or does not wish to document his/her financial condition. The District Attorney's Office has begun a program of cooperation with the Colorado Department of Revenue and the- Colorado Attorney General's Office. In seeking to establish predicate acts under COCOA the District Attorney's Office is referring drug case notices to the AG's Office for authority to pursue tax collections. Sections 39-21-118 , 39-23-621 and 39-28 . 7-101 through 109, C. R. S . (1986 and 1988 Supp. ) establish taxes on controlled substances, which are made predicate acts for civil COCCA actions in Section 18-17-103 (5) (b) (XII) and (XIV) , C. R. S. (1986) . Constitutional fifth amendment concerns caution against criminal prosecution of failure to remit taxes on illegally held controlled substances (self-incrimination concerns) . Case law indicates that the taxes may be collected once the drug offender is captured. The civil forfeiture action will include a suit to collect back taxes, penalties and interest owed to the Colorado Department of Revenue. Defendant-owned property which we cannot obtain through COCCA or the public nuisance forfeiture actions is vulnerable to the judgment obtained by the DA's Office on behalf of the Department of Revenue. This judgment may be considerable given the treble damages established in a COCOA action. Property not subject to forfeiture under public nuisance or COCCA theories may be vulnerable to collection for the treble damages for failure to remit taxes, penalties, and interest. The DA' s office intends to combine the typical public nuisance action with a COCCA proceeding, simultaneously with the criminal prosecution. When the criminal defendant makes his first appearance before the courts he will be served with a civil complaint, summons, temporary restraining order, motion to produce and interrogatories similar to those found in "Appendix 3 -- Draft Documents and Letters. " If the criminal transaction involves real property, a Notice of Lis Pendens will be filed by the DA' s office immediately upon notice of the criminal acts. The defendant will receive a copy of any Notice of Lis Pendens when he is served with the civil complaint as described above. The defendant has a decision to make at this point. He must either answer the civil discovery served upon him (and risk providing incriminating information) or claim fifth amendment protections to guard against criminal conviction (and be barred -- by case law -- from presenting evidence relevant to the information sought in civil discovery by sanctions for failure to respond to discovery) . In either circumstance, the People will ultimately prevail , assuming that the case is solid, with a criminal conviction and a civil forfeiture. 910413 If the defendant provides the information requested in the civil discovery, then criminal conviction is almost certain. If the defendant refuses to provide the discovery but is convicted in criminal court, then the People can obtain the property through the public nuisance acts. The DA's Office is presently reviewing drug cases filed and closed over the last five (5) years. The statute of limitations applicable to COCCA and public nuisance actions prevents going any further. The DA's Office believes that the most efficient manner to pursue forfeiture cases may be to go after defendants who have already pleaded guilty, using the prior plea to establish the crime was committed and identify property used in the commission of the crime or obtained as a result thereof. The approach by the DA's Office will complement an on-going undercover money laundering operation. As criminal defendants get concerned over protecting their property from forfeiture by laundering (as our Task Force gains effect) , another undercover operation will appear to launder the money realized from illegal drug trafficking. (The time schedule for this operation is approximately two (2) years. ) Drug dealers will believe they are protecting their drug profits when, in reality, they are transferring all of their profit to undercover agents of the Weld County Sheriff's Department. Property not realized from Task Force "direct" undercover operations has a good chance of being seized and forfeited through the undercover money laundering operation. The undercover money laundering operation is managed by a control group consisting of representatives of the Weld County Sheriff' s Office, the Weld County District Attorney's Office, the Weld County Comptroller, and the Colorado Attorney General 's Office. 27 . Evaluation Design The Task Force program will continue to be evaluated within guidelines established in the prior grant. Performance evaluations of the Deputy District Attorney assigned to criminal and civil drug cases will be according to guidelines consistent with goals and objectives expressed earlier and with policy established by the District Attorney's Office. a. Performance Measures 1) Effectiveness Measures Task Force arrest and seizure data will measure the unit's effectiveness and success. Task Force evaluation measures follow the guidelines and procedures established by the Bureau of Justice Assistance for monitoring project performance. The targeted group is operationally defined as those individuals residing in Weld County, Colorado who ar910413 actively involved with illegal narcotics and/or marihuana possession, use and/or sales with prior criminal record arrests for other offenses. The standard of assessment used for effectiveness in this regard is if fifty percent (50%) of those arrested by the Task Force have prior records. One objective of the Task Force is to reduce the amount of illegal narcotics and marihuana available to Weld County residents. Records maintained by the Task Force will detail the quantity of illegal narcotics and marihuana seized. These records will indicate the quantity of the illegal narcotics and marihuana seized, the maximum street value, and the amount of illegal narcotics and marihuana seized relative to funds expended for the seizure. The Weld County, Colorado area targeted by the Task Force will show a significant increase in drug-related arrests. These figures will be compared to each participating agency's statistics for prior years. These figures will reflect the Task Force' effectiveness. These statistics will be compared to a statewide average. The effectiveness of prosecuting offenders arrested by the Task Force will be measured. The effectiveness of the prosecution effort will be measured against data furnished by the Colorado District Attorney's Council. The Task Force will seize drug-offender assets used to commit the illegal activity and/or profits realized from that activity. The Task Force will use these assets to finance continued operations thereby relieving the financial burden of the contributing agencies and ultimately return the benefit to the community. Records of all assets and cash seized will be maintained. The Task Force will continue to answer: Is there a statistically significant reduction in the incidence of other crimes when there is increased drug enforcement? Will there be a stronger correlation in this area as more drug cases are prosecuted? Will cooperative multi-jurisdictional efforts at local government levels enhance overall cooperation between all levels of government and enhance relations between various factions within the communities involved? The information acquired by the Weld County Task Force will be available to outside research. The information will be limited only that confidential information regarding information sources and/or unsubstantiated information will not be disseminated. 2) Efficiency Measures The measure of Task Force efficiency is measured in terms of dollar ratio or return on investment. That is, the Task Force will measure the number of arrests and prosecutions; the number of arrestees reflecting a prior criminal history; the street value of drugs seized; and the dollar amount expended to achieve these figures. A dollar ratio or return on investment will then be calculated and used as a measure of efficiency. The greater the return on investment, the greater the efficiency. b. Data Needs 1 and 2 Data Needs Data needed to evaluate the program are the specific data elements pertaining to the number of arrests, prior criminal history information, criminal disposition, all financial information regarding monies expended for undercover drug operations, and current Uniform Crime Reporting statistics for each participating agency. The Project Director will record, compile and publish monthly data and statistics. These published data and statistics will be supplied to each participating agency for review. Data will be compared monthly and annually. The beginning of the grant year is the base-line for evaluation. Data will be compared to the previous year on a year-to-year basis. 3 . Reporting Systems The data will be collected at the end of each month's operations from statistics maintained during the operation month. The Project Director will collect and maintain the data. The Project Director will compile and publish a monthly report to the Chief Executives of each of the participating agencies. The publication will include statistics developed from Task Force operations, the Uniform Crime Reporting system, and the District Attorney's Office. c. Methods of Analysis Data from the baseline data required for this program area will be analyzed. These figures will be accumulated each month, then compared at year's end to the original baseline figures in each data element. The difference in the baseline figures and year operating figures will be reported numerically and as a percentage of change. Qualitative measures can be established by comparing conviction data with similar data before the grant began operating. Qualitative measures related to conviction information will be collected by the District Attorney's Office and provided to the Project Director. The Project Director will be responsible for quantitative and qualitative analysis. Quantitative and qualitative statistics will be evaluated to determine if changes are necessary in the management of the Task Force. If, as an example, convictions are lagging compared to the prior year, an analysis will be made to determine why that is occurring. If the reason(s) appear to be related to how cases are prepared, how evidence is prepared, or other operational aspects, changes 910413 procedure will be implemented to improve the deficient areas. "! 28 . Evaluation of Past Progress. The program is up and running within the schedule established by the prior and first grant. The program is positioned to begin realizing results. 29 . Plans for Future Funding This project is planned to be funded in the future through both continued agency participation in the form of contributed support and forfeited assets from the operation itself. In this way, local agencies can take advantage of the efficiency and effectiveness of a multi-jurisdictional approach yet use the resources of the drug offenders themselves as a way to fund enforcement activity. The strength of commitment and support from the many Weld County law enforcement agencies indicates the likelihood for continued support. 910413 AULT POLICE DEPAI1TMENT O:B;11Poz9'el Ault,.Colorado 80610 • I fully support the continuation of a multi-jurisdictional task force in Weld County.

Because of that, this letter is being submitted in support of the grant request by the Weld County Sheriff' s Office. Because of the excessive workload in the District Attorney' s Office at the present time no single deputy district attorney can be assigned to full-time coverage of drug cases and civil forfeitures. It is our belief that an aggressive civil forfeiture approach as well as aggressive prosecution is necessary to control the drug problem within Weld County. Approval of the grant request will allow this office to retain a full-time deputy district attorney who is solely responsible for all drug prosecution and for civil forfeiture actions . This will allow us to continue to aggressively pursue both areas and obtain the results that are needed. Because of the nature of law enforcement in Weld County, a county wide multi-jurisdictional drug task force is the only way that we can effectively pursue drug cases county wide . This task force gives us the man power and expertise to assist all jurisdictions within county. I strongly urge serious consideration of this grant proposal .
