Kegley g k Ie December 21, 2007 Amendment to the Dakota County Drug Task Force TO: DATE: SUBJECT: In January of 2005 the City of Hastings, along with the other cities in Dakota County, entered into a joint powers agreement to establish an organization, the Dakota County Drug Task Force, to coordinate the efforts to apprehend and prosecute drug offenders. The City of Hastings currently has an officer assigned to the Dakota County Drug Task Force on a part time basis. During the term of the joint powers of agreement several cities have elected to contribute further resources to the Drug Task Force in the form of more man hours than are in the original January 1 S\ 2005 agreement. In order to update the agreement to make it accurate for what each participating municipality is contributing to the Drug Task Force, an amendment has been drawn up. The Board of Directors to which we are a member, requests that the City Council and Mayor sign off on the amendment to be included with the joint powers agreement. Having an accurate accounting of hours for each participating city is particularly important should there be any forfeiture disbursements. If you have any questions regarding this amendment please feel free to contact me at any time. Thank you. '\ ',\\.
