SUBJECT: City Council Meeting—January 28, 2010
ITEM: 10C1. Consider a resolution authorizing the City Manager to sign a travel and

covering out-of-state travel for grant -related activities funded through the
Strategic Program Area Reviews (SPARS).

Rick White, Administrative Manager
In 2008, the City became a sub -grantee to the City of Austin, as it received approximately $150,000 of a
$1.2 million grant under the federal Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) program to establish the Austin
Regional Information Center (ARIC). This center will be one of dozens of intelligence "fusion" centers
across the country.
This item would provide the authorization necessary for the Police Department to use a portion of the
grant for an intelligence analyst hired under the grant and the analyst's supervisor to attend the
National Fusion Center conference with personnel from other agencies also involved in ARIC's
development. The authorization letter in question is a recent requirement of the grant passed down
from the State Administrative Agency of the Governor's Office. The conference itself carries no
registration fee, but the travel -related cost will be about $1,200 per person for a total anticipated
expenditure of $2,400.
