DOJ has formed an Organized Crime Dmg Enforcement Task Force. This agreement would pay for overtime up to $5000 for an officer to participate in this task force. This resolution would not address the budget changes that would be necessary. This would come later, so this resolution would not require a public hearing. This proposal seems reasonable and I recommend signing.

Agreement (Oct. 06), Page 6 - 6 �''�f5 / ORGANIZSD CRIMS DRUG $NFORCSMENT TASK FORC$ STATE & LOCAL OVSRTIMS AND AUTHQRIZEU F3XPENSL PROGRAM GREAT LAKES REGION ADDENDUM A The "full-time" rule states: Officers assigned to OCDETF investigations must work full-time on the investigation(s) in order to be paid overtime. In order to satisfy the "full-time" requirement, a law enforcement officer must work forty (40) hours per week or eight t8) hours per day on a single or multiple OCDETF investigation(s). �y established exceptions or waivers to this definition shall be requested by the Regional Coordination Group and attached as Addendum A to the Agreement. In paragraph I(9) of the Agreement approval section, there is an exception allowed for the "State or local officers unable to be assigned to an OCDETF investigation on a full-time basi�," when an exception is granted by the OCDETF coordination group. Given the si2e of narcotics units in some of the departments in this Region and the increasinq demands being placed on these units, the Great Lakes Regional Coordination Group has determined that some flexibility in application of the full-time rule is required. To that end the following exception policy best meets the demand of significant contribution by the state or local agency and the flexibility required to meet all the law enforcement demands: All overtime reimbursement requests that do not meet the forty hour week or eight hour day rule must indicate that the requesting department worked four times as many regular hours (base salary time) as overtime hours requested. Therefore, there must be a 4:1 ratio between regular hours worked and overtime hours requested. Officers who are working 40 hours a week or eight hours a day of regular time on the OCDETF investigation are excluded from this ratio calculation. Agreement (OCt. 06), Page 7
