PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
Each calendar year, the agreement between the City of Billings and Yellowstone County that establishes and guides operations of the City-County Special Investigations Unit (CCSIU) must be approved. The 2020 agreement expired on December 31, 2020. This agreement has been reviewed by the Yellowstone County Sheriff's Office and has been submitted for approval by the County Commissioners.
ALTERNATIVES ANALYZED
Council may:
- Approve the CCSIU Agreement for calendar year 2021; or
- Not approve the CCSIU Agreement for calendar year 2021.
FISCAL EFFECTS
There will be no additional financial impact to the City since the costs for the officers assigned to the CCSIU are included in the Police Department budget and all other expenses for CCSIU are budgeted in Fund 718 - Drug Forfeitures and Fines.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the City-County Special Investigations Unit (CCSIU) Agreement with Yellowstone County for calendar year 2021.
