CACP REQUEST FOR FUNDING ASSISTANCE - DRUG PROGRAM.
The Committee reviewed a letter dated November 18, 1987 submitted
by the Colorado Association of Chiefs of Police, Inc. (CACP)
requesting funding assistance for a "matching" grant offered by
the Communities for Drug Free Colorado. The Association's
portion of the grant is $16,000. CACP will administer the
program. Chief Racine reported such a grant would provide
high -quality training seminars and use of surveillance equipment
to police departments throughout Colorado. The Committee recom-
mends: (1) expending $250.00 from the Narcotics Purchase Fund to
assist in the grant program; and (2) Chief Racine investigate the
structure of the Communities for Drug Free Colorado Agency and
advise.
POLICE DEPARTMENT VEHICLE - AUTHORIZATION TO REQUEST BIDS.
Chief Racine requested authorization to solicit bids for a new
4-wheel drive vehicle. Fleet Manager Shanafelt is presently
preparing the specifications and has advised the "state" bids
should be received in the near future. This vehicle was budgeted
for purchase during 1988. The Committee recommends Chief Racine
be authorized to solicit bids, returning to the Committee for
further review.

National Park Service Agreement. The final draft of the agree-
ment between the NPS and the Town has been reviewed by both
agencies, the Fire Department and Town Attorney White. All

The Committee recommends approval of the agreement.
