MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
BETWEEN THE FRESNO COUNTY SHERIFF-CORONER'S OFFICE AND THE MERCED
POLICE DEPARTMENT
The purpose of this memorandum of understanding (MOU) shall be to facilitate the
transfer of funds between the Fresno County Sheriff-Coroner's Office, Central Valley,
California High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) Fiduciary Facilitator and the
Merced Police Department HIDTA Operational Unit.
The CV HIDTA program provides specified funding to the Fresno County Sheriff-
Coroner's Office pursuant to Grant Agreement G15CV0004A, as may be modified from
time to time (hereinafter referred to as the "Agreement"). The Fresno County Sheriff-
Coroner shall disperse grant funds to CV HIDTA Operational Units participating in a
Task Force, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the program description and
budget, as well as applicable laws, regulations and policies.
Any such transfer of funds between the Fresno County Sheriff-Coroner's Office and the
Merced Police Department shall be in furtherance of the Agreement and the CV HIDTA
program. The Merced Police Department shall submit requests for reimbursement for
expenditures and overtime of its law enforcement personnel participating in a Task
Force to the Task Force Commander. The request for reimbursement will be in
accordance with the Agreement and the Office of National Drug control Policy (ONDCP)
rules and regulations. Once the request has been approved by the Task Force
Commander and any other applicable persons, the reimbursement request will be
forwarded to the Fresno County Sheriff-Coroner's Office with proper documentation
through the Task Force reimbursement requests. If a request for reimbursement does
not follow ONDCP's rules and regulations or there are not sufficient remaining grant
funds to make the reimbursement, the Fresno County Sheriff-Coroner's Office will not
make reimbursement and the burden of the cost will be at the expense of the Merced
Police Department. If overtime is reached at the federal maximum per officer/agent, the
burden of the cost will be at the expense of the Merced Police Department. The HIDTA
Program Policy Section 6.8.2.3 states that HIDTA funded overtime shall not exceed 25
percent of the federal G-12, Step 1 level pay scale for Federal Law Enforcement
Officers, in effect at the beginning of a calendar year.
Each party shall assume the responsibility and liability of the acts and omissions of its
own elected representatives, officers, agents, volunteers, or employees in connection
with the performance of their official duties under this MOU. For tort liability purposes,
no participating agency shall be liable (if at all) only for the torts of its own personnel
that occur within the scope of their official duties.

It is the intent of the parties, where negligence is determined to have been contributory,
principles of comparative negligence will be followed and each party shall bear the
proportionate cost of any loss, damage, expense, and liability attributable to that party's
negligence.
This agreement shall remain in effect unless revoked by the Fresno County Sheriff-
Coroner's Office CV HIDTA Fiduciary Facilitator, or until expiration of funds or the grant
itself.
