Letter of Agreement No. 2008-62 Page 2 <br />2008 to defray costs relating to the eradication and suppression of illicit cannabis. HCPD explicitly <br />understands and agrees that Federal funds provided to HCPD under this Agreement may not be used <br />to defray costs relating to herbicidal eradication of cannabis without the advance written consent of <br />DEA. While using the Federal funds provided to HCPD under this Agreement for activities on <br />Federal land, HCPD agrees to notify the appropriate local office of the U.S. Department of <br />Agriculture (Forest System) (national forests and national grasslands) and the U.S. Department of <br />the Interior (Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau <br />of Indian Affairs, Bureau of Reclamation) of HCPD's presence on Federal land. <br />4. The Federal funds provided to HCPD are primarily intended for payment of deputies'/officers' <br />overtime, and reserve officers' salaries and overtime while those deputies and officers are actively <br />engaged in the cannabis eradication process, as well as for per diem as appropriate and other direct <br />costs related to the actual conduct of cannabis eradication, such as rental of equipment and vehicles, <br />fuel for vehicles and aircraft, and minor repairs and maintenance necessitated by their use to support <br />cannabis eradication. These Federal funds are not intended primarily for the purchase of equipment <br />or supplies. Unless specifically itemized in the operational plan and approved in advance, <br />expenditures for expendable and non-expendable equipment should not normally exceed 10% of the <br />total Federal funds awazded. All purchases of property having a useful life of one year or more with <br />an acquisition cost of $300.00 or more per unit or an aggregate cost of $1,000.00 or more require the <br />advance approval of the Domestic Cannabis Eradication/Suppression Program (DCE/SP) <br />coordinator, unless specifically itemized in the operational plan and approved by DEA. <br />5. In compliance with Section 623 of Public Law 102-141, HCPD agrees that no amount of these <br />funds shall be used to finance the acquisition of goods or services (including construction services) <br />unless HCPD: <br />(a) Specifies in any announcement of the awarding of the contract for the procurement of <br />the goods and services involved (including construction services) the amount of Federal <br />funds that will be used to finance the acquisition; and <br />(b) Expresses the amount announced pursuant to paragraph (a) as a percentage of the total <br />cost of the planned acquisition. <br />The above requirements only apply to procurements for goods or services (including construction <br />services) that have an aggregate value of $500,000 or more. <br />6. If DEA approves the purchase of supplies (all tangible personal property other than "equipment" <br />as defined by 28 C.F.R. § 66.3), and there is a residual inventory of unused supplies exceeding <br />$5,000 in total aggregate fair market value upon termination or completion of this Agreement, and if <br />the supplies are not needed for any other federally sponsored programs or projects, HCPD shall <br />compensate DEA for DEA's share. <br />7. If DEA approves the purchase of equipment (tangible, non-expendable personal property having <br />a useful life of more than one year and an acquisition cost of $5,000.00 or more per unit) for the use <br />of HCPD personnel engaged in cannabis eradication under this Agreement, HCPD will use, <br />manage, and dispose of the equipment in accordance with 28 C.F.R. § 66.32. <br />
