Purpose x Travel by City employees at City expense is for the purpose of training, exchange of new ideas, accomplishment of a specific purpose, or solutipn_ of a definite problem. Each employee is expected to bring credit to the City and to carry out the purpose of his trip in an effective and econom- ical manner. The City reimburses its employees for all reasonable expenses which are incurred while traveling on City *business. There is no•attempt on the part of the City to compensate the traveler for incon- venience or to provide unnecessary conveniences while traveling at City expense. II. Scope This Standard Instruction is applicable to all City travel outside of the City limits involving reimbursable expenses which are to be charged to Code 352, Travel; Code 353, Operational Travel; travel under appropri- ation in various federal, state, or bond' fund, projects; or any other financial source. III. Procedures A. Under Code 352, Travel4 prior budgetary approval is ruired. If an advance is requested, the original and 2 copies of Standard Form 33 must be submitted to the Accounting Division which will check the request against a master list of approved travel furnished it by the Budget Office. If the request appears on the master list of approved travel, the Accounting Division will return the original copy along with the advance check to the individual who is traveling. Upon com- pletion of the trip, the original Standard Form 33 will be completed and returned to the Accounting Division with the necessary expense information and receipts attached thereto. If the request is not.on the master list of approved travel, the Accounting Division will return the request to the department concerned for proper processing. 1 . *.Indicates revision or addition i Attachment II • 12 -2 -2 (continuation page B. If approval was not obtained in the printed budget,' the original and 2 copies of Standard Form 33 must be submitted to the City Manager's Office through the Budget Office. The request must show what trip is being canceled to provide funds for the additional trip. If the request is in addition to that which is approved in the budget rather than a substitution, sufficient justification must be given so that a determination can be made as to the advis- ability of a special appropriation transfer for the requested purpose. C. If no advance was obtained, the original copy of Standard Form 33 should be completed with the necessary receipts attached thereto and sent to the Accounting Division which will check the request against the master list of approved travel. If the travel is an addition or substitution, then the request must be submitted to the City Manager's Office through the Budget Office for approval. The Standard Form 33 and attached receipts will then be sent to the Accounting Division for reimbursement. D. _Operational travel will not require prior approval as long as each individual trip is approved by the department head, the division head, or the supervisor having primary responsibility for the parti- cular activity. If advances are requested, the same procedures will be carried out as under Code 352, Travel. Upon return of the traveler, the original of Standard Form 33 must be sent to the Accounting Division with the necessary expense receipts to support the requested reimbursement. IV. Reimbursable Expenditures A. To provide proper management and accounting control, definite standari must be established to determine the amount of each item and the basic items that are eligible for reimbursement. ,The representative of the City is responsible for justifying his expenses adequately and fully to the satisfaction of the Chief Accountant within the following limit 1. Transportation - Tourist Class air travel will be utilized by division heads, department heads and other staff and employees fox all long trips. First Class transportation may be utilized only with prior approval of the City Manager, unless Tourist Class seat are not available. Reimbursement for private cars for short trips will be made on a basis of a rate not to exceed .15 er mile, depending upon the policy of the division concerned. When City cars are used for short trips, the City credit card may be ob- tained from the Purchasing Agent. The wives of City officials may accompany their husbands on a short trip when th i v car is used upon approval of the City Manager; however, the City will not pay for the cost of air fare for the wife of a City official to accompany him on longer trips. 14 Indicates revision or addition Attachment II • {continuation page 0_3 2. Meals - Expenses for meals will be reimbursed on an actual basis as certified up to the following limits: $2.25 for breakfast $2,75 for lunch and 3.50 for dinner. For banquets and special meals which exceed these limits, receipts or a written explanation of any higher prices which were necessary must be provided. 3. Lodging - Reimbursements for room expenses shall be based on actual receipts showing the amounts paid. When the room is shared by several individuals, the direct percentage of the room bill shall be reimbursed, i.e., if two individuals share the room, a reimbursement of 50% will accrue to each individual. Lodging for wives may be included upon approval of the City Manager. 4. Registration - Registration reimbursement shall be based upon the actual receipt for the registration payment. Reimbursement may include registration for wives upon approval of the City Manager. 5., Tips - The reimbursement for tips shall be based upon actual - expenditures as certified by the traveler, but will not exceed 10% of the cost of meals plus $.50 per-day. 6.

Personal calls to the traveler's home of minimum time and not in excess of one per day are reimbursable. 7. Car Storage and Parking - Receipts for car storage and parking plus up to $.25 per day as certified by the traveler will be reimbursable. If receipts are not available, parking costs in excess of $.25 must be itemized by City, time and purpose. 8. Car Rental -- Car rental will be authorized only when the travel- er's appointment schedule precludes the use of taxis. When the necessity for car rental is foreseeable, the traveler must obtain a car rental credit card from the Purchasing Agent. The use of the credit card identifies the traveler as on City business and assures elimination of the sales tax and also obtains any business discount offered by the car rental agency. Only the lowest price car available is to be rented. Since adequate insurance coverage is included in the car rental price, the City will not reimburse the traveler for any additional insurance coverage. For unforeseeable car rental, the traveler will rent at the lowest cost available at the location where the car is to be rented. Laundry - Not more than $1.00 per day as certified by the traveler will be allowed for laundry expenses. Reimbursement for laundry will only be provided for trips in excess of five days. Ind tes Attachment II • (continuation page 10.

Insurance - Cost for flight and other travel insurance will be allowed up to §1.00 per trip._ 12. Other expenditures - All other expenses must be itemized and supported by receipts in order to be reimbursed. Travel reports containing such other expenditures will require the approval of the City Hanger or the Assistant City 4Ianager. V. General Policies A. All individuals traveling from'the City should leave word at their office with their supervisors as to where they can be reached while out of the City. B. When vacation or any other type of absence is taken in addition to the travel tine, the exact hours of estimated leave time must be clearly shown on'Standard Form 33. C. For travel over eight hours only plane fare will'be approved. It is the City's policy that planes be used when possible- to eliminate the lost time which is otherwise involved. Lodging will not be approved for automobile trans ootation in excess or one da unless the travel is on the traveler s time and only then for the duration of the conference or meeting being attended. D.- Alternate routes which are desirable because of the personal affairs of the traveler can be used, but only on the traveler's time and witl the traveler bearing the additional cost of the alternate route. E. It is expected that minimum, but sufficient advances, will be drawn by those who are traveling for the City. F. The careful notation of the expenses in writing when they are incurr will be of valuable assistance in preparing the final expense report All requests for advances on approved travel will be submitted to Accounting at least three days prior to departure, except on emergen travel. ' C. Those persons who travel regularly to carry out their duties should complete a reimbursement form once each month for the expenses they have incurred during the previous month. All such travel is budgete in Code 353 and reimbursement should be requested upon Standard Forc H. All expenditures reports must be filed with the Accounting Division within 15 days after the traveler's return. Attachment II • (continuation page I. A written report to the City Manager through the department concerned is required for all travel under Code 352 and final settlement of advances or payment for expenses will not be made until such report is furnished.

A. Goals 1. Nature of problems and needs to be met Prior to the establishment of the Nueces County Organized Crime Control Unit; unlawful activity tied.to organized crime had already begun to proliferate in the area. The proximity of Corpus Christi to the border gave organized crime a convenient location from which to transport stolen vehicles to Mexico and through which to transport narcotics. The development of the-seashore area and the natural growth of the population afforded organized crime figures ex- cellent opportunities to "launder" illegal funds by providing means through which they could invest organized crime money in legitimate business. - As the City of Corpus Christi grew to accommodate this development, the area began to appear as a windfall to the perpetrators of organized crime. The many ways in which organized crime could infiltrate the bloodstream of the comnunity made it difficult for regular law enforcement units to deal effec- tively with the accompanying problems. It was necessary, therefore, that these problems be dealt with by a specially trained, multi- agency unit, one which could accomplish complicated and sophisticated surveillances, thorough investigations, data analyses, and prosecutions which utilized the data. Thus, in November, 1972, the Nueces County *Organized Crime Control Unit was established to investigate and apprehend persons involved in organized crime and to inhibit organized crib activity. Since then, arrests and seizures made as a result of work by the Unit have been documented in reports to the Texas Criminal Justice Council. A study of the period March 1, 1975, through August 31, 1975, reveals that in- vestigations and assists by the Unit resulted in sixty -five arrests for felony offenses and eight arrests for misdemeanors. Thirty -five of the felony arrests were narcotics - related with the remainder tied to theft, forgery, kidnapping, burglary, obstruction'of the mails, aggravated assault, weapons violations, extortion, and robbery. The misdemeanor arrests included those for drug abuse, prostitution, theft, and fraud. All of the persons involved in. these arrests were tied to organized crime activity. Without an Organized Crime Control Unit, these criminals might still be free to operate undetected. During this same period the Unit seized 28 %Z ounces, 8 grams of heroin (valued at over $1,500,000.00); 2 tons, 22% pounds of marijuana; 40 grams of hashish; 2z grams of cocaine; 25,626 pills; $106,750.00 in cash; four automobiles; and two pistols. The Unit also recovered property valued at $69,285.00. One • Q • hundred sixty -five inquiries were processed by the Unit, and information re- garding the inquiries was disseminated to the appropriate law enforcement agencies. The Unit added to its files 1,201 data cards on subjects known to be or suspected of being engaged in organized crime in the area. Forty -six data cards were contributed to the Department of Public Safety Organized Crime Intelligence Division. A continuation of the work of the Unit will ensure that such information will continue to be dispersed. As predicted in the previous grant application, the climate surrounding the failing economy was conducive to the emergence of an abundance of fraudulent business practices. It is expected that still others will attempt to gain a foothold in the area, and, for this reason, it will be necessary to continue efforts of apprehending or inhibiting the practices of persons who exploit the area's citizens through fraudulent activity. Narcotics trafficking remains the major organized crime problem in the area. In the 1974 Report of Organized Crime in Texas, published by the Texas Organ- ized Crime Prevention Council, it was noted that there were at least 25 major drug dealers, 100 drug peddlers, and over 1,000 addicts in the Corpus Christi area. Since those figures were published, additional dealers and peddlers have been identified. It is the aim of the Unit that many of these will be arrested in the coming year. Gambling in the area, which involves hundreds of thousands of dollars taken from the community and placed in the coffers of organized crime, is another important target of the Unit. Availability of Criminal Justice Division funds is essential to continue the work of the Unit during the coming year. Because organized crime activity remains a constant threat to the area, this project is vital to the future of Nueces County. 2. Groups affected or benefited by the project As a direct result of participation by the three agencies of the Nueces County Organized Crime Control Unit, there has been a growing interaction between the -Corpus Christi Police Department, the Nueces County Sheriff's Office, and the District Attorney's Office. This interaction has increased the effectiveness of Unit operations while at the same time increasing the usefulness of each participating agency. Other law enforcement agencies which receive informa- tion or assistance from the Unit will also be benefited. 3. Goals and objectives a. Goals The primary goal of the Nueces County Organized Crime Control Unit is to reduce the incidence of organized crime offenses in Nueces County through investigation and apprehension of persons involved in organized crime ac- tivity or through inhibition of such activity. The Unit will also parti- cipate in the law enforcement intelligence network and will disseminate data to all law enforcement agencies which exhibit a need to know for law enforcement purposes. 4C • b. Quantified objectives In 1974 the Criminal Justice Plan for Texas set forth the proposition that an increase in organized crime arrests might be used as an indi- cator of a corresponding decrease in the incidence of organized crime offenses. To that end the objectives in the previous Nueces County Organized Crime Control Unit grant application relating to arrests were stated in terms of projected percentage increases. The record at the end of the second year project period showed an overall increase in ar- rests of 33.3% over first year project period arrests. This increase represented five times the anticipated results for organized crime ar- rests projected in the annual crime- specific goals in the Criminal Justice Plan. As the third year project period was unfolding and the Unit's work came to have an increasing impact on the organized crime structure, a new pattern relating to arrests began to emerge. While there was usually a direct relationship between the quality of work by the Unit and the quality of arrests and /or seizures, there was also very often an in- verse relationship between the quality of Unit investigations and the quantity of arrests, once the Unit had reached a plateau and was work- ing at its optimum level. It was becoming evident that 1) the more important the arrests and seizures in regard to the impact on the or- ganized crime structure, 2) the greater the infiltration of the Unit into the highest echelons of the organized crime hierarchy, 3) the greater the inhibitory influence of the Unit on organized crime activ- ity, and 4) the more useful to other agencies the Unit's information gathering capability, the less this kind of work could be evaluated accurately in terms of an increasing percentage of arrests. As this knowledge manifested itself, it became incumbent upon the Unit to question the practice of using percentage increases in arrests as criteria for measuring a corresponding decrease in the number of of- fenses occurring. A change in evaluative technique was called for and was reinforced by the suggestion of the Unit's outside evaluator that, in view of the quality and nature of the Unit's work, objectives re- lating to an increase in percentage of arrests were unrealistic and meaningless.* Encouragement for change also came from the Criminal Jus- tice Division Guideline Manual M610, dated August 1, 1974, which cited as desirable the development of new approaches to problems and presen- tation of prototypal models for other units. Thus, having reviewed the questionable validity of past evaluative cri- teria as well as the future goals of the Unit, the Unit in this grant application wishes to propose a quantified objective relating to arrests which is stated in terms of an anticipated number of quality arrests rather than in terms of a projected percentage increase. A commitment to document both the quantity and the quality of arrests will be part of the evaluation design. The objective relating to arrests will then be both explicitly quantitative and implicitly qualitative. It is the hope of this Unit that this new approach to organized crime control measurement will establish a model for other units which are operating *Posey, Lieutenant Wayne. Evaluation, Nueces County Organized Crime Control Unit, September, 1975, page 18. • 4D • at their optimum capability level in terms of numbers of arrests. 1) To effect at least 120 organized crime arrests* and to document type of arrests, number of cases filed, number of indictments returned, number of convictions obtained, number of cases dis- missed, number of cases pending, amount of seizures made, and amount of property recovered 2) To increase data cards on organized crime subjects by at least 500 3) To contribute at least 100 data cards to the Department of Public Safety Organized Crime Intelligence Division 4) To process 100% of the inquiries received from law enforcement personnel for law enforcement purposes c. Non - quantified objectives 1) To analyze the impact of arrests and convictions on the organized crime structure 2) To maintain cooperation among participating law enforcement agen- cies of Nueces County and with other law enforcement personnel 3) To develop new sources of information through contacts made at LEIUA conferences 4) To obtain up -to -date information on organized crime control through attendance at conferences and meetings 5) To review and revise information in Unit files on a continuing basis 6) To discuss at staff meetings information regarding court cases which affect law enforcement procedures and practices in organized crime detection and apprehension B. Methods Information gathered by Unit members from other law enforcement officers, from informants, from surveillances, and from other investigations will be collected, reported, analyzed, and collated. The finished intelligence product will be turned over to the appropriate enforcement unit or agency for action. This in- formation will also be placed in the Unit's files, kept current, and released to law enforcement personnel on a need -to -know basis. Inquiries will be processed *Organized crime arrests in this grant application mean arrests for any offenses in which members of organized criminal groups are involved. Although these offenses will often be those cited in the 1975 Criminal Justice Plan for Texas, pp. 17 -18, such as gambling, illegal drug traffic, prostitution, pornography, loansharking, automobile theft, and white collar crime, they may also include any other offenses which are perpetrated by persons known to have ties with organized criminal groups. as they are received. Significant information will be sent to the Department of Public Safety Organized Crime Intelligence Division. Under the direction of the Project Director, the Coordinator of the Unit will supervise the time- table for achieving the objectives. The investigators will gather and report intelligence information. The Analyst will analyze and collate intelligence information and the Secretary will type and file the information, take and transcribe dictation, and prepare data cards on organized criminals. C.

Significance This project offers an experiment which seeks to test whether a coordinated effort by specially - trained members of three law enforcement agencies work- ing together as a Unit can have an impact on the problem of organized crime. It also seeks to test whether a program inaugurated with adequate financial assistance from state and federal sources can perpetuate and justify itself after the funding period. Hopefully, the success of the Unit in reducing the incidence of organized crime activity will persuade local government to fund the Unit after the total grant period has ended. 3. Dissemination Results obtained by the Unit will be presented in reports to the Texas Crim- inal Justice Division and to the Organized Crime Control Council. Lessons and findings of particular significance will be shared with other law en- forcement agency personnel at conferences and meetings. E. Evaluation 1. Means of presenting evaluation a.
