SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is a new Federal Government agency
charged with security of all airports within the United States. The TSA will be hiring and
placing federal law enforcement agents at all U.S. airports with commercial flight operations,
including the Yakima Air Terminal.
Because this is a new agency, the TSA lacks the federal agents to accomplish this task at this
time. Until such time as the TSA has federal agents in place, they are requiring local law
enforcement agencies to staff all airport security checkpoints as of May 1, 2002. The National
Guard will be relieved of airport duty at that time. The TSA believes it may be as long as
December 1, 2003 before they have sufficient personnel to staff all airports.
The Chief of the Yakima Police Department will enter into an agreement with the TSA to staff
the security checkpoint at the Yakima Air Terminal in return for reimbursement of direct
Police personnel costs associated with this staffing. Due to personnel limitation the Yakima
Police Department will use officers on overtime status and will be assisted by Deputies of the
Yakima County Sheriff's Office. Cost of this reimbursement is estimated to be as much as
$526,890 by the end of 2003. The attached appropriation increases the 2002 Patrol overtime
budget and the General Fund revenue budget by $190,000 to support this additional duty.
Staff is requesting the City Council to direct the Chief of Police enter into this agreement with
the TSA and approve the overtime appropriation.
