Russo, City Manager <br />Fred A. Maas, Chief of Police <br />Michael A. Grandinetti, Police Captain <br />DATE: 11/21/2013 <br />RE: Approval to Expend Partial Forfeiture (DOJ) Funds to cover costs <br />of a change order for the upgrade of two Automatic License Plate <br />® <br />Reader Cameras and for the purchase of miscellaneous <br />technology equipment, in an amount not to exceed $25,000.00 <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />It is recommended that the City Commission approve the expenditure of partial <br />Federal (DOJ) Forfeiture Funds, previously awarded to the Police Department as <br />the results of investigative participation in forfeiture and seizure cases. These <br />funds are permissible by law to be spent for the purchases of police equipment <br />and other law enforcement activities. It is requested that we be permitted to <br />utilize up to $25,000.00 of said funds on deposit for such purpose. <br />REASONS: <br />The Sunny Isles Beach Police Department actively participates in DEA / FBI / <br />HIDTA (High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area) Initiative Group that conducts <br />numerous ongoing proactive investigations and has a need for the attached <br />listed equipment. These Items would be used to equip our internal Detective <br />Bureau as well as our Detached HIDTA Groups with some necessary equipment. <br />ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: <br />® One of the benefits of participating in and providing personnel into high intensity <br />narcotics investigations is the sharing of confiscated proceeds for the <br />Agenda Item No.10F <br />Date 11/2112013 <br />141 <br />
