<br /> <br />SUNNY ISLES BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />To: <br /> <br />The Commission, City Manager, and Mayor Date: <br />of Sunny Isles Beach <br /> <br />September 14, 2000 <br /> <br />From: Fred Maas, Chief of Police <br /> <br /> <br />Subject: Forfeiture Expenditures <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />It is recommended that the City Commission approve the expenditure of partial <br />forfeiture funds, previously awarded to the Police Department as the result of <br />investigative participation in forfeiture and seizure cases. These funds are permissible <br />by law to be spent for purchases of police equipment and other law enforcement <br />activities. It is requested that we be permitted to utilize $159,675.00 of said funds on <br />deposit for such purposes. <br /> <br />Reasons: <br /> <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 enhancement of <br />law enforcement agencies including new or additional equipment. This is designated so <br />as not to impact so greatly upon the financial concerns and budget of the city. All of the <br />attached and listed items are necessary for the performance of officer's duties and the <br />benefits derived by the residents of the City of Sunny Isles Beach. <br /> <br />Additional Information: <br /> <br />To date the City of Sunny Isles Beach Police Department has been awarded additional <br />monies in confiscated funds. Certain needs exist on behalf of the department whereby <br />the purchase of suggested equipment will accomplish those needs. Such items and <br />equipment are attached for your review. <br /> <br />Certification: <br /> <br />I, Fred A. Maas, certify that pursuant to Florida State Statute 932.0755 section (4) (a) <br />and (4) (b), the attached listed items meet the guidelines of purchase for law <br />enforcement purposes which include defraying the costs of protracted or complex <br />investigation, and providing additional equipment. <br /> <br />C:\My Documents\Agenda Items\Forfeiture Expenditure Request and Certification. doc <br />
