Hines, City Clerk <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />The Honorable Mayor and City Commission <br /> <br />A. John Szerlag, City Manager <br /> <br />Michael A. Grandinetti, Police Captain <br /> <br />May 18, 2006 <br /> <br />Approval to Expend Federal Forfeiture Funds in the amount of $738,241.20 <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br /> <br />It is recommended that the City Commission approve the expenditure of partial federal forfeiture <br />funds, previously awarded to the Police Department as the results of investigative participation in <br />federal forfeiture and seizure cases. These funds are permissible by law to be spent for the <br />purchases of police equipment and other law enforcement activities. It is requested that we be <br />permitted to utilize Seven Hundred Thirty-Eight Thousand Two Hundred Forty-One Dollars and <br />Twenty Cents ($738,241.20) of said funds on deposit for such purpose. <br /> <br />REASONS: <br /> <br />The Sunny Isles Beach Police Department is in need of an automated Computer Aided Dispatch <br />(CAD), Records Management (RMS) and a Mobile Data System, in order to serve the <br />emergency needs of the community more effectively. An automated System can also assist in <br />providing greater efficiency and speed in responding to calls for service, as well as minimizing <br />data handling and increasing officer productivity. It provides up-to-date information for <br />management control, which is critical in emergency situation, through the retrieval of data from <br />local, state, and national databases. <br /> <br />ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: <br /> <br />To date, the City of Sunny Isles Beach Police Department has been awarded additional monies in <br />confiscated funds. Certain needs exist on behalf of the department whereby the agency <br />participates in and contributes to crime prevention programs as well as the enhancement of our <br />equipment. <br /> <br />Agenda Item <br /> <br />051806 Federal Forfeiture Funds Agenda Memo <br /> <br />Date <br />
