Maas, Chief of Police <br /> <br />DATE: December 14,2006 <br /> <br />RE: <br /> <br />L.E.T.F. Forfeiture Expenditures & Certification <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br /> <br />It is recommended that the City Commission approve the expenditure of partial forfeiture funds, <br />previously awarded to the Police Department as the results of investigative participation in forfeiture <br />and seizure cases. These funds are permissible by law to be spent for purchases of police equipment <br />and other law enforcement activities. It is requested that we be permitted to utilize $47,000.00 of <br />said funds on deposit for such purpose. <br /> <br />REASONS: <br /> <br />One of the benefits of participating in and providing personnel into high intensity narcotics <br />investigations is the sharing of confiscated proceeds for the enhancement of law enforcement. All of <br />the attached and listed items are authorized expenditures and are designed towards charitable and <br />crime prevention programs, enhancement of law enforcement equipment as well as legal costs <br />associated with the asset forfeiture process. <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 participates <br />in and contributes to crime prevention programs as well as the enhancement of our equipment. <br /> <br />To be completed bv Department Head To be completed by City Clerk's Oflice <br />Funding available: Apprm'al: Agenda Item No.: <br />Finance Department City Manager <br /> Commission Meeting Date: <br /> <br />Cover Memo ForfeIture Letf <br />
