John Szerlag, City Manager <br /> <br />Fred A. Maas, Chief of Police <br />Michael A. Grandinetti, Police Captain <br /> <br />April 17,2008 <br /> <br />Approval to Expend Partial Forfeiture (DOJ) Funds for the Implementation of <br />Phase II, Technology Disaster Recovery Plan (Police Dept.) <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br /> <br />It is recommended that the City Commission approve the expenditure of partial Federal (DOJ) <br />Forfeiture Funds, previously awarded to the Police Department as the results of investigative <br />participation in 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 $75,000.00 of said funds on deposit for such purpose. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND: <br /> <br />The l.T. Department has developed a multi-phase disaster recovery plan for the City's current <br />infrastructure. Phase II of this plan will develop and prepare the Police Departments infrastructure for <br />compatibility with the City's overall Disaster Recovery Plan to provide for virtualization and off-site <br />data storage. <br /> <br />ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: <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 below listed items are authorized expenditures and are designed towards charitable and crime <br />prevention programs, enhancement of law enforcement equipment as well as legal costs associated <br />with the asset forfeiture process. <br /> <br />The project will begin the second week in May 2008 and will be completed by August 2008. <br /> <br /> <br />Funding available: <br /> <br />Approv <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />106 <br />~-/7-0~ <br /> <br />Agenda Item No.: <br /> <br />Commission Meeting Date: <br />
