Russo, City Manager <br /> FROM: Fred A. Maas, Police Chief <br /> Michael A. Grandinetti, Police Captain <br /> DATE: 11/17/2016 <br /> RE: <br /> Approval to Expend Partial Forfeiture Funds (DOJ) in an <br /> amount not to exceed $67,526.81 <br /> RECOMMENDATION: <br /> It is recommended that the City Commission approve the expenditure <br /> of partial Federal (DOJ) Forfeiture Funds, previously awarded to the <br /> Police Department as the results of investigative participation in <br /> forfeiture and seizure cases. These funds are permissible by law to be <br /> spent for the purchases of police equipment and other law enforcement <br /> activities. It is requested that we be permitted to utilize up to <br /> $67,526.81 of said funds on deposit for such purpose. <br /> REASONS: <br /> The partial expenditure of the Forfeiture Funds (DOJ) is for the <br /> purchase of a new Police Dispatch Console, media storage cabinets <br /> and furniture for the police communications center, one (1) Police K-9 <br /> (Dog) and all necessary K9 training, one (1) additional security CCTV <br /> camera installed on the pier in an amount not to exceed $67,526.81. <br /> The Police Communications Unit is a 24/7 operation and is currently <br /> working on the original furniture installed in 2005 and is need of an <br /> upgrade. Also, as we expand our police K9 unit, it was necessary to <br /> purchase an additional dog (K9) as well as all the necessary training <br /> and equipment to complement the dog recently donated by the Miami- <br /> 285 <br />
