RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Commission approve the expenditure
of partial Federal (DOJ) Forfeiture Funds, previously awarded to the
Police Department as the results of investigative participation in
forfeiture and seizure cases. These funds are permissible by law to be
spent for the purchases of police equipment and other law enforcement
activities. It is requested that we be permitted to utilize up to
$210,057.98 of said funds on deposit for such purpose.
REASONS:
As domestic attacks become more increasing, law enforcement
throughout the United States is becoming better trained and equipped.
With the purchase of the ballistic hardware and addition of two (2) K9
Teams, we will be better prepared to safely respond to critical incidents.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
One of the benefits of participating in and providing personnel into high
intensity narcotics investigations is the sharing of confiscated proceeds

authorized expenditures and are designated for: enhancement of law
enforcement equipment, charitable and crime prevention programs, as
