MEMORANDUM
TO:
The Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM:
Fred A. Maas, Chief of Police
DATE:
9/17/2009
RE:
Approval to Expend Partial Forfeiture (DOJ) Funds for the
purchase of and supplemental funding of police vehicles and
staffing resources, in an amount not to exceed $510,000.00
RECOMMENDA TION:
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,
staffing resources and other law enforcement activities. It is requested that we be
permitted to utilize up to $510,000.00 of said funds on deposit for such purpose.
REASONS:
The Sunny Isles Beach Police Department actively participates in an FBI / HIDTA
(High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area) Initiative Group that conducts numerous
ongoing proactive investigations and has a need for the attached listed
equipment.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
One of the benefits of participating in and providing personnel into high intensity
narcotics investigations is the sharing of confiscated proceeds for the
enhancement of law enforcement.
Whereas the Police Department is facing budget cuts of up to 17% for the
upcoming fiscal year 09/10, these cuts will place a serious impact on our staffing,
assignments and equipment. As a result of these budget cuts, it is estimated that
the police department will have to decrease our staffing levels from forty-eight
(48) sworn officers to forty-five (45) sworn officers, thus causing us to reassign

our current under cover detectives (2) and our School Resource Officer (1) back
to the patrol division. These reassignments will cause a tremendous void in the
areas of school security and valuable criminal intelligence gathering and
enforcement.
In addition to staffing cuts, the police department will also be forced to cut most
new vehicle purchases as well as vehicle rental agreements (Detective Bureau)
for FY09/10.
In order to assure adequate staffing levels and reliable equipment, it is requested
that we be permitted to utilize up to $ 510,000.00 of said funds on deposit for the
below listed purpose.
All of the below listed items are authorized expenditures and are designed
towards drug interdiction, community safety programs, crime prevention
programs, staffing resources and the enhancement of law enforcement
equipment as well as legal costs associated with the asset forfeiture process.
