History: This fund was established for the asset forfeiture program created by the
federal government and later adopted by individual states. It is a tool to
seize assets obtained as a result of criminal activity. This program targets
property, monies, and holdings gained through the commission of state or
federal felonies or used in the commission of those felonies. The City
participates in sharing programs with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency,
the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the U.S. Treasury Department.
Through these programs, the City receives all vehicles, and 80 percent of all
the cash and proceeds from property sales -which are shared equally with
other local agencies involved in the seizure. The state program is based on
a written agreement with the District Attorney's office; as a result of this
agreement, the City receives (a) all seized vehicles valued at $1,000 or
more, (b) 50 percent of cash after the first $500, and (c) 50 percent of
proceeds from the sale of seized property after the first $5,000. This is a
routine, annual budget.
