DATE: November 15, 2001
SUBJECT: City Council Meeting — November 20, 2001
ITEM: *12.B.1. Consider an ordinance approving and adopting a budget for
the Law Enforcement Fund for the 2001-2002 fiscal year.
(Second Reading) This $158,684 budget is for revenues
generated by asset forfeitures shared with state and federal law
enforcement agencies.
Resource: Paul Conner, Chief of Police
Rick White
History: The asset forfeiture program was created by the federal government and later
adopted by individual states as a tool to combat the benefactors of crime by
seizing the proceeds and tools of their criminal enterprises. 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 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 item.
The $158,684 in budgeted revenues would be used to fund the City's
commitment to a countywide training facility, equipment, and computers.
Funding:
Cost: $0.00
Source: Assets forfeited through the commission of state or federal felonies
Outside Resources: N/A
Impact: This budget will allow the City to collect its share of seized assets and use
those funds for law enforcement purposes.
Benefit: Participation in these asset forfeiture programs provides the Police
Department with additional funds beyond general fund revenues, which it may
use for law enforcement purposes.
