ITEM:
12.A.1. Consider an ordinance approving and adopting a budget for the Law
Enforcement Fund for the 2000-2001 fiscal year. (Second Reading)
This $14,000 budget is for revenues generated by asset forfeitures by
shared with the City of Round Rock by state and federal law
enforcement agencies. These funds will be used for computer
equipment. The first reading of the ordinance was approved on
November 21, 2000.
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 the 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 sale of seized
property after the first $5,000. This is a routine, annual budget item. The
$14,000 in budgeted revenues would be used to purchase computer equipment.
Funding:
Cost: $0.00
Source: Assets forfeited through the commission of state or federal felonies This is a
routine, annual budget item. The $14,000 in budgeted revenues would be
used to purchase computer equipment.
Outside Resources: N/A
Impact: The 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 Round Rock Police
Department with additional funds beyond general fund revenues that it may use
for law enforcement purposes.
