Title

Legal Office Expenses from State Law Enforcement Contraband Forfeiture Trust Fund (NB)

Explanation

The requested funding is needed to cover annual GPD Legal Office expenses related to case filing fees, research, publication requirements and storage fees on the seized property.

Fiscal Note

The $7,000 expenses are necessary in the processing of forfeiture cases.  If this request is not paid from the Law Enforcement Contraband Forfeiture Trust Fund, they would need to come from the general fund. Funds are currently available in the State Law Enforcement Contraband Forfeiture Trust Fund, as allowable under FSS 932.27055(4)(a).  The balance in the State Law Enforcement Contraband Forfeiture Trust Fund is $30,025.01.

Recommendation

The City Commission authorize the Gainesville Police Department to appropriate $7,000 from the State Forfeiture Fund balance account (108-2719) into line item 108-810-8112-5210-3910.
