Title Legal Office Expenses from Law Enforcement Contraband Forfeiture Trust Fund Explanation The requested funding is needed to cover the Gainesville Police Department Legal Office expenses related to case filing fees, research, publication requirements and storage fees on the seized property. The Public Safety Committee approved this request at the meeting of September 24, 1998. Fiscal Note The $8,500 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 federal Law Enforcement Contraband Forfeiture Trust Fund account. This funding meets the requirements as an allowable expenditure under the Federal guidelines from this fund. Recommendation The City Commission authorize the Gainesville Police Department to appropriate $8,500 from the federal forfeiture fund balance account (108-2710) into line item 108-810-8112-5210-3910.
