Item No. 10 ® 5 0
Date: 1-11-2010
Item/Subject: Resolve, Appropriating $15,000 from the Federal Seizure Agency
Account to Purchase a Vehicle
Responsible Department: Police
Commentary:
In recent months, the Police Department has lost the use of three vehicles within the Criminal
Division. Two of the vehicles did not pass State inspection and were unable to be repaired to
safe condition and the third was totaled by a drunk driver. The attached resolve would
appropriate $15,000 from the Federal Seizure Agency Account to provide the necessary funding
to purchase a quality used vehicle for use by the Criminal Division.
Federal seizure funds are received by local agencies that are involved with certain federal
agencies that result in the forfeiture of assets, the most common source of forfeitures are a
result of Drug Enforcement Agency investigations. The purchase of a vehicle for law
enforcement purposes is an allowable use of federal forfeiture funds.
