INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM 245
TO Honorable Mayor and Members DATE : AUG 2 5 1994 FILE
of the City Commission
SU&JECT : Proposed Emergency Ordinance
Amending Ordinance No. 10021
Law Enforcement Trust Fund
FROM Cesa O REFERENCES:
*ENCLOSURES:
RECOMMENDATION:
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the
attached emergency ordinance, as amended, increasing the
appropriations for the Law Enforcement Trust Fund by $1,434,236
as a result of additional monies deposited into said fund due to
successful forfeiture actions.
BACKGROUND:
Ordinance No. 11147, amended Ordinance No. 10021, and established
resources and appropriations for the "Law Enforcement Trust
Fund", in the amount of $13,702,923. Successful forfeiture
litigation has resulted in an additional $1,434,236 being
available for deposit in the Law Enforcement Trust Fund.
The request for the appropriation of these monies is required to
fund previously approved programs and also to prepare for
expenditures the Police Department anticipates making in the near
future. All expenditures have been, or will be, brought before
the Commission for approval, by resolution, upon affidavit of the
Chief of Police that they are legitimate Law Enforcement Trust
Fund expenditures.
This ordinance is being presented on an emergency basis in order
to insure that funds are available for the payment of expenses on
projects now being considered for Commission approval, or which
will be brought before the Commission in the near future. If
funding is delayed several of these programs will be unable to
operate.
