Explanation

BACKGROUND: An additional appropriation of $410,000.00 is needed from the unappropriated balance of the Federal and State Law Enforcement Contraband/Seizure Funds for the Division of Police. Funds were received from seized and forfeited property and must be used solely for law enforcement purposes as specified in Ordinance 1850-85. These funds are needed to purchase covert vehicles; (2) trucks and one cargo van. Funds are also needed to cover the cost of some of the Division's travel and training needs.

CONTRACT COMPLIANCE NUMBER: N/A

EMERGENCY DESIGNATION: Emergency legislation is requested in order to process purchase orders to obtain a cargo van and a truck from an existing universal term contract. Need to issue purchase order so vehicles can be ordered before any manufacturer shut off dates.

FISCAL IMPACT: Since these funds to be appropriated are from the Law Enforcement Contraband Seizure Funds, there will be no effect on the financial status of the General Fund.

Title
