AGENDA ITEM: Forfeiture Funds
DATE: October 13, 2011
SUBMITTED BY: Michael D. Classey, h of of Police
BACKGROUND:
Forfeiture funds are money or other valuables seized by the Police Department, generally from drug
cases. Florida State Statute (F.S.S.) 932.7055 (5) (a) and (b) governs the requirements for expending
those funds and requires approval from the governing body. Specifically, it states that the proceeds
may not be used to meet normal operating expenses of the agency. A few of the permissible uses
would be training, memberships and providing additional equipment. The current annual budget for
this account is $8,000
The police department has provided gym memberships for the sworn police officers for many years.
The annual cost of this will not exceed $2,000. There has been no General Fund money allocated for
this expense for some years.
I do certify that these requests comply with the provisions of FSS 932.7055 (5) (b).
BUDGET: Not to exceed $2,000
RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends that up to $2,000 be approved for police officer gym
memberships.
