MEMO:
TO: Rick Koch — City Manager
FROM: Gus Sandahl — Police Chief
DATE: 3/30/15
SUBJECT: Request ordinance appropriating asset forfeiture funds.
In March of 2015, the Alaska State Troopers, Alaska Bureau of Alcohol and Drug
Enforcement (ABADE) provided the Kenai Police Department with $1,585 in asset
forfeiture equitable sharing funds. These funds were related to asset forfeitures from a
drug - related criminal investigation.
Per the U.S. Department of Justice Equitable Sharing Guide, equitable sharing funds
used by law enforcement shall be used for law enforcement purposes only. Permissible
uses of the funds include, but are not limited to, law enforcement investigations, training,
and equipment. We are permitted to purchase equipment which is used by law
enforcement personnel that supports law enforcement activities.
I am requesting an ordinance to appropriate these funds to the General Fund, Police -
Small Tools to help pay for police equipment.
