SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3017-2018 - Ordinance accepting and appropriating
forfeiture funds from drug investigations for police equipment
The City of Kenai currently holds $4,709.63 in investigative seizure money that has been forfeited
to the Department. Kenai Court orders were issued, that ordered the forfeiture of funds including
$4,709.63 to the Kenai Police Department. The forfeiture is the result of drug investigations in
which the Kenai Police Department was the investigating agency. The funds are designated to
be used in the furtherance of the administration of justice.
I am respectfully requesting an ordinance appropriating $4,709.63 into the General Fund, Police -
Small Tools account to help pay for police equipment.
