MEMORANDUM
TO:
Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council
THROUGH:
Paul Ostrander, City Manager
FROM:
David Ross — Police Chief
DATE:
June 10, 2019
SUBJECT:
Resolution No. 2019-40 — Resolution authorizing a budget transfer in
the General Fund.
The Kenai Police Department received $26,605.40 in asset forfeiture sharing funds from the State
of Alaska Department of Public Safety. Those funds were appropriated to the Police Small Tools
account under Ordinance 3067-2019. One of the purchases to be made with those funds is a
Cellebrite system for performing forensic device data extraction and examination, and that PO
was approved in the "Purchase Orders Exceeding $15,000" approvals at the June 5 Council
Meeting.
This resolution corrects my error in requesting those funds be appropriated into the Police Small
Tools Account rather than the Police Machinery and Equipment Account, based on the price of
the purchase.
I am respectfully requesting consideration of the resolution authorizing the funds transfer.
