SUBJECT: Request ordinance appropriating drug seizure funds
In November 2011, the Alaska State Troopers, Alaska Bureau of Alcohol and Drug
Enforcement (ABADE) made Equitable Sharing payments in the amount of $618.50 to
the Kenai Police Department. These funds were seized pursuant to 2008 and 2010 drug
investigations. The checks for $560.50 and $58.00 were provided to City Finance.
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 Account, to help pay for law enforcement equipment, to include investigative
equipment.
