MEMO:
TO: Rick Koch — City Manager
FROM: Gus Sandahl — Police Chief
DATE: 3/24114
SUBJECT: Request ordinance appropriating asset forfeiture funds.
In March of 2014, the Alaska State Troopers, Alaska Bureau of Investigation — Statewide
Drug Enforcement Unit provided the Kenai Police Department with a $4,693.06 asset
forfeiture check. These funds were related to asset forfeitures from a criminal
investigation.
Because the funds were received through the Department of Justice federal asset
sharing process, the funds law 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.
