Title

Substitute resolution authorizing the acceptance and expenditure of contributions received by the Milwaukee Police Department from federally forfeited tangible property or cash for increased or enhanced law enforcement efforts.

Analysis

This resolution authorizes up to $155,000 to fund items in accordance with the guidelines of the Asset Forfeiture Sharing Program, specifically to fund parking lot improvements at the Neighborhood Task Force and Radio Shop compound to improve police operations.  This is in addition to Asset Forfeiture expenditures approved for 2009 in Common Council Resolution 081167 adopted February 10, 2009 and Resolution 090250 adopted July 7, 2009.

Body

Whereas, The Federal government has established specific guidelines for expending funds received as a result of the Asset Forfeiture Fund Program; and

Whereas, The Police Department currently has funds held in trust (Account No. 0678-2110-987600) to increase or enhance law enforcement efforts in the City of Milwaukee; now, therefore, be it

Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the City Comptroller is authorized to transfer up to $155,000 from the Police Department’s Federal Forfeiture Trust Fund (Account Number 0678-2110-662201), to the contribution/revenue account entitled Federal Forfeiture Contribution Revenue (Account Number 0001-3311-985012); and, be it

Further Resolved, That upon transfer of these funds, the City Comptroller is authorized and directed to transfer $155,000 from the Federal Forfeiture Revenue Contribution Account to the Police Department’s budget as follows:

0001-3311-0001-D362-006300 $155,000; and, be it

Further Resolved, That all funds are to be expended to enhance law enforcement efforts in the City of Milwaukee, specifically, driveway and parking lot expansion to accommodate operations of the Neighborhood Task Force and Radio Shop at 4715 W. Vliet St.; and, be it

Further Resolved, That the Milwaukee Police Department is hereby authorized to expend such funds and that a detailed reporting of the expenditure of the funds for this purpose will be required in the Police Department’s annual report to the Common Council, due by February 1, in accordance with Common Council Resolution Number 920252 adopted Jun 16, 1992.
