0001-3310-0001-D375-006800                       $0.00

 

Further resolved, That upon transfer of these funds, the City Comptroller is authorized at the request of the Police Department, without further action, to transfer funds between account 0001-3310-0001-D375-0063000 and account 0001-3310-0001-D375-006800 in order to facilitate for proper accounting of all Federal Asset Forfeiture purchases as detailed above.
