[Fund #166]
Issue: New revenue receipts received as a result of previous seizures conducted between the Constable Pct. 1 and Federal Law Enforcement agency(s). These amounts have now been forfeited and awarded to the collaborating agencies for official use.
Solution: Appropriate new revenues and expenditures not currently budgeted for FY 2017.
Result: Utilize new revenues for law enforcement purposes and in accordance with Equitable sharing guidelines. All forfeiture budgets should be used only as a supplement source and not to supplant current budgets approved through the General fund or other non-forfeiture sources.
