Title
Establish 2015 Budget Authority in the amount of $270,263.45 in the Prosecuting Attorney Trust Fund.
Body
Recommended Action: Establish budget authority in the amount of $270,263.45 in fund center 18014-259.
The Prosecuting Attorney Trust Fund is established by law under the Kansas Asset Seizure and Forfeiture Act, Chapter 50, Article 41, et seq. A portion of this act expressly provides law enforcement and prosecutors with a portion of the funds derived as a result of property seized and forfeited via this act. The funds may be used for legitimate law enforcement and prosecutorial purposes, including for training, equipment and educational purposes.
Statutorily, it is not allowable to anticipate future revenue. As a result, budget authority was not established for this fund (18014-259) during the regular 2015 budget process. The District Attorney's Office is requesting budget authority to meet current and pending expenditure needs anticipated throughout the remainder of the year.
