Title
Establish 2019 Budget Authority Federal Asset Forfeiture Fund, 18024-259.
Body
Recommended Action: Establish 2019 Budget Authority Federal Asset Forfeiture Fund, 18024-259.
The Asset Forfeiture Fund (Federal) is established by law under an equitable sharing agreement with federal law enforcement agencies such as Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). A portion of the proceeds derived as a result of property seized and forfeited via this agreement is allocated to the prosecutor's office and may be used for legitimate law enforcement and prosecutorial purposes, including training, equipment and educational purposes.
Statutorily it is not allowable to anticipate future revenue and therefore budget authority was not established for this fund (18024-259) during the normal 2019 budget processes. The District Attorney's Office is requesting budget authority to meet current and pending expenditure needs anticipated throughout the remainder of the year.
