WHEREAS, 1988 Laws of Minnesota C. 665 provides for seizure and
forfeiture of property used in commission of crime and proceeds of crime and
contraband; and
WHEREAS, said laws require that said property kept under said laws may
be used only in the performance of official duties of the appropriate agency
and may not be used for any other purpose; and
WHEREAS, proceeds from the sale of the property kept under these laws
must be disbursed as follows:
20% to the county attorney or other prosecuting agency that handled the
forfeiture,
10% to the state treasury; and
WHEREAS, from time to time, the City will come into possession of such
forfeited funds.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Brooklyn Center to authorize the Director of Finance to appropriate said proceeds
to the Police Department Budget, as they are received, to be used for police
training. However, in the event that said proceeds exceed five thousand dollars
in any calendar year, said excess will be reported to the City Council for its
appropriation.
