Title

Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute the FY 2025 "Equitable Sharing Agreement and Certification" confirming the City's receipt and expenditure of federal asset awards and agreeing to continue to participate in the receipt of federal forfeiture awards.

 

Body

This items seeks approval to submit an annual report to and agreement with the federal government that (a) certifies our receipt and use of asset forfeiture funds awarded through federal court processes and (b) provides an affidavit and agreement that allows the City to continue to receive federal awards from asset forfeiture proceedings. Asset forfeiture is a process wherein assets used in the commission of crime are seized with the intent of depriving criminals of the proceeds of their crimes. Federal judges determine whether the assets seized are returned to the subjects of investigation or are awarded to the agencies that participated in the cases that resulted in the seizure.
