City of Tukwila <br />Allan Ekberg, Mayor <br />INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Public Safety Committee <br />FROM: Peggy McCarthy, Finance Director <br />BY: Vicky Carlsen, Deputy Finance Director <br />CC: Mayor Ekberg <br />DATE: September 26, 2018 <br />SUBJECT: Drug Seizure Fund 2019-2020 Proposed Budget <br />ISSUE <br />As provided for in the budget process approved by the Public Safety Committee, Council <br />Committees will be reviewing budget sections prior to review by the full Council. The Drug Seizure <br />fund section of the budget is ready for review by the Finance Committee. <br />BACKGROUND <br />The Drug Seizure fund was established to account for the yearly accumulation of drug seizure <br />funds and related expenditures. <br />DISCUSSION <br />Estimated seizure funds for the 2019-2020 biennium are expected to be around $60 thousand a <br />year. However, these amounts will vary based on drug related criminal activity and actual funds <br />seized. The large amount projected for 2016 is from the hotel seizures that occurred in 2013. <br />Expenditures in this fund must be related to drug seizure activities or equipment. Appropriate <br />costs could include training and equipment utilized during drug related investigations. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends that the Public Safety Committee forward this section of the budget on to the <br />Committee of the Whole for review. If there are no recommended changes, Council consensus <br />will be requested to move this budget forward to the final budget package in November. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />Drug Seizure Fund 2019-2020 Proposed Budget <br />171 <br />
