RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE Appropriation Adjustment No.5049 authorizing the transfer of appropriations in the total amount of $149,200 from the Sheriff Narcotic Forfeiture Fund (0252) to Fleet Services (0063) $80,000 and Sheriff's Office (0255) $69,200 for the purchase of five Harley-Davidson motorcycles and related equipment.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action increases revenues and expenditures by $149,200 with no change to net County cost. The new revenue is from the Sheriff Narcotic Forfeiture Fund (0252).

BACKGROUND:

The Sheriff's Investigation Unit is in need of additional and replacement equipment. Over time and with growth of the Division, there is a shortage of available equipment, and/or existing equipment has reached the end of its useful life. Additionally, the requested equipment is required to enhance safety and maintain consistency within the Division and the Department. Asset Forfeiture Funds are equitably shared funds which can be used by law enforcement agencies for law enforcement purposes. This includes the costs associated with the purchase, lease, maintenance or operation of law enforcement equipment for use by law enforcement personnel that supports law enforcement activities.

The Harley-Davidson motorcycle brand was selected since it provides the performance, reliability and value needed from the manufacturer of police motorcycles.
