AGENDA ITEM 1D <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR David J. Pecchia, Public Safety <br />Director /Chief of Police <br />February 27, 2006 <br />Expenditure of Drug Forfeiture Funds <br />3/5 <br />DATE <br />TOPIC <br />VOTES REQUIRED: <br />BACKGROUND <br />We have had a long term relationship with the Forest Lake <br />Area Youth Service Bureau who has provided Diversionary <br />Services to the residents of Lino Lakes. The FLYSB funding <br />was eliminated from the 2006 budget. This action will <br />result in a substantial increase in user fees if we revert <br />to a "non- supporting community" status from our current <br />"supporting community" status. (See attachment listing <br />program fees). <br />The Forest Lake Area Youth Service Bureau program is <br />instrumental in our ability to divert juveniles in our <br />community from the Criminal Justice System. <br />We request that the City Council approve our request to <br />utilize the Drug Forfeiture fund in the amount of $5,000 to <br />re- establish our standing as a "supporting community ". <br />We further request an expenditure of an additional $1,500- <br />$2,000 on updated exercise equipment and accessories for the <br />Wellness Room. <br />OPTIONS <br />1. Approve. <br />2. Return to staff for further information. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Option No. 1 <br />
