MEMORANDUM
February 1, 1990
TO: Curtis E. Hawk, City Manager
FROM: Billy Campbell, Chief of Police /36/ /1-L- /21
SUBJECT: District Attorney's Forfeiture Contract
Enclosed is a contract from the District Attorney's Office concerning
seizures and forfeitures. This is a standard contract which entitles
the police department to a percentage of all monies and items that are
seized and subsequently forfeited in the Southlake Police Department's
activities.
New state legislation states that if we do not have a contract
with our District Attorney's Office, those monies and items in their
entirety will be awarded to the state. We have several forfeiture
cases pending. Therefore, I recommend that we enter into this agreement
with the District Attorney's Office, as it is the only game in town,
less we give the state everything.
