11. FINES, FORFEITURES, REVENUES: PAYMENT
11
a. All law enforcement education funds levied and collected by the Clerk of the Court and
earmarked for and forwarded to the CITY pursuant to Florida Statutes, Section 943.25, shall
be assigned over to the BSO and used by the District for the law enforcement education
purposes authorized in the statute. Apart from such funds and except for the provisions set
forth in subsection I I (k) of these General Terms and Conditions, Grant Funds and
Miscellaneous Revenues, BSO shall have no claim or right to any other monies or things of
value that the CITY receives or may hereinafter receive by way of entitlement programs,
grants or otherwise in connection with law enforcement activities.
b. The CITY and BSO do hereby acknowledge, one to the other, that nothing contained herein
shall in anyway be construed to impair the CITY's right to the disposition of fines and
forfeitures to which the CITY would be entitled, pursuant to Florida Statutes, Section
316.660 as may be amended from time to time, or as to proceeds and forfeitures arising under
the sale or disposition of unclaimed property or under any statutory or common law
proceeding to which the CITY would otherwise be entitled, except as limited herein.
c. The CITY and BSO agree that BSO shall be responsible for determining whether asset
forfeiture proceedings for property seized through the active participation of District
personnel shall be initiated, except as otherwise indicated herein. Any state law forfeiture
actions filed under Chapter 932, Florida Statutes, for property seized within the CITY
through active participation of District personnel shall be initiated and managed by BSO,

upon the best interests of the CITY and BSO. Asset forfeitures seized utilizing Federal law
will be managed pursuant to Federal Regulations. Awarded Federal forfeiture funds
allocated for the City's share shall be deposited into the BSO's Federal Law Enforcement
Trust Fund (hereinafter referred to as the "Funds"). Such funds will be earmarked for BSO's

pursuant to Chapter 932 of the Florida Statutes, and subsequently forfeited solely to BSO,

any costs as described in paragraph 11 (h) herein. If multiple law enforcement agencies
participated in the seizure and the City is not a part of a task force agreement covering the
distribution of awarded fund, the amount of funds distributed to CITY shall be based upon the
ratio that the District's personnel's participation bears to the participation of all law enforcement agencies and
units that participated in the seizure of the currency/property; otherwise the amount of funds distributed to
the City will be based upon the task force agreement. The Funds shall be and shall always remain in
the ownership of the CITY, and BSO shall not have any right to ownership and control of
such Funds, except as to custody of federal asset sharing funds held for City's access and use
when mandated by federal law. During the term of this Agreement, such Funds may be
earmarked for the BSO's use within the confines of the City, upon approval of the CITY as
follows:

determination as to whether the request complies with applicable law. If the
BSO's legal counsel finds that the request complies with applicable law, the
District Chief shall then submit the request, accompanied by a written
certification that the request complies with the provisions of §932.7055(4) Florida
Statutes, or Federal Regulations to the City Manager and/or County Commission
as applicable.
4. If the request and accompanied written certification are acceptable to the City
Manager, the City Manager may place the request and written certification on the
agenda for the City Commission's consideration.

use within the confines of the City. The City shall transfer ownership of any
personal property purchased with the Funds to BSO for exclusive use within the
District.

seized through active participation of the District personnel and subsequently forfeited solely
to the CITY under Chapter 932, Florida Statutes, shall be in the sole discretion of the CITY.

CITY under Chapter 932, Florida Statutes, the City shall reimburse BSO for any
costs, as described in paragraph 11(h), below, incurred in the seizure and
forfeiture of such property.
2. BSO shall annually invoice the CITY for all actual costs incurred by BSO in the
forfeiture action including, but not limited to, filing fees and advertising costs,

personal property.

BSO shall allocate the net proceeds from the disposition to the CITY's Law
Enforcement Trust Fund.
5. In the event that this Agreement is terminated and such property is still in use by
BSO within or outside the CITY, such property shall be turned over to the CITY.
13
6. If the CITY decides to dispose of personal property, other than currency, forfeited
to the CITY under Chapter 932, Florida Statutes, or federal law, proceeds of the
sale of such property, less costs as described in paragraph I I (h) herein, shall be
deposited in the CITY's Law Enforcement Trust Fund, or held by BSO for City's
account and use as required by federal law. Proceeds from the sale of property
deposited in the CITY's Law Enforcement Trust Fund, or held by BSO for City's
account and use as required by federal law, may be designated for BSO's use
within the confines of the City, in the same manner as provided in subsection
10(d) above.

property seized solely by District staff, prior to the filing of a Complaint for Forfeiture. The
CITY shall notify BSO within five (5) business days of any objections it has related to the

agreed upon decision, the final decision to proceed shall be made by the CITY. The parties
agree that the decision to use or dispose of real property seized within the CITY, through
active participation of the District's personnel, and subsequently forfeited solely to the
District pursuant to Chapter 932, Florida Statutes, shall be in the absolute and sole discretion
of the CITY.
If the CITY decides to dispose of such real property, proceeds from the sale of
the real property shall be deposited into the CITY's Law Enforcement Trust Fund,
less any loans, mortgages, liens, costs (as described in subsection I I (h) herein,
below) or any other encumbrance on the property incurred by BSO in the seizure,

deposited in the CITY's Law Enforcement Trust Fund may be designated for
BSO's use within the confines of the City, in the same manner as provided in
subsection 10(d), above.

any loans, mortgages, liens, costs (as described in paragraph I I (h), below) or any
other encumbrance on the property incurred by BSO in the seizure and forfeiture
of such property. However, prior to filing a forfeiture complaint for real property
seized within the CITY, BSO's legal staff shall first consult with CITY's legal
advisor for authorization to proceed with the forfeiture due to the potential for
excessive costs to the CITY from mortgages, liens or other encumbrances on the
real property. CITY shall provide BSO with a filing decision on the prospective
forfeiture within three (3) working days after obtaining all relevant information
from BSO required to adequately evaluate the equity of the seized real property,
including, but not limited to, the value of the property and any liens thereon.

personnel and the active participation of personnel from other law enforcement agencies, and
such property is forfeited to multiple law enforcement agencies pursuant to Chapter 932,
Florida Statutes, or federal law, the decision to use or dispose of such property shall be made
by agreement of the participating agencies. If such property is sold, the CITY's share of the
proceeds of such sale, less costs (governed by applicable task force MOU, or if none, as
defined in Section 11(h)) incurred in the seizure, forfeiture, and sale of such property, shall
be based upon the ratio that the District's personnel's participation bears to the participation
of all law enforcement agencies and units that participated in the seizure of the property. The
City's share of proceeds from the sale of such property shall be deposited into the CITY's
Law Enforcement Trust Fund, and may be earmarked for BSO's use, in the same manner as
provided in subsection 10(d), above.
h. Any costs incurred in the seizure, forfeiture, or sale of personal or real property seized within
the CITY, through active participation of the District personnel and subsequently forfeited

security, forfeiture proceeding (i.e. court costs, publication costs) and sale of such
property.
