AGENDA MEMORANDUM

Meeting Date:           May 14, 2007

From:                          Chief William J. Chrisman      

Subject:                      Authorize appropriation of Forfeiture Funds to assist the Boys and Girls Club of Lake and Sumter Counties with the AAU Basketball Teams     

Staff Recommendation:

Staff recommends approval of the appropriation of $4000 to assist the Boys and Girls Clubs of Lake and Sumter Counties with the AAU Basketball Teams.

Analysis:

The Boys and Girls Clubs of Lake and Sumter Counties are challenging the skills of local youth while in an alcohol and drug free environment.  AAU is not only a drug free activity, but it also builds self esteem and encourages team building.  The Forfeiture Funds will assist the Boys and Girls Club with sponsoring local youth who might not otherwise play.  The Police Department is supportive of our youth in all positive community endeavors.

Options:

1.  Approve the appropriation of Forfeiture Funds in the amount of $4000

2.  Such alternative action as the Commission may deem appropriate

Fiscal Impact: 

Funding is available for this purpose and is an authorized use of Law Enforcement Trust Funds.
