A RESOLUTION TO CLOSE THE HIGH TECH CRIME UNIT FUND
RECITALS:
1. In approximately 2005, the City of Central Point created the High Tech Crime
Unit to provide a full range of digital evidence forensic services and
investigative assistance to other agencies.
2. Through the fiscal year 2011-12 budget process, the High Tech Crime Unit
Fund was established to track and report the resources and expenditures,
separate from the General Fund, associated with the High Tech Crime Unit.
3. As of September 2014, the participating agencies ceased operations out of
the Central Point police department's facilities but there were forfeiture funds
still being held by the City of Central Point.
4. At the February 23, 2017 City Council meeting, Resolution No. 1493 was
approved which authorized the City to enter into an agreement to distribute
the remaining forfeiture funds; $27,757.97. It was agreed that Jackson
County was to receive $13,878.99 and Central Point would receive
$13,878.98.
5. After the distribution of forfeiture funds, there remained $78,842.03 which
were amounts budgeted in the City's General Fund in the event the High
Tech Crime Unit was not financially self-sustaining. Those funds carried over
from year to year and were approved through the agreement to be distributed
to the City of Central Point.
6. The 2017-19 biennial budget approved a transfer of the remaining
$78,842.03 cash balance to the Reserve Fund for future police equipment
needs. The transfer was made during the 2017-18 fiscal year.
The City of Central Point resolves as follows:
To close the High Tech Crime Unit Fund.
Passed by the Council and signed by me in authentication of its passage this
