A RESOLUTION AFFIRMING RESOLUTION

No. 49-92 RELATING TO

THE DISTRIBUTION OF FORFEITED PROPERTY

RECITALS.

On June 30, 1992, the City Council adopted Resolution 49-92 which established and provided for a Committee for Disposition of Forfeited Property. In Resolution 49-92, the City approved the membership of the Committee on Disposition of Forfeited Property, established a process and distribution plan for forfeited property. All law enforcement agencies in Mesa County approved the same plan.

In 2003 the State legislature revised the forfeiture laws contained in C.R.S. §16-13-301, et. seq. because of and in light of those revisions the City of Grand Junction desires to reauthorize the method and plan for distribution of forfeited funds and the Committee on Disposition of Forfeited Property in conformity with the revised C.R.S. §16-13-301, et seq.

NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION THAT:

Resolution 49-92 relating to the creation of the Committee on Disposition of Forfeited Property is affirmed. Furthermore, the Council finds and resolves that the distribution of forfeited funds shall continue to be deposited in the Law Enforcement Forfeiture Fund and distributed by the 21^st Judicial District Committee on Forfeited Funds and used for public safety purposes, pursuant to law in effect as of the date of this resolution C.R.S. §16-13-301 et. seq.

PASSED and ADOPTED THIS 2^nd day of July 2003.
