Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost:  No federal asset forfeiture purchases or expenditures are currently planned.
 
Background:   This office has not received a share of any federal forfeitures for the last 11 years.  We are aware that the federal asset seizures are currently occuring.  The above captioned agreement and report must be on file with the appropriate agency for the District Attorney to participate in sharing.
 
Reason for Recommendation:  The District Attorney will be able to receive a share of federal asset forfeitures and use these funds, according to the prescribed guidelines, for law enforcement purposes.
 
Action to be taken following Board approval:  Agreement to be sent to Department of Justice.
