Agenda 10/13/2020 Item #16J 5 (US Dept. of Justice & US Dept. of Treasury Equitable Sharing Agreement)10/13/2020
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to endorse the United States Department of Justice and United States
Department of Treasury combined Equitable Sharing Agreement and Certification through
September 30, 2021.
OBJECTIVE: To have the Collier County Commission endorse the United States Department of Justice
and United States Department of Treasury combined Equitable Sharing Agreement and Certification valid
through September 30, 2021.
CONSIDERATION: The Collier County Sheriff’s Office participates in joint investigations in which
the Sheriff’s Office works with the United States Department of Justice and the United States Department
of Treasury to enforce federal criminal laws. Local law enforcement agencies that directly or indirectly
participate in an investigation or prosecution that result in a federal forfeiture by these agencies may
request an equitable share of the net proceeds of the forfeiture. An Equitable Sharing Agreement and
Certification is required to be submitted annually. The head of the law enforcement agency and the head
of the governing body must approve the Collier County Sheriff’s Office to electronically file the
Equitable Sharing Agreement and Certification. The Equitable Sharing Agreement and Certification,
valid through September 30, 2021, needs to be approved by the Chairman of the Board of County
Commissioners.
FISCAL IMPACT: Requested equitable share revenues will be accounted for separately in the
Sheriff’s Office. Funds will be used to supplement and not supplant Sheriff’s Office law enforcement
purposes. The fiscal year in which the revenues will be received depends on when a case is closed. Total
revenues to be received cannot be determined until cases are closed.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: Approval of this item will have no impact on growth
management.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney, is approved as to
form and legality, and requires majority vote for Board approval. -JAK
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners endorses the United States
Department of Justice and United States Department of Treasury combined Federal Equitable Sharing
Agreement and Certification valid through September 30, 2021.
