herift'Derul Loar <br />Indian River County Sheriff's Office <br />February 1, 2018 <br />Mr. Peter D. O'Bryan, Chairman <br />Indian River Board of County Commissioners <br />180127 1h Street <br />Vero Beach, FL 32960 <br />Re: P.G.I. Request — County Fund 126 <br />Dear Chairman O'Bryan: <br />Florida Statute 932.7055, the Florida Contraband Forfeiture Act, provides that proceeds and interest <br />earned from the forfeiture of real or personal property shall be used for providing additional <br />equipment and may not be used to meet normal operating expenses of the law enforcement agency. <br />These funds are the direct result of our deputies' diligent law enforcement efforts and are derived <br />mainly from drug related offenses. None of the funds are derived from county tax dollars. <br />Please consider this letter as a request for transfer of $11,111.24 to the Indian River County <br />Sheriffs Office. These funds will be used to purchase equipment for covert law enforcement <br />operations. This transfer will close out the remaining PGI funds for County Fund 126-000-000- <br />247026 ($236.31) and County Fund 126-000-000-247029 ($10,874.93). <br />Please place this item under Constitutional Officers for the February 13, 2017 board agenda. If you <br />have any questions or require additional information, please contact me at 978-6404. Thank you for <br />your consideration. <br />Sincerely, <br />Deryl Loar, Sheriff <br />DL:nmj <br />cc: Jason E.
