WASHINGTON, AUTHORIZING THE PORT ORCHARD
CITY TREASURER TO ACCEPT FUNDS FOR THE
INVESTIGATION AND APPREHENSION OF PERSONS
CRIMINALLY INVOLVED IN THE SALE,

DANGEROUS DRUGS.
WHEREAS, it appears that the Superior Court of Kitsap
County in the exercise of its authority in imposing judgment and
sentence in criminal cases may order that particular defendants
pay, as a part of such sentence, certain sums of money to the
City of Port Orchard, to be used by law enforcement agencies in
the investigation and apprehension of persons involved in the
illicit sale, distribution and use of drugs, and
WHEREAS, it appears that the Kitsap County Superior
Court will impose such condition in appropriate cases.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Port Orchard,
City Treasurer is authorized and directed to accept such funds as
the Kitsap County Superior Court shall order paid, or any other
municipality or court or person or organization shall tender, to
be spent and applied for the purpose of investigation and
apprehension of persons criminally involved in illicit sale,
distribution or use of narcotic or dangerous drugs or controlled
substances. Such monies, as are accepted, are to be placed in a
Special Revenue Fund for the purchase of drugs and substances, as
well as for such expenses as are reasonable and necessarily
incident thereto.
PROVIDED, that the Port Orchard Police Chief shall be
responsible for implementation and maintenance of such accounting
procedures as will record advancement of funds from the Special
Investigative Unit Imprest Fund and return to the Port Orchard
Police Chief of funds advanced but not expended. The status of
the fund shall be reported to the Mayor and City Council
quarterly;
PROVIDED further, the Port Orchard City Treasurer
shall establish a Special Invesigative Unit Imprest Fund which
shall be funded in accordance with the provisions of Ordinance
No. 1365;
AND PROVIDED FURTHER, that should the Port Orchard
Police Chief determine that the continued maintenance of such
fund is unnecessary or uncalled for, such funds as are then held
by the Port Orchard City Treasurer or Port Orchard Police Chief
shall be remitted to the General Fund of the City, or if the
Kitsap County Superior Court shall so order, to such persons as
that the Court shall direct.
