STRATEGIC PLAN:
This action supports the following areas of your Board's Strategic Plan.

Area of Focus: Safe & Healthy Communities
Strategic Plan Category: 9999 - Core Services/Other

DISCUSSION:
In accordance with government code 29430-29441, the county Board of Supervisors (BOS) shall establish a Sheriff's special appropriation that may be used for expenses in criminal cases arising in the county. The Humboldt County Drug Task Force (DTF) has a special appropriation for this purpose paid for with the DTF asset forfeiture funding. This fiscal year, HCSO, through a grant, has established a Problem Oriented Policing (POP) program. With the establishment of this new program, the need for special investigation payments has become necessary for the success of the POP team. Since the DTF asset forfeiture funds are separate from HCSO asset forfeiture funds, HCSO is requesting its own special investigations appropriation in the amount of $2,500 for the remainder of FY2025-26.

To facilitate timely special investigation payments, HCSO is requesting a revolving petty cash account in the amount of $2,000.
