Board approves moving state's attorney forfeiture proceeds into county special revenue fund under treasurer control
Summary
Edgar County Board voted to create a special revenue fund to receive and appropriate state's-attorney-held asset forfeiture proceeds, moving control of those funds to the county treasurer.
The board approved establishing a special, separate revenue fund to hold assets forfeiture proceeds that previously were controlled by the state's attorney. Chair explained the intent: "Basically, what that's doing is moving that out of a separate account, controlled by the state's attorney and putting it totally under the control of the treasurer." The motion was moved and approved by roll call.
Board members said the change was requested by the state's attorney so the treasurer could provide regular accounting and bank resolution management; the measure passed without amendment and will be implemented by the treasurer's office.
