For the full wording of the Article, see this link: Link to the Warrant as Amended following Deliberative Session
What it means: During police operations, items of value may be forfeited by individuals. There are expenses associated with the management of such property, including storage, the return of items where appropriate, etc. NH law permits the auctioning of abandoned property, and the proceeds are put into a fund. This Article would allow the funds to be withdrawn to cover departmental costs, as approved via the RSAs. The actual amount is unknown at voting time. The $90,000 is seen as the upper limit of what may be available to withdraw.
Discussion: No one spoke to this Article at Deliberative Session.
Fiscal impact: There would be no tax impact, since this money is in a set-aside fund. This is a routine measure to allow the withdrawal of the funds for various Police Department needs.
