16. REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE BUDGET INCREASE FOR ANTI-RACKETEERING FUND Increase the County Attorney's (190) RICO Fund (213) Operating (0000) FY 2010-11 revenue and expenditure appropriations budget by $2,000,000. The revenue budget increase results from a forecasted anticipated rise in forfeited asset revenue during FY 2010-11. The expenditure budget increase is necessary for expected expenditures related to on-going Anti-Racketeering investigations, employee training, increases in civil forfeiture case expenses, technology requirements, and community grants. RICO revenue is not local revenue for the purpose of the constitutional expenditure limitation, and therefore expenditure of this revenue is not prohibited by budget law. This budget adjustment does not alter the budget constraining the expenditure of local revenues duly adopted by the Board pursuant to A.R.S. 42-17105. This revenue and appropriation budget increase will allow the County Attorney to receive additional revenue during FY 2010-11 and expend those funds for needed programs, services, and equipment.
