The Council appropriate $793.13 from the Asset Forfeiture Trust
Fund to be used by the Police Department for acquiring an under-

A 1987 Chevrolet which was seized by the Police Department pursuant
to a narcotics investigation was declared by the court to have been
forfeited to the Tustin Police Department pursuant to H&S Code
Section 11488.4(j).
The City of Tustin is required to forward a check to the District
Attorney's Office, made payable to the County of Orange, in the
