Due to the size of the gambling machines <br /> and cannabis equipment, the Police Department’s Evidence Section is unable to store <br />these items. <br />The City Council approved separate three-year lease agreements with Rick Kagasoff for <br />each location on April 21, 2020 and April 6, 2021. The Police Department exercised the <br />first option for a one-year extension for one warehouse and both agreements are set to <br />terminate at the end of April 2024. <br />Based on the number of seizures over the past years, these warehouses are close to <br />capacity. Under our current lease, the property owner reinforced the fenced yard space <br /> <br />
