Each agency <br />requires segregation of funds for auditing purposes. The City has set <br />these segregated funds in Fund 26, Criminal Activities, in which there are <br />five separate activities (26-340, 26-342, 26-343, 26-344, and 26-345). <br />Federal guidelines for forfeitures forbid a local agency to appropriate <br />anticipated funds.
