Regular Meeting
February 18, 2026
Agenda Item Number:
26-0393
BULK ITEM: Yes DEPARTMENT: Budget and Finance
TIME APPROXIMATE: STAFF CONTACT: John Quinn
AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval to rescind previously approved agenda item #N2 from the
December 10, 2025 meeting and Approval of Monroe County Sheriffs Office request for expenditure
of South Florida Law Enforcement Asset Forfeiture Fund for FY2026 in the amount of $40,788 for the
purchase and installation of approximately 2,850 linear feet of security screen for the perimeter fence
of the MTF facility, an MCSO leased facility, in Sweetwater, FL.
ITEM BACKGROUND: This item is to revise the funding source previously approved in agenda
item #N2 by the board on December 10, 2025 from "Federal Equitable Sharing Funds" to "South
Florida Law Enforcement Asset Forfeiture Funds". The funds will be used for the purchase and
installation of approximately 2,850 linear feet of security screen for the perimeter fence of the MTF
facility, an MCSO leased facility, in Sweetwater, FL. This request is to enhance the safety and
wellbeing of the occupants of the MTF facility. Due to recent anti -law enforcement activity and
publicized threats to law enforcement personnel, security protocols at all of the HIDTA facilities are
being evaluated and refined. Target hardening is a major component of the security upgrade, and the
perimeter security screening is a cost-effective and productive means of helping to secure the facility.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION:
Item #N2 was approved by the board on 12/10/25 and contained incorrect funding/wording.
On September 16, 2020, the BOCC approved a budget amendment to accommodate the new directive
issued by the Department of Justice and the Department of Treasury to transition the Sheriffs
equitable sharing accounts to the county finance offices.

(SFLHIDTA) project. The SFLHIDTA covers eight counties and consists of 38 Law Enforcement Tasks Force
initiatives dedicated to a myriad of tasks related to narcotics trafficking, including interdiction, money laundering,

ouve 60 located in the three South Florida HIDTA facilities in Miami -Dade and Broward Counties.
Detail of Request for Shared Funds (must include breakdown of initiatives to be accomplished with shared monies, costs, and
timeframes for completion):
This asset forfeiture request is for the purchase and installation of approximately 2,850 linear feet of security
screen for the perimeter fence of the MTF facility, an MCSO leased facility, in Sweetwater, Fl.
The entire parking area is enclosed with a six-foot tall aluminum post fence, but the parking area and facility
entrances are visible to passersby. The other two MCSO-leased HIDTA facilities have the security screens
installed.
Three quotes were obtained, with the lowest at $40,788.00, Fence Masters, Inc.
Quotes are attached.

preventative connection (drug awareness program), or developmental connection (funding law enforcement awareness in a youth
program).
This request is to enhance the safety and wellbeing of the occupants of the MTF facility.
Due to recent anti -law enforcement activity and publicized threats to law enforcement personnel, security
protocols at all of the HIDTA facilities are being evaluated and refined. Target hardening is a major
component of the security upgrade, and the perimeter security screening is a cost-effective and
productive means of helping to secure the facility.
