DISCUSSION
Pursuant to Government Code 27388, the Orange County Real Estate Fraud Trust Committee, in
conjunction with the Orange County District Attorney's Office was created to administer funds to
local cities to support their efforts to investigate real estate fraud crimes. Recently, the Santa Ana
Police Department was awarded $18,000 to fund salary and overtime costs of investigators
handling these cases. Under the terms of this award, the Police Department is required to
provide detailed accounting of all funds and provide statistics on the number of investigations and
arrests that resulted from the use of these funds.

Approval of the appropriation adjustment with the acceptance of these funds will increase the
City's Police Special Revenue Account (account #02414002-57400) in the amount of $18,000,
and will increase the same into the Police Special Revenue - General overtime expenditure
account (account no. 02414400 61040).
