agency receives 10% based upon their contribution, then the MOU Participants' percentages shall be
based upon 90% of the maximum amount available for sharing).
Participants further understand that additional adjustments may be necessary so to ensure that DOJ
receives a minimum of 20%.
Participants further understand that the federal decision-makers, including DEA, on each equitable
sharing request retain discretion to modify percentages as deemed appropriate based on the facts and
circumstances in each case.
The additional and/or departure of Participant agencies and personnel shall not require renewal of this
Sharing Agreement. Rather, the equitable, prearranged sharing percentages shall continue to fairly
reflect Participant agencies investigative, financial, or administrative contributions to the task force
and/or the agencies' efforts resulting in federal forfeiture of the asset.
This Sharing Agreement shall remain in force upon the addition or departure of law enforcement
agencies in the DEA Enforcement Group 1 Task Force. This agreement shall be reviewed annually at
the time each agency completes the State and Local Task Force Agreement with DEA for the coming
Fiscal Year. Termination shall be by mutual consent in writing by all Task Force Participants or by
the withdrawal of DEA, (the latter upon 30 days advance written notice to all current Task Force
Participants)
