The council took up a first reading of an ordinance amending a 1996 county ordinance that governs how the prosecutor's office is reimbursed for expenses when it investigates and prosecutes forfeiture (the legal process of seizing money or property tied to a crime) and RICO (organized-crime) cases, meant to bring the county in line with current state law.
Councilman Randy Gentry said a few details are still being worked out with the prosecutor's office but that the ordinance is expected to be ready for a vote next week.
