(a) The court trying city ordinance violations shall assess two dollars ($2.00) as additional court costs against every person convicted for violation of a municipal ordinance as authorized by Section 943.25 of the Florida Statutes. All such sums shall be turned over to the finance director to be deposited in a fund as established in (b) to be known as the law enforcement education fund.
(b) There is hereby established a fund to be known as the law enforcement education fund. All funds received by the city from the assessment of court costs established in this Section shall be segregated from all other funds of the city and set apart by the finance director in a separate fund to be known and designated as the law enforcement education fund. Such funds may, from time to time, in the discretion of the city commission, be invested. The interest received upon such funds and the principal thereof may, upon the request of the chief of police, be used for law enforcement education expenditures for the benefit of members of the city police department. Expenditures shall be permitted by the city manager, upon approval of the city commission, when authorized in accordance with law.
