Title
A Resolution Approving an overseas purchase of a new K9 for the Police Department
Summary
Description of Topic: (who, what, where, when, why and how much)
The Foley Police Department has budgeted a new K9 for FY 2026, as a non-capital purchase, under K9 Expense Account 100-2010-6145. With approval, the purchase will take place overseas and will require a wire transfer to be made for payment. The wire transfer will include the cost of a dual purpose dog, shipping to Atlanta, Ga. and shipping crate fee. The vendor, PoliceDogsCentre, has been previously used by our department to purchase other K9's. This purchase is expected to take place in mid January 2026. Sgt. Lizarraga also will incur flight and hotel expenses related to this overseas purchase and is seeking permission to be reimbursed for 1/3 of these costs. The total cost to purchase the K9, shipping/flight fees, and reimbursement to Sgt. Lizarraga will not exceed $14,800.00.
