Title
A Resolution Approving the Surplus of K9 Onyx and a Capital Purchase requiring a budget increase.
Summary
Description of Topic: (who, what, where, when, why and how much)
In a prior Resolution (24-1239-RES) on June 17, 2024 the Foley Police Department was approved to purchase a Dual Purpose K9. In July of 2024, K9 Onyx was purchased and she arrived in August 2024. It has been determined by her handler Sgt. Lizarraga, after approximately 6 months of extensive training, that she is showing workability issues which cannot be corrected through additional training. For this reason, Foley Police Department is requesting to declare K9 Onyx as surplus. The orginial seller has agreed, in writing, for Sgt. Lizarraga to transfer K9 Onyx, AS IS, to a new handler in North Carolina. Sgt. Lizarraga will meet the new owner in Atlanta for the exchange. Foley Police Department is requesting to add a replacement, (1) K9 Dual Purpose Dog. The replacement dog's cost will be covered under warranty but there will be travel expenses for K9 Onyx to be driven to Atlanta, GA and for the new replacement dog to be flown back to the U.S. Sgt. Lizarraga will cover the travel expenses upfront and has requested reimbursement once he returns. Airfare/travel costs are not expected to exceed $2,000.00. The travel expense will be paid from Capital Purchase Account #100-2010-5100, requiring a budget increase of $2000.00 to be transferred from the Travel and Training Account #100-2010-6055.
