Adopt a resolution authorizing the purchase agreement between Santa Ana Police Officer <br />Galeana and the City of Santa Ana for the sale of a retired Santa Ana Police K-9. <br />2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the attached purchase agreement with Santa Ana Police <br />Officer Galeana for the sale of a retired Police K-9 in the amount of $1, subject to non - <br />substantive changes approved by the City Attorney and City Manager. <br />DISCUSSION <br />On November 1, 2019, Officer Luis Galeana will graduate from the K-9 Handlers Basic Course with <br />his new assigned police service dog. His assigned canine Puskas is ten years old, the average <br />retirement age for police service dogs. At his age, it would be impractical to keep him in service. <br />During their assignment as a K-9 team, Puskas has lived with Officer Galeana for over four years. <br />As Puskas retires, Officer Galeana wishes to purchase Puskas for the standard fee of $1. Officer <br />Galeana will assume ownership and full responsibility for the care, maintenance, food, housing, <br />medical and any other expenses that arise out of Officer Galeana's ownership of Puskas. In order <br />to provide a consistent home and care for K-9 Puskas, it is recommended that the agreement <br />(Exhibit 2) between Officer Galeana and the City of Santa Ana, and the attached resolution (Exhibit <br />1) authorizing the agreement, be approved. <br />STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT <br />Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal #1 Community Safety - Objective #3 <br />(Promote fiscal accountability to ensure financial responsibility at all levels of the organization), <br />Strategy A (Continuously evaluate and assess fiscal aspect of service delivery to ensure that the <br />Police Department provides programs and services efficiently and effectively). <br />55F-1 <br />
