Exhibit 2 <br />PURCHASE AGREEMENT <br />THIS PURCHASE AGREEMENT, made and entered into this 6th day of October, 2020 <br />by and between former Santa Ana Police Department Officer Michael Heitmann ("former <br />Officer") and the City of Santa Ana, a charter city and municipal corporation organized and <br />existing under the Constitution and laws of the State of California ("City"). <br />RECITALS <br />A. Former Officer was a member of the Santa Ana Police Department and was assigned as <br />a K-9 Handler in the K9 Unit. <br />B. Former Officer was, in connection with his assignment as a K9 Handler, given the care, <br />custody, and control of a police dog named `Tepper" (Dog). <br />C. Dog has been specially trained to assist officers in law enforcement tasks and to <br />respond to commands issued specifically by the former Officer. <br />D. Dog is 10 years old, a normal retirement age for police dogs. Based on her age and <br />current physical condition, it would be impractical to reassign Dog to a new canine <br />handler to attend Basic Handlers Course before being put back in service. <br />E. Dog is considered "surplus" property and the Director of Finance has agreed to sell <br />Dog to former Officer for the total sum of $1.00. <br />F. Former Officer wishes to purchase and adopt Dog. It is the City's intent to sell Dog <br />to former Officer subject to the conditions specified in this agreement. <br />NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual and respective promises, and subject to the <br />terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the parties agree as follows: <br />1. City hereby sells Dog to former Officer for the total sum of $1.00, payable at the time <br />this contract is executed. Former Officer shall be the owner of the Dog upon <br />execution of this contract and payment of $1.00. <br />2. Former Officer agrees and hereby assumes ownership and full responsibility for the <br />care, maintenance, food, housing, medical and any and all other expenses that result <br />from or arise out of former Officer's ownership of Dog. <br />3. Officer agrees that the City shall have no further responsibility of liability for Dog or <br />Dog's care after the date of this Agreement. <br />4. Former Officer agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the City and its <br />officers, employees, representatives, and agents with respect to any loss, damage, <br />claim, injury, or liability that arises out of, or is in any way related to, Dog or former <br />Officer's actions with Dog after the effective date of this Agreement. <br />
