Adopt a resolution authorizing the purchase agreement between Santa Ana Police Officer McCarthy and the City of Santa Ana for the purchase of a retired Police K-9. 2. Authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to execute the attached purchase agreement with Santa Ana Police Officer McCarthy for the purchase of his retired Police K-9 in the amount of $1, subject to non -substantive changes approved by the City Attorney and City Manager. DISCUSSION On November 13, 2016, Officer Mike McCarthy was transferred from the K-9 Unit to Patrol. His assigned canine Max is 10 years old, normal retirement age for police service dogs. At his age, it would be impractical to reassign Max to a new canine handler to attend the Basic Handlers Course before being put back in service. During their assignment as a K-9 team, Max has lived with Officer McCarthy for over 6 years. As Max retires, Officer McCarthy wishes to purchase Max for the standard fee of $1. Officer McCarthy will assume ownership and full responsibility for the care, maintenance, food, housing, medical and any other expenses that arise out of Officer McCarty's ownership of Max. It is recommended that the agreement between Officer McCarthy and the City of Santa Ana be approved. 55A-1
