BY: PUBLIC SERVICES COMMITTEE, Richard D. Kuhn, Jr.,
Chairperson
IN RE: SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT - Disposition of Canine (K-9)
Unit Dogs
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS:
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, the Oakland County Sheriff has disbanded the
Canine (K-9) Unit; and
WHEREAS, this Unit had two (2) dogs which now require
placement; and
WHEREAS, the County must receive fair market value for
these animals; and
WHEREAS, due to the unique training received and
loyalty established with their individual handlers, these dogs
can neither be retrained to respond to new handlers, therefore
being unsuitable for placement with another law enforcement
unit, nor can these animals be put up for placement by the
Animal Control Division as pets; and
WHEREAS, these unique circumstances result in these
animals having no fair market value for which they can be
sold; and
WHEREAS, the Sheriff recommends selling these dogs to
their handlers for a nominal sum should the handlers wish to
purchase these dogs; and
WHEREAS, this matter has been reviewed by the
Department of Corporation Counsel and the Manager of the
Animal Control Division which concur with the Sheriff's
recommendations.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County
Board of Commissioners approves selling the dogs from the
Canine (K-9) Unit of the Sheriff's Department to each of their
handlers for their fair market value which has been
established to be nominal, upon the execution by the handlers
of the appropriate documents drafted by the Department of
Corporation Counsel.
Mr. Chairperson, on behalf of the Public Services
Committee, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
