Commissioners approve transfer of inoperative 2011 cruiser to local trainer, subject to auditor and prosecutor checks
Summary
Hocking County commissioners approved transferring an out-of-service 2011 Dodge Charger used as a canine cruiser to Mitchell Christian of Christian K9 Academy, contingent on auditor confirmation of zero book value and prosecuting attorney approval.
Hocking County commissioners on March 27 approved transferring ownership of an inoperative 2011 Dodge Charger formerly used as a canine cruiser to Mitchell Christian, owner of Christian K9 Academy, contingent on two conditions: the county auditor must confirm the vehicle has zero book value and the prosecuting attorney must approve the transfer.
The sheriff's written letter to commissioners described the cruiser as stripped of emergency equipment and otherwise inoperative, and requested permission to transfer the vehicle to Christian for training scenarios at his facility. Commissioners indicated they expected the vehicle to be fully depreciated given its model year and discussed confirming the auditor's book value before finalizing the transfer.
Why it matters: The transfer would dispose of county surplus equipment and provide a training asset to a private canine-training provider. Commissioners requested confirmation from the auditor and a sign-off from the prosecuting attorney before the transfer is finalized.
