Council accepts AKC Reunite grant and approves $19,652 budget modification for police K‑9
Summary
City accepted a $7,500 AKC Reunite grant to offset narcotics K‑9 costs and approved a $19,652 modification in the police patrol general-fund budget to cover the remaining expenses, with funding supplemented by existing opioid grant funds.
The Green River City Council voted April 8 to accept a grant from AKC Reunite and to approve a $19,652 modification in the general fund for the police department’s patrol division to fund a narcotics K‑9.
Police Chief Sean Robertson told the council the department had renewed its narcotics K‑9 program and had received a final invoice after delays. “We did get awarded that grant to the amount of $7,500 to offset some of the cost,” Robertson said, and staff had determined that previously awarded opioid funds could apply to pay the remaining balance. Robertson asked the council to approve acceptance of the AKC Reunite grant and the budget adjustment to pay the final invoice.
Councilman Shutra moved to accept the grant and approve the budget modification in the amount of $19,652; the motion carried unanimously.
The action authorizes the department to complete payment for the K‑9 and associated training with the combined AKC Reunite grant and reallocated opioid-fund dollars.
