South Whitley marshal announces K-9 retirement; council approves replacement purchase
Summary
Town Marshal Mikel Vandevender said veterinarian advice led to retiring K-9 Jaycee; council approved transfer of ownership to the handler and authorized purchase of a replacement K-9 from FM K-9.
Town Marshal Mikel Vandevender told the council that, after a veterinary diagnosis, K-9 Jaycee should be retired from active duty. The council approved a transfer-of-ownership contract to move Jaycee to her handler, and authorized purchasing a replacement K-9 from FM K-9 so the department can maintain a canine unit.
Vice President Brock Waterson moved to accept the retirement and transfer of ownership; Council President Randy Cokl seconded. The motion passed 2-0. Vandevender then sought approval to purchase a new K-9; Waterson moved and Cokl seconded, and that motion also passed 2-0. The minutes note Officer Fannin as the handler who would receive Jaycee under the transfer agreement.
The minutes do not list purchase price or delivery timeline for the replacement K-9; the marshal indicated the department sought to continue K-9 operations.
