Council to consider accepting forfeiture funds for police K‑9 replacement and care
Summary
Staff said narcotics‑seizure funds from the state attorney general's office are proposed to be set aside for K‑9 purposes, including eventual replacement; staff said each acceptance would require a formal approval and recommendation for use.
Staff explained that funds from a narcotics seizure would be set aside to support the police K‑9 program, including eventual replacement and care for the dog. "So this was part of a narcotics, seizure, and our drug k 9 was instrumental in that. So chief Furlan thought it was good to set that money aside for k 9 purposes, including the eventual replacement of the k 9 because because they only work for a certain amount of time before they are are replaced," the staff member said.
Staff said the money will come from the state attorney general's office and that the council would need to approve acceptance of the funds; as part of those approvals, staff would recommend appropriate uses. Members suggested keeping a running balance so the department can track how much is available for K‑9 expenses. The transcript shows discussion and intent but does not include a recorded vote to accept the funds in the excerpt.
