LAKEVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT TO ACCEPT A $5,000 DONATION FOR THE
K9 PROGRAM AND THE 2010 K9 TRANSITION FROM MIDSTATE RECLAMATION
AND TRUCKING
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to accept the $5,000.00
donated to the Lakeville Police Department K9 Program and the 2010 K9 Transition
Passage of this motion will result in the Lakeville Police Department being able to fund
the replacement of the K9 team that will be retiring in February of 2010.
Overview
The Lakeville Police Department will be retiring Canine Officer "Blue" in February of
2010. We currently have two canine teams that provide daily canine coverage. With
the pending retirement of Canine Officer "Blue", it is necessary to acquire and train a
replacement canine in order to maintain our current level of canine service. In addition,
it will be necessary to install a kennel facility at the residence of the new canine handler.
The estimated cost of the canine transition is $15,000.00. Historically, the department
has funded K9 team "start-up" costs through private donations, and our intention is to
continue that tradition for the 2010 K9 Transition.
Primary Issues to Consider
• Minnesota Statute 465.03 requires that all gifts and donations of real or
personal property be accepted only with the adoption of a resolution of the
governing body.
