suB.lECT ACCEPT A DONATION FOR POLICE DOGS
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager to accept a donation of $10,000 to purchase two police service dogs;
and
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Special Trust Fund by $10,000 from available funds.
DISCUSSION:
A charitable foundation in the community that chooses to remain anonymous has generously donated
$10,000 to the Fort Worth Police Department to purchase two additional police service dogs. In
response to a Justex recommendation to expand the K-9 Unit, the department intends to assign one
dog each to the North/V1/est Field Operations Bureau and the South/East Field Operations Bureau.
They will be handled by members of the Crime Response Teams. The increased cost to the Police
Department will be approximately $8,350 per year for care of the dogs, and there is a one-time cost of
$6,000 to equip two existing vehicles.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Finance Director certifies that upon adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be
available in the current operating budget, as appropriated, of the Special Trust Fund.
