Councilman IAEMORANDUH To: City Manager From- Chief of Police 90-38 November 15, 1989 Re: K-9 Program We have tried to work out a modified K-9 program which would hold dam the overtime costs maMated by P.L.S.A. There areacouple' of Options! 1. We could work two teams eight hours per day and pay them for ten hours Drug dog 0600 - 1400 hours - K-9 1600 - 2400 hours or 1800 - 0200 hours This would cost about $193.32 per week in overtime or $10,052 per year. Three teams, one drug dog and two everIng K -9s, would oat $289.98 per week or about $15,079 Per year. 2. .The some approach union a 7} hour day drops the cost to $128.88 per week or $6,702 Per year for two dogs, and to $193.32 per week or $10,052 Per year for three. My to oependation is to spend $15,079 for three teams working $-hour days. The drug dog would work days and would not be trained for any Other type of K-9 response. He and his handler would probably do little patrol work, spending their time instead on routine searches of schools, airport, shipping bunUeeses, etc. This team would also respond to the department's and B.I.D.E.'S requests for criminal searches.. We need two traditional K-9 teams to allow reasonable coverage for - the evening shifts. I do not have $15,079 in my budget, An the money would have to came from the City this year. There is seem potential for reimbursement through the drug dog's activities and. the Asset forfeiture procedure. I would be happy to meet with you to discuss this issue further And to present it to Council. Thank you.
