Item No. 15-05
Date: January 12, 2015
Item/Subject: Resolve, Appropriating $8,000 from the State Seizure Trust Account
to Purchase a Police Canine
Responsible Department: Police
Commentary:
This resolve will appropriate $8,000 from the State Seizure Trust Account to Purchase a Police
Canine. The Police Department recently retired a police canine from duty and is working with a
Gorham Maine based breeder to acquire a replacement canine. Over the past two years this
breeder has provided trained police canines to the Portland, Freeport, Ellsworth and Presque Isle
police departments. Staff recommends paying for the purchase out of state seizure funds, which
is an allowable use. $8,000 is an amount not to exceed and any unexpended funds will be
returned to the State Seizure trust account.
On January 5, 2015, the Finance Committee reviewed and recommended this resolve to the full
Council.
