TO: WILLIAM A. HUSTON, CITY MANAGER
FROM: POLICE DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION FOR CAPITAL EXPENDITURE -
Recommendation
Purchase one replacement police dog and related equip-
ment from Adlerhorst Kennels, Riverside, California, at a
total cost of $9,434.00.
Background
In the current fiscal year budget, the City Council
authorized the purchase of one replacement canine upon the
retirement of Canine Fello. Fello will be officially
retired on March 1, 1990. We have a reserved training
spot for this replacement team to begin March S, 1990.
Since our Canine Program began in 1981, we have used
Adlerhorst Kennels exclusively. All our current canines
have been purchased and trained through Adlerhorst, a
kennel recognized as the premiere training facility west
of the Mississippi. The only vendor within several
hundred mils is in the San Fernando Valley. Although the
prices at doth kennels are competitive, the training is
not con-sistent with our current program.
We have received excellent service from Adlerhorst Kennels
for seven years while they helped to implement and sustain
our most successful program. Consequently, we request
permission to purchase from our current vendor.
