BACKGROUND <br /> Police Service Canine Camo has been in service with Officer Tim Martens for the past <br /> ten years and at the age of thirteen, has reached the end of his life as a Police Service <br /> Canine. <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> It has been a long standing practice to transfer ownership of retired canines to a <br /> qualified Police Service Canine handler for one dollar and to purchase a medical <br /> insurance policy for future medical care. Research relative to canine medical insurance <br /> policies indicates an approximate yearly cost of $600.00. It is recommended that the <br /> City of Pleasanton agree to pay up to $600.00 per annum for medical services <br /> associated with Camo's care over each of the next three calendar years. The care must <br /> be provided by the existing City approved veterinarian and billed directly to the City of <br /> Pleasanton as is done under current practice. Traditionally, Police Service Canines life <br /> expectancy following retirement is two to three years. <br /> Officer Tim Martens will pay one dollar for Police Service Canine Camo and assume all <br /> responsibility and liability for the Police Service Canine above the $600.00 per annum <br /> medical coverage cost paid for by the city. This benefit will begin January 1, 2016 and <br /> continue through December of 2018. The total fiscal impact will be no greater than <br /> $1,800.00. <br /> Submitted by: Fiscal Review: Approved by: <br /> ' / r `� i � <br /> Davi C.
