COUNTY OF FULTON
A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE RETIREMENT AND SALE OF POLICE CANINE
"KYRO"
WHEREAS, the City's Charter provides, at Section 1.12(b) (22), that the City
is empowered, "To acquire, dispose of, lease, enter into a contract for valuable
consideration for the use, operation, or management of, and hold in trust or
otherwise any real, personal, or mixed property, in fee simple or lesser interest,
inside or outside the property limits of the city";
WHEREAS, O.C.G.A. § 36-37-6 and Section 2-390 of the Milton Code of
Ordinances provide that personal property with an estimated value of $500 or less
may be sold by the governing authority of the City in the open market without
advertisements or bids, and that the governing authority has the power to
estimate the value of property to be sold;
WHEREAS, the City's Police Department has indicated that "Kyro," a police -
trained German Shepherd, is of such age and medical condition that he is of
limited effectiveness as a police canine;
WHEREAS, the City understands that Kyro was not purchased with grant
funds containing restrictions on the disposal of property;
WHEREAS, based on the opinion of a licensed veterinarian regarding the
market value of Kyro (attached hereto), the City finds that it would likely receive
less than $500 in resale value for Kyro;
WHEREAS, Joshua Reece, a former police officer with the City of Milton, has
agreed to accept ownership of Kyro as a pet; be responsible for his care and
safekeeping; and neither utilize Kyro in the capacity as a trained police canine
nor sell or otherwise convey Kyro to any other law enforcement office or agency;
WHEREAS, in partial consideration of receiving ownership of Kyro, Mr. Reece
has agreed to release and indemnify the City from any claims or damages arising
from his ownership of Kyro; and
