Elks Lodge No. 1475 has selected the Orange Police Department canine program to receive an $11,250 donation for the purchase of a new police service dog. Through a wide variety of programs, the goal of the B.P.O. Elks Lodge No. 1475 is to serve the people and community. Similarly, the Police Department canine program serves residents and businesses here in the City of Orange. Up until April 2018, the Department maintained three canine teams, Officer Jude King and K9 Griffin, Officer Mick Osborn and K9 Wyatt, and Officer Damon Allen and K9 Bosco. On April 4, 2018, canine Bosco was diagnosed with a career - ending medical condition which precluded him from continuing service with the Orange Police Department. As a result, K9 Bosco was euthanized in April 2018. The original agreement with Adlerhorst international, LLC was for a total of $4,200, which included annual on -site training for Fiscal Year 2017 -2018. The First Amendment to Consultant Services Agreement increased the contract amount by $17,000, for the purchase and training of the third canine. The proposed Second Amendment to Consultant Services Agreement increases the total contract amount by an additional $17,800, for the purchase and training of the replacement canine, for a total compensation amount of $39,000. This contribution will enable the Department to replace K9 Bosco and maintain a three -team force serving residents and businesses in the City of Orange. The Police Department would like to accept an $11,250 donation for the purchase of a police canine service dog. A suitable service dog has been found through Adlerhorst International, LLC for a total cost of $12,122. Funds are budgeted and available to cover the remaining balance of $872. The donation is to be expended by June 30, 2018. 8. ATTACHMENTS • Second Amendment to Consultant Services Agreement with Adlerhorst International, LLC ITEM 2 6/12/18
