Description
Request authorization for the City Manager, or designee, to authorize the sale of canine "Titan" to Officer Curtis Howard.

Report
Summary
Canine "Titan" is more than seven years old and has served the Tactical Support Bureau for the past five years. The Canine Unit's canines are normally replaced after eight to 10 years of service based on health, workability and performance, but due to behavioral issues, "Titan" has been deemed unsuitable to function in his capacity as a police service dog.
This request is for the authorization of the sale of canine "Titan" for $1.00. The puchase of canine "Titan" is being made by Officer Curtis Howard. Officer Howard agrees to accept full responsibility and liability for "Titan" until his death.
