Chief Vergos informed the Board that their fundraising efforts have resulted in over $80K and that they have raised enough to fund the purchase of the dog and the squad that is needed for this addition. Vergos also presented a budget for the K9 program. Vergos stated that annually he feels that the operational budget would be between $7k and $10k but feels confident that they can fundraise for most, if not all, of those funds. Leonard stated that the potential budget risk is likely the $7k-$10k for the next 5-7 years as that would be the expected timeframe for the K9 but hope to continue after that. Vergos also explained he has an opportunity to purchase a K9 this spring or summer that is ready to go. Streetar asked if the squad would go home with the handler and Vergos said it would. Will asked if this was a new squad, or one that would be pulled from the existing fleet and repurposed. Vergos said this would be a new squad and that he expected it to last 5-6 years and he intends to continue to fundraise for all future costs. Duffy stated we should move forward and reassess in 5-7 years if fundraising doesn’t meet the needs and thought it was a great opportunity that a dog was available now. Schaub asked if the K9 officer was not on duty if we would just call the County for K9. Vergos said yes, likely, or we could call in our K9. Schaub also asked what would happen if the handler decided to leave the department. Vergos stated that he and Leonard will address that through a contract and also mentioned that K9 could likely be transferred to another handler within the department. Motion to approve the purchase of the K9 and associated expenses including ordering the new squad by Hornung, seconded by Duffy. 5 ayes. Motion carried. 2. The Board discussed the bids for the Polk Street Improvements Project. Director Vis presented the bid tabulation that included 8 bids and recommended awarding the bid to the lowest bidder, Advance Construction Inc., in the amount of $944,177.05.  Motion to award the bid as recommended by Schaub to Advance Construction, seconded by Will. 5 ayes.
