RESOLUTION NO. 2013-017
A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE SALE OF
WHATCOM COUNTY SURPLUS PROPERTY
PURSUANT TO WCC 1.10
WHEREAS, a Deputy Sheriff who was a K-9 handler has left county employment, and
WHEREAS, the K-9 Kabar assigned to this handler is six years old with one to two years of
remaining working capacity, and
WHEREAS, the K-9 would require approximately $12,000 of training to be reassigned to
another handler and there is a question whether the reassignment would be successful, and
WHEREAS, the Sheriff's Department has determined it is in the County's best interest to retire
the K-9 Kabar
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that pursuant to WCC 1.10.260 Specialty or unique
personal property the County Council hereby authorizes the county purchasing agent to enter
into negotiations for the sale of the K-9 Kabar to his former handler for not less than 90 percent
of the estimated market value of the K-9. The negotiated sale price will be reported to the
County Council and will be public information, however due to the nature of the transaction and
the potential for County liability, the County Council hereby waves the requirement that the
public will be given two weeks notice by advertisement in a legal newspaper, and an opportunity
to compete for the item's purchase by mailed bids.
