48. TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP OF RETIRING K-9-ELLE Approve the transfer of ownership of retiring Victim Support K-9, Elle, to Victim Advocate, Cindy Walker. Elle is an 11-year-old Golden Retriever. Due to her advanced age, she shows a decreased drive and noticeable behavior change, limiting her abilities and requirements to perform duties adequately. Elle is becoming increasingly dependent upon the K-9 handler and requires additional care beyond what is acceptable in a courtroom setting. Cindy Walker accepts full care and financial responsibility for the dog upon adoption and will be asked to sign the Canine Release and Indemnification. (THIS ITEM REQUIRES A UNANIMOUS VOTE OF THE BOARD.) (C-19-25-039-X-00)
