45. TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP OF RETIRING K-9 – KIMBER Approve the transfer of ownership of retiring K-9, Kimber, #K113, to Deputy John Farnsworth, #S1005. Kimber has served MCSO the past thirteen years with the last ten years being on the road with his handler in Lake Patrol Division with exceptional dedication and valor throughout his career as a certified trailing bloodhound. Kimber is a 13-years-old bloodhound and has worked beyond a normal bloodhound’s normal life and work expectancy, due to age and recent medical issues that he may not ever fully recover from, his retirement will allow his remaining life as a house dog (pet). Deputy Farnsworth has created a strong bond with Kimber over the years as his handler/partner and will accept full care and financial responsibility for Kimber upon adoption and will be asked to sign the Canine Release and Indemnification. THIS ITEM REQUIRES A UNANIMOUS VOTE OF THE BOARD (C-50-24-062-X-00)
