TRANSFER OWNERSHIP OF RETIRING K-9 JOKER
Approve the transfer of ownership of retiring K-9, Joker #K174, to Steve Leitzell 
(Owner/Operator of Spectrum K9). 
K-9 Joker was originally purchased in February 2024 and is a dual-purpose, EOD detection 
and patrol apprehension canine. After completing MCSO basic canine academy, he was 
assigned to Sergeant Russell.
Working alongside Sgt. Russell on duty, several incidents were documented where Joker 
has redirected aggression back to his handler creating injury and unsafe working situation. 
After several attempts at re-training and advanced training it is recommended that Joker be 
retired for the safety of the public and his handler.  After assessment and exhausted efforts 
of additional training with Spectrum K9, in January 2026 it was determined that K9 Joker is 
too much of a liability to be placed as a dual-purpose canine for law enforcement.

TRANSFER OWNERSHIP OF RETIRING K-9 YAVI
Approve the transfer of ownership of retiring K-9, Yavi #K171, to Lieutenant Garcia #S1434.
Lt. Garcia was Yavi’s originally assigned handler in 2023 beginning his service with MCSO. 
K-9 Yavi was originally purchased in 2023 and immediately completed the K-9 academy. 
K-9 Yavi worked alongside Deputy Godinez on patrol in MCSO District 1, 2 and 3 and 
assisting on several SWAT missions. Over the past 7 months Yavi has displayed many 
deficiencies including his area of search work, patrol work and drive to engage suspects, 
reluctance to show aggression, and avoidance during real life deployments. Yavi has shown
signs of stress in high conflict situations which involve skittishness, breaking down to back 
away from conflict, seeking constant reassurance, and complete avoidance of conflict during 
real life deployments, etc.
Due to the list of failures and lack of confidence, for the health and safety of Yavi and his
handler Godinez and the public we ask that Yavi be retired.
Lt. Garcia, as his original handler, has a bond with Yavi will accept full care and financial 
responsibility for Yavi upon adoption.  He will be asked to sign the Canine Release and 
Indemnification.

uses in excess of those permitted by the zoning existing on the date of application, subject 
to conditions.  In the event of the failure to comply with any condition, the property may be 
considered for revocation to the zoning that existed on the date of application.  It is, therefore, 
stipulated and agreed that either revocation due to the failure to comply with any conditions,
does not reduce any rights that existed on the date of application to use, divide, sell or 
possess the property and that there would be no diminution in value of the property from the
value it held on the date of application due to such revocation of the Military Compatibility 
Permit.  The Military Compatibility Permit enhances the value of the property above its value 
as of the date the Military Compatibility Permit is granted and reverting to the prior zoning 
results in the same value of the property as if the Military Compatibility Permit had never 
been granted.

ONE-TIME ADDITIONS TO THE RICO FLEET
Approve five one-time additions to the Sheriff’s Office RICO fleet, of three (3) full-size SUV’s 
all wheel/four-wheel drive and two (2) full-size ½-ton crew cab pickup trucks all wheel/four-
wheel drive to replace current RICO vehicles. 
 
Cost Estimates:
• Purchase Cost: $80,000 per vehicle
• Upfit Cost: $5000 per vehicle
• Total Estimated Cost: $80,000 +$5000 per vehicle a total of $425,000 (5 vehicles)
• Estimated Annual Operating Expense: $6,500 per vehicle a total of $32,500 (5 vehicles)
The annual operating and maintenance expense is estimated to be $6,500 each and will be
supported by RICO funds (212).  The vehicle will be inspected for necessary repairs and 
preventative maintenance prior to being placed in the fleet by a contracted vendor.   County
Equipment Services will be authorized to manage the required vehicle emissions inspection.
Special Requests/Exemptions:
Also, approve exemption from markings and undercover plates for these 5 vehicles. The 
vehicles will all be un-marked, outfitted with undercover emergency equipment with RICO 
Funds and registered with Arizona “undercover” license plates. Per A.R.S. 38-538-03, 
approval by the Board is required for undercover registration and exemptions from markings,
including non-governmental license plates. In addition, Undercover registration is requested
to maintain safety and anonymity of the investigation cases for which it will be used.
In addition, pursuant to A.R.S ?42-17106(B), approve the following FY 2026 appropriation 
adjustments. 
1. Increase the Sheriff (D500) Sheriff RICO Fund (212) Operating (OPER) revenue and 
expenditure budgets by $200,000.
2. Decrease the Non-Departmental (D470) Non-Departmental Grants Fund (249) Operating
(OPER) revenue budget in the line “Miscellaneous Revenue” (4711) by $200,000.
3. Decrease the Non-Departmental (D470) Non-Departmental Grants Fund (249) Operating
(OPER) expenditure budget in the line “Unassigned Contingency” (4711) by $200,000.
These actions will have a net zero impact on the County-wide budget and do not alter the 
budget constraining the expenditures of local revenues duly adopted by the Board pursuant 
to A.R.S. ?42-17105.

charges for cell phones, and other supplies related to this grant agreement for MCSO to 
assist in patrolling portions of the Tonto National Forest, located in Maricopa County.

PURCHASE ORDER FOR IGA WITH ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH SERVICES 
FOR THE NURSE-FAMILY PARTNERSHIP FOR MATERNAL, INFANT AND EARLY 
CHILDHOOD HOME VISITING, HOME VISITATION PROGRAM
Approve Purchase Order (PO) MPO20260200 for Request for Proposal (RFP) contract 
CTR074350 Grant Award (RFGA2022-003-007) by the Arizona Department of Health 
Services (ADHS) to Maricopa County by and through its Department of Public Health 
(MCDPH) for the Nurse Family Partnership (NFP) to provide additional funding for the 
Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Home Visiting Services 
Program.  The PO was issued by ADHS on February 17, 2026. The total not-to-exceed 
amount is $1,127,430.76 for the period October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. The 
period of performance for the grant award is January 14, 2022, through January 13, 2027.
The Department of Public Health FY26 indirect rate is 16.69%; therefore, indirect costs are 
estimated at $161,254.77 all of which are recoverable. Departmental indirect rates are re-
established at the beginning of each fiscal year, and future indirect rates will be collected at 
the corresponding rates.
This is a competitive grant award, and it is unknown if it will be awarded in the future. There 
is no cash or in-kind match required. Should the grant cease, future ongoing cash
contributions are not required. The grant award is not a mandated function but provides a 
benefit to Maricopa County by providing evidence-based home visiting models to 
communities identified to be at risk. Grant revenues are not local revenues for the purpose 
of the constitutional expenditure limitation, and therefore expenditure of the revenues is not 
prohibited by the budget law. This Amendment does not alter the budget constraining 
expenditures of local revenues duly adopted by the Board pursuant to A.R.S. 42-17105. The 
overall grant budget will be adjusted as necessary to accommodate this grant through future 
reconciliation. Funding for this grant will be provided by ADHS and will not affect the County 
general fund.

TRANSFER OWNERSHIP OF RETIRING K-9 JOKER
Approve the transfer of ownership of retiring K-9, Joker #K174, to Steve Leitzell 
(Owner/Operator of Spectrum K9). 
K-9 Joker was originally purchased in February 2024 and is a dual-purpose, EOD detection 
and patrol apprehension canine. After completing MCSO basic canine academy, he was 
assigned to Sergeant Russell.
Working alongside Sgt. Russell on duty, several incidents were documented where Joker 
has redirected aggression back to his handler creating injury and unsafe working situation. 
After several attempts at re-training and advanced training it is recommended that Joker be 
retired for the safety of the public and his handler.  After assessment and exhausted efforts 
of additional training with Spectrum K9, in January 2026 it was determined that K9 Joker is 
too much of a liability to be placed as a dual-purpose canine for law enforcement.  
Steve Leitzell, Owner/Operator Of Spectrum K9, who provided additional training and 
assessment of K9 Joker, will accept full care and financial responsibility for Joker upon
adoption and will be asked to sign the Canine Release and Indemnification.

TRANSFER OWNERSHIP OF RETIRING K-9 YAVI
Approve the transfer of ownership of retiring K-9, Yavi #K171, to Lieutenant Garcia #S1434.
Lt. Garcia was Yavi’s originally assigned handler in 2023 beginning his service with MCSO. 
K-9 Yavi was originally purchased in 2023 and immediately completed the K-9 academy. 
K-9 Yavi worked alongside Deputy Godinez on patrol in MCSO District 1, 2 and 3 and 
assisted on several SWAT missions. Over the past 7 months Yavi has displayed many 
deficiencies including his area of search work, patrol work and drive to engage suspects, 
reluctance to show aggression, and avoidance during real life deployments. Yavi has shown
signs of stress in high conflict situations which involve skittishness, breaking down to back 
away from conflict, seeking constant reassurance, and complete avoidance of conflict during 
real life deployments, etc.
Due to the list of failures and lack of confidence, for the health and safety of Yavi and his
handler Godinez and the public we ask that Yavi be retired.
Lt. Garcia, as his original handler, has a bond with Yavi will accept full care and financial 
responsibility for Yavi upon adoption.  He will be asked to sign the Canine Release and 
Indemnification.
