Joint resolution approving the renewal of the D.A.S. Charitable Fund for the Preservation of Feline Animal Life grant and authorizing the emergency appropriation in the amount of $25,498.40 to be used by the Lake County Sheriff's Office (LCSO) Canine Unit.
Staff Summary
* The D.A.S. Charitable Fund is a trust that provides grant funds for the care and training of canines.
* D.A.S. funds cannot be used to fund vehicles or deputy salaries. Accordingly, the grant does not require an additional fund match and/or vehicles be added to the LCSO's fleet.
* The grant covers annual expenses for veterinary services, food, contractual kennel costs and training for four canines.
* The Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 grant of $25,498.40 represents an increase of 22 percent over the FY2017 grant of $20,882.85. If this grant is approved, the total FY2018 LCSO canine budget would be $82,162.66. The net cost would be $56,664.25.
