DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND:
Canine “K9” Officers have played an important role in assisting the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office with law enforcement duties. In particular, the EDSO canines have provided a level of service to the community that deserves recognition.
ALTERNATIVES:
Canine “K9” Officers would remain unrecognized for their efforts to keep our community safe.
OTHER DEPARTMENT / AGENCY INVOLVED:
El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office
CAO - Facilities Division
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There will be no financial impact as the costs for the monument will be funded with private donations. All such donations will be brought to the Board of Supervisors for approval and acceptance of the donation prior to any purchases being made.
