The need for a K-9 <br />unit in an enforcement capacity in Orono is not <br />substantial. For those times when a K-9 unit is <br />needed there are several units available from <br />police departments in adjacent cities. It is <br />staff's recommendation that the staff and dollar <br />resources of the police department are better used <br />in other areas rather than for a K-9 unit. <br />The major expenditure increases reflected in the <br />proposed General Fund budget are as follows: <br />1. <br />2. <br />3 . <br />4 . <br />5. <br />6 . <br />7. <br />8 . <br />9. <br />10 . <br />11. <br />12 . <br />13 . <br />LMCD dues - $7,000. <br />LOGIS charges - $6,000. <br />Liability and property insurance $7,800. <br />Elections - $6,490.

(These fees are recouped <br />by ’■he city from the developers.) <br />Wages and Insurance <br />a. ) Police - $24,180.
