The additional 3.5 hours of compensated time repre- sents the amount of time necessary for the at-home care per- formed by the K-9 school police officer while off-duty. The District and Federation agree that this additional compensa- tion is reasonable and sufficient for the amount of time spent housing, feeding, cleaning, handling, maintaining and being responsible for a police dog while off-duty. The K-9 school police officer shall only use the dog to perform the services described in the District’s policies and procedures. Nothing herein will be interpreted as restricting the District’s exclusive right to maintain and/or eliminate the K-9 pro- gram. The District and Federation agree and acknowledge that the canine owned by the District shall always remain the property of the District until the canine either “retires” or the program is ended. If the program is eliminated, the District, in its sole discretion, may consider selling the canine to the school safety officer. If the canine “retires” due to old age, injury, or illness, the K-9 school police officer will be per- mitted to purchase the canine from the District for one dollar ($1.00).
