The request of the Police Chief to retire Police Drug Detection Dog Falko from active police
service and give to his current handler was reviewed. Falko is 10 years old, equivalent to the age
of 70 human years. Falko has reached the stage in his life where he is no longer physically capable
of performing the rigors of police dog duties. The Police Chief is requesting permission to retire
Falko from active police service and give him to his current handler, Officer Robert Hewitt. Falko
has been the property of the City of Waterloo. Officer Hewitt understands that this will end the
city's financial involvement in the health, care and feeding of the dog. Any future expenses and
decisions regarding the dog's health will be solely the responsibility of Robert Hewitt. Moved by
Krizek, seconded by Getty that said request be approved. Ayes: Three. Motion carried.
The request of the Superintendent of Sanitation & Recycling to purchase a Dell computer was
reviewed. The MIS Manager has identified the need for expanded capabilities because the current
computer is not able to handle all the software used by the Sanitation Department. The existing
unit will be transferred to the Street Department to replace an older unit. On September 30,
1998, the MIS Manager received a quote in the amount of $1,807.00 to purchase a new Dell
Dimension V computer. Funding is available in the current budget for the purchase of a new
computer. The Computer Technical Review Committee reviewed and approved purchase of said
computer. Moved by Getty, seconded by Krizek that said request be approved. Ayes: Three.
Motion carried.

sewer fees he paid for the past five years. The property at 800 Kingsley Avenue has been charged
