Police Service Dog between the City of Tustin and Eric Kent (in his
individual capacity) so that Roky can live out the remainder of his days
with the Kent family.Fiscal Impact: Mr. Kent will pay the City the sum of
$1.00 for the transfer of ownership, and he will assume all future liability,
maintenance, and care.
