SUMMARY STATEMENT:
On June 7, 2021, the LOT administrator was notified by one of the FY22 applicants, Valley County Search and Rescue (VCSAR), that the K-9 Unit programs which would have received the LOT
funds are now operating under a new organization called “Search and Rescue K-9s of Idaho” (SARKI) which is in the process of establishing their non-profit status. Staff understood from
this correspondence that this organization was replacing the Valley County Search and Rescue K-9 unit and therefore the LOT award should not move forward. Staff also believed in good
faith the person who sent the correspondence was authorized to speak on behalf of Valley County as it was the same person who had signed the LOT application and had been working with
city staff through the application process. At the June 25th special budget work session, the Council was presented with this information and Council directed staff to re-allocate the
VCSAR award to the Chamber of Commerce fireworks and the Manchester Ice Arena Zamboni repair. We have since learned that VCSAR still has an operating K-9 Unit and that the correspondence
sent to the city was not authorized by Valley County and the grant applications are still valid. Valley County asks that the Council reconsider their applications and fund them as originally
recommended by the LOT commission.
