A RESOLUTION OF THE MIAMI CITY COMMISSION, WITH ATTACHMENT(S),
CLASSIFYING ONE TRAKEHNER HORSE KNOWN AS "BIGSCHO," AS
"CATEGORY A" SURPLUS STOCK; FURTHER STIPULATING THAT SAID HORSE
BE DONATED TO DAVID PATTON AT NO COST TO THE CITY OF MIAMI AND THAT
SAID DONATION BE VALID AND EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, UPON THE
EXECUTION OF THE HORSE ADOPTION AGREEMENT, IN SUBSTANTIALLY THE
ATTACHED FORM, AND ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE RELEASE DOCUMENTS.
WHEREAS, the City of Miami's ("City's") Department of Police Mounted Patrol Detail has a horse
known as "BigScho," which has behavioral difficulties preventing this horse from being suitable for the
Mounted Patrol Detail and is consequently no longer beneficial to the City; and
WHEREAS, "BigScho" has a tendency to become excited, offensive and unruly in patrol
formation, which poses a safety issue; and
WHEREAS, the original donor was unreachable by telephone or through certified letter;
therefore, waiving all owner's rights and interest in the horse and further allowing the City's
Department of Police Mounted Patrol Detail to find a suitable home for the horse; and
WHEREAS, David Patton will keep the horse at a stable in the Redlands (Homestead, Florida)
that consists of 5 acres of land which would be ideal for a horse with "BigScho's" condition and has
indicated a desire to care for the horse; and
WHEREAS, David Patton has agreed to be responsible for all arrangements to transport
"BigScho" to said horse stable at no expense to the City;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI,
FLORIDA:
