Re: Animal Control Services Agreement
The current animal control service agreement with the Southeast Area Animal Control
Authority (SEAACA) expires on June 30, 2000. Dan Morrison, Executive Director for
SEAACA, forwarded the attached new agreement to our department and notified us that
some of the fees were increased by five per cent (5 %). The fees for animal control services
in the new agreement have been modified because of increases in operating costs. The
following is a comparison of unit costs of last year's rates and the proposed .rates:
Type of Service 1999-2000 Cost 2000-2001 Cost Change
Field Officer Service, per hour $40.44 $42.46 +5%
Shelter of live animals; per animal, per day $ 5.94 $6.23 +5%
Special holding, quarantine impounds, per $11.88 $12.47 +5%
animal, per day
Veterinary medical services $35.00 $30.00 -14%
Impoundment of livestock $25.00 No change
Use of special equipment, per hour $50.00 No change
Based on the performance by SEAACA in continuing to provide good service to businesses
and the City, I am recommending that the attached agreement (two originals) with SEAACA
be considered for approval by the City Council.
A copy of the agreement is also being forwarded to the City Attorney for review. If you have
any questions or require further information, please contact me.
