months developing a revamped Animal Control Title and related contract for animal control

change: 1)the Society will provide all animal control services including 2 FTE patrols
for impoundment/rescue, Society facilities for intake, kenneling, licensing, adoptions
and education; 2) Dangerous dog laws have been clarified and the hearing process
streamlined; 3) license fees for un-neutered dogs and cats will increase to $35/yr; and

capital facility needs that the City will need to address if we retain animal control.
