ON THE QUESTION
Amy Girard, Purchasing Manager
Hi, thank you. Amy Girard, Purchasing Manager. Director Bagley was not able to join us tonight. The Humane Society is
a contract that we do every year with them and it is at the same cost year over year of $99,081. They provide services for
housing animals, dogs, cats, and other small animals, adoption of stray animals, veterinarian services, owner location of
stray animals, and the quarantine of unvaccinated dogs and cats that have been bit by a person or another animal. They
also process the animals that have been found to be positive with rabies. Director Bagley receives a quarterly report on
the animals that come in and all the tracking that they do for us with this contract.
Mayor Donchess
This has been in place - we've had a contract with them for decades | think, right’?
