Mayor Donchess
Director Bagley are you on here?
Bobbie Bagley, Public Health Division Director
Yes good evening Mayor.
Mayor Donchess
| assumed you were under the weather or whatever. You are under the weather.
Bobbie Bagley, Public Health Division Director
| am under the weather.
Mayor Donchess
Well could you tell the committee about the contract?
Bobbie Bagley, Public Health Division Director
Yes, Sir. So the contact that we have with the Humane Society is for them to provide services for housing
animals and dogs, cats, ferrets and chickens if they're found. They also provide quarterly updates for us on all
of the services that provide for those animals when they are housed at their facility. This is a contract that
we've had in place for a number of years. The Humane Society has done a fantastic job with helping us to
maintain and take and house on these animals once they're brought in and they also try to find homes for them
as well.
Mayor Donchess
All right and this is, of course, a contract that has been we've had with the Humane Society for many years — at
least 20 | think probably more. Any discussion or questions?
Alderman Klee
Thank you very much Mr. Mayor. Director Bagley we say chickens but we don't mean roosters, correct? They
did not pick up the roosters that are wandering around or in someone's yard. They don't pick them up for
someone, is that correct?
Bobbie Bagley, Public Health Division Director
That is correct.
Alderman Klee
Thank you.
Alderwoman Lu
Thank you. | don't know whether anyone from Humane Society is available. | had a couple of questions about
our services. | wondered like how many cats and dogs we actually taken from the streets every year. But if
he's not available and you don't know that, then | can certainly contact him tomorrow.
