Finance Committee - 07/10/2019 Page 9
Alderwoman Kelly
Alderman Klee brought up my concern was whether or not we need to add chickens to this contract because
they are not under impoundment or anything but | know they are in the NRO. So | think we should table as
well.
Alderman O’Brien
What is going to happen in the interim while we wait? Is there a terminus on this or is there an evergreen
clause or anything with this?
Mayor Donchess
Well | think we just tell the Humane Society that you know this isn’t being held up because of any issues with
tem and that we are intending to renew the contract. The only issue is what we do with language pertaining to
cats and ferrets. So | think they will be OK with that.
Alderman Klee
| did speak to Legal about that and we have gone as late as September pushing these contracts off in the past.
So this is not a brand new precedent that we are setting; we have done it in the past.
Alderman O’Brien
Follow up if | may. Thank you Mr. Mayor, it is basically a statement. What happened to Mr. Braun’s cat and
those of us that do love animals as myself | can understand. But at the same time we have to protect the
citizenry and if you do have an animal that is a stray that comes on to your property and you know what
animals do on other people’s properties.
There has to be a system that the tax payer can have a venting and an agency that they can contact and
everything. So as long as we can keep the status quo | am content and we can wait and peel the covers off of
this and get into it deeper which | think would be good. Thank you.
Alderwoman Kelly
Yes | would like to suggest for expediency sake that perhaps Alderman Klee and | work with Legal to come to
that meeting with language instead of trying to work it out in that meeting.
Mayor Donchess
Sounds good. So the motion is to hold in Committee and Alderwoman Klee and Alderwoman Kelly will
communicate with Legal about that meeting and about potential amendment to language in the current
ordinances. If there is no other discussion?
