<br /> <br /> STAFF REPORT <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />TO: Mayor Keis and Members of the City Council <br /> <br />FROM: Joel Hanson, City Administrator <br /> <br />DATE: February 22, 2018 <br /> <br />RE: Animal Control Impound/Vet Services Contract <br /> <br /> <br />As you know, Hillcrest Animal Hospital is discontinuing their impound services arrangements with the <br />Contract Cities at the end of February. Mario Lee, our Animal Control Officer, has been diligently <br />working to find another provider for these services. The options were very limited. However, he was <br />able to secure an arrangement with the City of St. Paul. The services provided by this contract are very <br />similar to our past arrangement with Hillcrest. However, there will be an increase in fees charged as <br />indicated below: <br /> <br />Daily Boarding – Now $30 …………… Was $19 <br />Admin. Fee – Now $35……………..…. Was $12 <br />Disposal – Now $60………………….... Was $50 <br /> <br />Also included as part of this memo is a summary of Mario Lee’s efforts to find a new service provider. <br />While this information was from late January, the only positive response received was from the City of <br />St. Paul. <br /> <br />Initially, we are entering in to our own contract with St. Paul for these services. They have indicated <br />they will want to create a joint powers agreement covering all of the contracting jurisdictions by no <br />later than 1/1/2019. <br /> <br />Given the circumstances we are facing, staff recommends we enter in to a control for Impound <br />Services with the City of St. Paul based upon the document attached. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
