AGREEMENT This Agreement is entered into between the City of Saint Paul, a home rule charter city (“CSP”) and the City of Little Canada, a municipal corporation (“Little Canada”) on this 28th day of February, 2018. WHEREAS, the City of Little Canada is in need of housing for impounded animals; and WHEREAS, the Saint Paul Animal Control facility has the capacity to house additional impounded animals beyond those impounded in Saint Paul; and WHEREAS, pursuant to Minn. Stat. §471.59, subd. 10, a governmental unit may enter into agreements with another governmental unit to perform services or functions it is authorized to provide for itself; Now, therefore, parties agree as follows: 1. Services. CSP Animal Control will serve as the impound facility for Little Canada and will provide these services: a. During business hours, receive impounded animals and completed paperwork containing information on the basis for the impound. b. When the facility is closed, provide access to the facility for after-hours drop off. c. Provide suitable and humane care for the animals while at the facility. Determine whether medical care is required and if so provide such care to a maximum of $200 per animal. d. Handle release of animals to their owners, if claimed. e. For animals which are not reclaimed, take ownership after the applicable holding time required by Little Canada. CSP will have sole discretion whether to dispose of the animal. CSP may refuse to accept an animal for impound which is diseased or rabid and the animal cannot be impounded without serious risk to the persons attempting the impound or to the other animals being held at the facility. Such animals may be immediately humanely euthanized. CSP will only accept animals impounded by Little Canada employees acting in their official capacity. Cats may only be brought to CSP Animal Control if the cat is sick, injured, abandoned, or at imminent risk of becoming sick, injured or abandoned, such as orphaned kittens, cats stuck in sewers, etc. Owners wishing to surrender cats, or residents concerned about outdoor cats that are apparently healthy must be directed toward nongovernmental resources.
