However, this money may be reimbursed <br />to the City from any monies that are collected by the program. <br />Police, The Council was agreeable to the Police, Fire Marshall and Protective <br />Fire Marshall, Inspection portions of the 1986 budget. <br />Protective <br />Inspection Mr. Fahey pointed out the increase in the Hospitalization portion of <br />the Protective Inspection budget. Fahey stated that Mr. Nagovsky's <br />hospitalization was to be reimbursed in the same amount that is paid <br />for other employees' hospitalizationr and no more. <br />Animal In discussing the Animal Control portion of the budget, Mrs. Scalze <br />Control reported that she has been informed that when the dog catcher picks <br />up a dog, it is to be kept 5 days and then the animal goes to <br />animal research. The animal control agency is paid a lot of money <br />for large dogs that are turned over for research. <br />The problem arises in that Scalze has been informed that the dog <br />may not be kept on the premises of the animal control agency's nearest <br />facility. The dog may be transferred to several facilities during <br />the five-day period and thus makes it more difficult for the owner <br />to locate the animal. <br />Council discussed the possibility of the animal control agency <br />informing the City when it picks up a large animal and where that <br />animal will be located. <br />The City Clerk was instructed to send a letter to the agency requesting <br />that they adivse the City when they pick up a dog and where the animal <br />will be located during the five-day period. <br />Page -12- <br />
