NEW BUSINESS Consideration of 1992/1993 Contract for Animal Control Services, Greater Anoka County Humane Society - Mrs. Anderson explained that the City of Lino Lakes has been contracting with the Greater Anoka County Humane Society since 1987 for animal control services. In August, 1990, Lino Lakes hired a CSO person and one of the duties of the CSO is animal control. This has helped reduce the cost of contracted services and it is expected that the cost savings will continue. CSO, Jeanie Kenow reviewed the proposed contract, talked to the executive director at the Humane Society and recommended that two (2) items be deleted from the contract since the Humane Society has not abided by these items and the City has not tried to enforce them. Both items involve requiring the owner of a dog to purchase a dog license if the dog is not currently licensed. CSO Kenow will keep in monthly contact with the Humane Society to determine if an unlicensed dog is retrieved, and then visit all residents who have retrieved their dog and have not licensed the dog. Ms. Jana Webster, Executive Director of the Humane Society has noted six (6) changes in the contract. All items are clarification and do not represent a change in the contract. Mrs. Anderson recommended that the City Council accept the 1992/1993 Animal Control Contract. Council Member Elliott moved PAGE 11 155
