Revisions to Fee schedule: Ordinance No. 97-165 Council member Conlin asked about the $4,000 claim for Humane Society Companion Animal Impounding for 10/01-12/31/05. Finance Director Bouthilet said the fees collected help offset our costs which are all the animals, but the majority of cats are unclaimed. The City bears the whole cost of impounding. By law the humane society has to hold the animal for a number of days and the City has to pay for that. Most of the dogs are claimed and 60 percent of cats are coming from Cimarron. Council member Conlin asked if the new code enforcement officer could enforce the licensing. The City Administrator responded when hiring a CEF, they will take a close look at this. The Council will receive an update on options which have been discussed with the City Administrator and Finance Director at the next Council workshop. The Finance Director reported that most of the fee increases are due to inflation. Council member DeLapp stated inflation should not be used as an excuse to pay more money.
