RIGHTON ETERINARY HOSPITAL September 21, 1987 To the City o4 .14e) Poe 2615 MISSISSIPPI ST. NEW BRIGHTON, AWN 55112 - . (612)636.106) l 45 To ltardard,l a all cities and to avoid evmptaints 640m animal owners picking up theln pets, 7 am making the 6ottowing suggestions, to be considered: I. That the Brighton Veterinary Hospital (BV10 eotteet all jeer, and then eUher Send the payments to City hall of have the AHtmal Control O56ie.m (or other city nepaesentative) pick them up. 2. That BVII be empowered to issue Licenses boa a& cities. The BVH would receive $2.00 pert License issued. This patee would be coveted by eithert uicnenetng the license gees by $2.00 or .ineteasing the lee by $2.00 only to those individ- uals purchasing the license through the BVII. Il the tatter approach is taken, the ownee would have the option of either paying the .incawsed lee ($2.00) at the BVII or going to the respective city halt to pay the tower lee. The second item has to do with an iltcrwse pea day in boarding charges 6or animals. The BVII at present charge less than one-hatl the board- ing charge Jot cats and target dogs a: compared to out standard client boarding chargm it has been years since the city prices have been ineawsed and we do not feel we can meet out expenses at the present da;ty lee ($3.00 lot cats and $4.00 jot dogsi. A per dab*incawse watt be instituted beginning Hovembet 1, 1987 which wilt be $4.00 6o1L cats and $5.00 4ot dogs. One Jinal item concem9 the adoption service ava{tabe. We suggest att cities to inctude in their nematettets, a paragraph encouraging adoptions. Thu, would accomplish two things. First, the cities are not changed eathanasin ano cremation lees when an animat is adopted. Second, the animals file is spared and a good pet is obtained at a tensonabte cost.
