DATE : October .8, '1987 <br /> • TO: CITY, COUNCII24EP4BERS <br /> FROP-I: Don Hickerson, Chief of Police <br /> SUBJECT: Animal Control Options <br /> There are two options available for animal control that are . <br /> feasible. A comparison of costs is attached. I have reviewed <br /> the "pickup slips" for the first eight months of this- year, <br /> from Lake Animal Control, and computed the costs we would have <br /> experienced with each option for this eight months period. <br /> They would be : <br /> Lake Animal Control Animal Control & New Brighton City/ <br /> (Actual Costs) Management Inc. Animal Clinic <br /> $830 . 70 $1458. includes $1020 . <br /> 52 hrs of patrol <br /> @ $8 . 42 per hr. <br /> Animal Control and Management Inc . gave two separate options <br /> based on the amount of patrol time . The above figure is for <br /> the lesser patrol option. <br /> We have not contracted for random patrol :for �some ' time. All <br /> • animal at large and dog barking calls have been handled by the <br /> police . <br /> The difference between the two options is greater with less <br /> calls for service and less with more calls . <br /> I recommend that we contract with New Brighton City/Clinic for <br /> animal control if the New Brighton City Council approves the <br /> arrangements at their meeting on October 13 , 1987. <br /> The New Brighton Animal Clinic presently serves the following <br /> communities with a contract similar to the one proposed for us : <br /> New Brighton <br /> Roseville <br /> Moundsview <br /> Lauderdale <br /> Arden Hills <br /> Falcon Heights (Presently considering ) <br /> It should be noted that Animal Control & '*Management Inca contracts <br /> with a rendering plant for animal disposal while New Brighton <br /> Animal Clinic disposes of animals by cremation. <br /> • <br />
