Sol • MG S11 506 11th Avenue North Minneapolis, Minnesota 55411 Contract Animal Patrol Service for Municipalities December 1 , 1932 (612) 339-6669 Attn: City :_anager Dear t:layor and Council :%rembers, I am writing to inform you that KAPSI has undergone an ownership and management change. We believe we can now better serve the animal control need of your community: Past management was beset with extreme increases in overhead and hampered with the inability to raise capital through contract increases or other sources to meet these rapidly escallating costs . TheiAPSI facility was completely renovated in 1972 , and anew addition built in 1976. We are presently refreshing the entire facility including physical and mechanical enhancements . Vie will be instituting a new higher wage scale that we feel will increase the productivity and professionalism of the viAPSI employ- ees. We will be purchasing a new fleet ;;of trucks and updating our two-way radio equipment . These changes , a new capital base and new management philosophy will , we feel , accomodate our business needs and allow us to serve your community needs in a more effecient and professional manner . We are enclosing copies of our proposed 1983, contract for animal control service. You will note a new category in the contract entitled Base Fee for Administrative Services . It is necessary to add this category to our schedule of charges . As I Mentioned before, the expenses of the animal control business have greatly outpaced the income; regretfully, this is a necessary additional charge. Please execute the enclosed contract and return it to me before December 31 , 1982. If you have any questions about the contract or suggestions on how we may improve our service to your community , please contact me. I will be glad to personally visit your city and go over the contract and our proceedures. Thank you. Since ly, Fran ci Manager :t enclosures r :1
