PARAGRAPH 5 - MRS. NOLTE FELT THE WORDING THAT ALL IMPROVEMENTS WOULD <br />REVERT MIGHT BE A BIT BROAD AND WISHED TO KNOW IF THAT WOULD INCLUDE <br />FURNITURE, CAGING, ETC, IT WAS EXPLAINED THAT, AS IN ANY STANDARD <br />LEASE, IT WOULD MEAN ONLY ANYTHING FIRMLY ATTACHED TO THE STRUCTURE, <br />IT WAS NOT FELT THAT THIS WORDING NEEDED TO BE CLARIFIED FURTHER. <br />COMMISSIONER WODTKE ASKED WHERE IN THE LEASE DOES THE COUNTY <br />HAVE THE ASSURANCE THAT THE HUMANE SOCIETY WILL PROVIDE SPACE TO BE <br />USED FOR ANIMAL CONTROL. HE COULD NOT AGREE TO GIVE FIVE ACRES OF <br />PUBLIC LAND TO THEM FOR 40 YEARS UNLESS WE HAVE SOMETHING ON A CONTRACT- <br />UAL BASIS THAT WOULD AGREE THEY ARE GOING TO PROVIDE THIS NEEDED SERVICE <br />IN SOME WAY. HE NOTED THAT IS BASICALLY WHY WE ARE ASSISTING THE <br />HUMANE SOCIETY AND FUNDING THEM AT THE LEVEL WE ARE NOW. <br />CHAIRMAN LYONS AND COMMISSIONER SCURLOCK ALSO AGREED THAT <br />SOMEWHERE WE MUST HAVE JUSTIFICATION AND SOME ASSURANCE THAT FOR A <br />CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME WE CAN EXPECT THAT SERVICE, <br />MRS. NOLTE STATED THAT THEY ARE NOT FUNDED BY THE COUNTY; <br />THEY HAVE A CONTRACT WITH THE COUNTY AND ARE PAID FOR A SERVICE THEY <br />PROVIDE; AND THEY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GENERATE THEIR OWN FUNDS FOR THE <br />BUSINESS THEY DO AS A HUMANE SOCIETY. SHE CONTINUED THAT THE HUMANE <br />SOCIETY DOES NOT INTEND TO DROP ANIMAL CONTROL, BUT POINTED OUT THAT <br />IF THERE SHOULD BE WHAT THEY WOULD CONSIDER UNREASONABLE DEMANDS IN <br />FUTURE YEARS, NOTHING HAS BEEN LEFT TO THEIR CONTROL OR INTERPRETATION <br />IN REGARD TO SOLVING THE PROBLEM, <br />DISCUSSION CONTINUED AS TO WHETHER THE HUMANE SOCIETY WOULD <br />BE WILLING TO SAY THEY WOULD CONTINUE TO ACCEPT COUNTY ANIMALS IN THEIR <br />SHELTER FOR THE NEXT 40 YEARS, AND MRS. CARLSON FELT THEY WOULD, PRO- <br />VIDED THEY COULD MAINTAIN A CERTAIN QUALITY OF SERVICE. THE POSSI- <br />BILITY OF GUARANTEEING THE SERVICE FOR TEN YEARS AND HAVING A TEN YEAR <br />LEASE WAS MENTIONED. MRS. NOLTE TALKED ABOUT FUTURE PROBLEMS, THE <br />POSSIBILITY THEY WILL NOT HAVE ENOUGH SPACE, AND THE FACT_THAT THEY DO <br />NOT WANT TO GIVE UP A $300,000 STRUCTURE. <br />JUN It( JSP -1 <br />49 <br />4.00K - - -' r3 G 72® <br />
