The contract has been <br />negotiated over a long period of time and funding has been included <br />in the budget for next year. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Adams, <br />SECONDED BY Commissioner Tippin, to approve <br />the corrected proposed contract, as <br />recommended by staff. <br />Under discussion, Commissioner Bird was glad the contract was <br />back where it should be because the Humane Society has done an <br />excellent job in the past. It had taken a lot of staff time from <br />both organizations to work it out. <br />Chairman Macht thought it would work out well. He felt staff <br />was making a greater effort to increase responsibility for pet <br />ownership, through increased licensing and enforcing the law for <br />rabies vaccinations. <br />12 <br />August 22, 1995 <br />
