Kittrell, Assistant County Manager, ext. 2300 <br /> TELEPHONE NUMBERS: <br /> Hillsborough 732-8181 <br /> Chapel Hill 968-4501 <br /> Durham 688-7331 <br /> Mebane 227-2031 <br /> PURPOSE: To renew the annual contract between Orange County and the Animal Protection <br /> Society (APS). <br /> BACKGROUND: Each year,the County reviews and renews its agreement with the APS <br /> whereunder the APS operates and maintains the Orange County Animal Shelter on behalf of the <br /> County. The contract renewal for 1996-97 continues the provisions of prior years' contracts, but <br /> with a modification to paragraph 2F. This section previously made APS responsible to "Require <br /> citizens redeeming animals from the shelter to pay applicable reclamation and boarding fees <br /> established by County, and account for and remit same to County quarterly." Since the 1995-96 <br /> fiscal year, APS has retained the approximately $4,000 annual reclamation fees to help defray some <br /> of the animal shelter operating cost. The modification of paragraph 2F reflected in the updated <br /> contract would formalize this practice and provide for the APS to retain reclamation fees to partially <br /> offset shelter operating costs. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the updated <br /> contract with APS for the 1996-97 Fiscal Year. <br />
