Council approves contract with Humane Society of Cedar Creek Lake for animal shelter services
Summary
Council approved a contract with the Humane Society of Cedar Creek Lake to provide shelter services for city animals, covering an averaged 10 dogs per month at $4,166 per month and accepting additional animals as needed.
The Gunbarrel City Council voted to approve a contract with the Humane Society of Cedar Creek Lake (HSCCL) to provide animal shelter services for the coming year.
Under the agreement described by staff, HSCCL will accept animals from the city and provide humane treatment. The contract covers an average of 10 dogs per month at a rate of $4,166 per month; the 10-dog figure is averaged over a three-month period to accommodate seasonal variation. City staff said the humane society will accept additional animals above that average and requested the city call ahead when extra capacity is needed.
Council action: A motion to approve the contract passed on a roll-call vote: Burns — yes; Jacobs — yes; Edward — yes. The council did not attach further amendments to the contract at the meeting.
Discussion versus decision: The council’s approval was a formal contract action; staff clarified the monthly averaging approach and the per-month fee. No additional funding or scope changes were made beyond the terms presented.
Next steps: The city will execute the contract with HSCCL and coordinate intake procedures when animal volumes exceed the averaged allotment.
