County council amended and approved intergovernmental agreements for animal control services to run Sept. 1, 2025–Aug. 31, 2030, with a five‑year renewal option.

The Public Safety Committee amended and approved intergovernmental agreements that will let the county’s Division of Animal Control provide animal control services to participating Summit County municipalities for a five‑year term beginning Sept. 1, 2025.
