The Tipton Common Council approved the 2025 contract for animal services with the Hittiput County Humane Society and authorized Council President Crane to execute the agreement on behalf of the city. City staff told the council there was no executed contract yet and that the draft returned from the humane society had been edited principally to reduce the annual payout from $28,000 to $25,000 to align with the current municipal budget. Staff said the other contract terms remain unchanged. A council member asked whether the council must "accept or allow" execution of the contract at the reduced amount; the council later moved and seconded approval of the contract and the motion passed on a voice vote. Council President Crane was authorized to sign the contract with the Hittiput County Humane Society. City staff said they would revisit the contract amount after budget adoption and make further adjustments as necessary. No other substantive contract changes were reported during the meeting.
