Harlingen approves $127,000 increase to humane society contract
Summary
The Harlingen City Commission approved an amendment adding $127,000 to the city's contract with the local humane society, bringing the minimum annual funding for the animal shelter to $287,000 under a multi-year agreement that expires in 2022.
The Harlingen City Commission voted to amend the 1996 contract with the local humane society to add $127,000 in funding, bringing the contract's minimum annual amount to $287,000.
City staff told commissioners the added funds are included in the budget approved the prior day and recommended the amendment be approved. The contract amendment covers operation of the deceased-animal shelter and is part of a three-year agreement scheduled to expire in 2022.
Members of the humane society were present at the meeting and received recognition from the commission before the vote. A motion to approve the amendment was made and seconded; the commission called the question and the motion carried.
The commission did not discuss changes to service requirements or staffing in detail during the vote; staff presented the amendment as a budgeted item and recommended approval.
The contract amendment takes effect after the mayor signs the document and the city executes the amendment as authorized by the motion.
The commission moved on to other agenda items after completing the vote.
