Commissioners approve revised veterinary services contract for animal services at $4,500 per month
Summary
The board approved a revised veterinary services contract that reduces monthly pay from $5,000 to $4,500 and allows for flexible service days rather than fixed weekdays.
County staff requested approval of a revised veterinary services contract for animal services. County staff said the contract was adjusted to increase scheduling flexibility: instead of three fixed service days (previously Monday–Wednesday), the veterinarian will provide three days per week without specific set days; scheduled absences are to be made up. Staff reported the prior contract paid $5,000 per month and the new contract rate is $4,500 per month.
Dr. Oglesby (the veterinarian) was present for questions. Commissioners indicated they were satisfied with the contract changes and the procedure followed. A motion to approve the $4,500 monthly contract was made, seconded, and carried by voice vote; no roll-call record of individual votes was provided in the transcript.
Why it matters: The change reduces the county’s monthly cost for veterinary services and gives the provider scheduling flexibility while maintaining three service days per week.
Ending: The county will proceed with the revised contract; staff indicated the matter is concluded unless future problems arise.
