The Madison County Board of Supervisors approved a Toppings Fund request to repair and repaint the interior animal run areas at the county animal shelter and to provide up to $1,000 for electrical materials to extend service to a utility building behind the shelter.

Annette, speaking for the Toppings committee, said the committee solicited three quotes for painting ceilings, walls, doors, trim, kennel flooring and recaulking of kennels to meet inspection standards and reduce cross-contamination disease risk. The committee recommended awarding the work to United Painting Plus, Incorporated for $7,830. County staff said facility maintenance will install the new electric service and requested up to $1,000 for materials. The committee reported a Toppings Fund balance of $10,710.02; the total requested for the painting and electrical materials was $8,830, which the committee said would leave about $18.80 remaining in the fund.

A motion to award the project to United Painting Plus and to approve up to $1,000 for electrical materials was seconded and approved by voice vote. No roll-call tallies were recorded in the transcript.
