Contractor seeks 20% increase for Cloverdale animal control; city considering multi-year spread
Summary
The animal-control contractor proposed a 20% rate increase; staff suggested spreading the increase over several years and restoring limited services such as periodic dog-obedience training; a final contract will be returned when negotiated.
Staff told the committee that negotiations with the animal-control contractor are ongoing after the vendor proposed a 20% increase over the prior contract. Staff said they proposed spreading that increase over four or five years to reduce the immediate budget impact and asked whether some services cut from the prior agreement, such as training, could be restored on a limited basis (for example, dog-obedience sessions a few times per year).
Staff also said the contractor increased service days (from five to seven days coverage) and remains available on-call for weekends. Staff will return with a finalized contract when negotiations conclude; no motion or vote was recorded in the committee transcript.
