Todd County commissioners approved renewing the county’s animal-shelter contract with Christian County and agreed to an increased annual payment of $20,000, up from $15,000.
Speaker 1 noted the contract amount had increased and moved to approve the contract, which carried on a voice vote. During the discussion Speaker 1 said commissioners had heard troubling accounts about animal-shelter conditions from judges and others, but made clear the vote was to secure shelter services rather than reopen or operate a local facility.
