Millis renews three-year animal-control agreement with Medway
Summary
Select Board approved a renewed three-year intermunicipal agreement with Medway for shared animal control services; Medway will contribute to costs of a new ACO vehicle under terms in the agreement.
The Select Board unanimously approved a renewed three-year intermunicipal agreement (IMA) with the town of Medway to continue shared animal-control services.
Town officials said the cooperative arrangement has been in place for many years and described it as a successful example of intermunicipal cooperation. The IMA includes an appendix specifying how Medway will contribute payments over the next three years toward the cost of a new animal-control vehicle that Millis approved at town meeting.
Board members praised the animal-control staff for responsiveness and public education efforts. Officials noted the ACOs handle a wide range of calls, from wildlife response to domestic-animal issues.
Ending: The town administrator said Millis will forward the signed IMA to Medway and expects Medway's approval within weeks; board members suggested featuring the animal-control team in a future municipal moment to highlight their work.
