Webster County board extends animal control contract three months to allow sheriff, police review
Summary
Supervisors approved a three-month extension of Webster County's animal control agreement with Webster County Animal Protection LLC to give the sheriff and police departments time to review contract terms; the motion was amended to extend "as amended" and passed by voice vote.
The Webster County Board of Supervisors voted to extend the county's animal control contract with Webster County Animal Protection LLC for three months to allow input from the sheriff and local police departments and to give those agencies time to press for changes or request a bid if issues remain.
A supervisor said the extension would "give them that opportunity, to do that. And then if they don't get their issues worked out, then we can put it up for bid." The chair restated the motion: "So the motion would be a approve a 3 month renewal based on the last contract ... change it to a 3 month extension," and the board amended the motion to reflect the contract "as amended" (referring to earlier 2023 amendments) before approving it by voice vote.
Discussion clarified that the extension would continue the contract under its currently amended terms rather than reverting to the original 2022 agreement; supervisors asked that the person in charge of animal control be comfortable with the short extension and its conditions. The vote carried without further conditions recorded in the transcript.
No dollar amount for the short extension was discussed during the item; the board directed staff to allow the sheriff and police an opportunity to review terms and to report back if substantive changes are proposed.
