Supervisors ask King William to reduce administrative fee in amended animal shelter agreement
Summary
The board discussed revisions to an animal shelter agreement and asked the County Administrator to request King William lower an administrative fee increase (recorded as rising from 3% to 10%) to 6% before approving the amended agreement; Supervisor Burns also raised concerns about oversight of expenditures.
The King and Queen County Board of Supervisors reviewed a draft Amended and Restated Animal Shelter Agreement during its Nov. 15 meeting and directed the County Administrator to ask King William, which would serve as fiscal agent, to reduce an administrative fee increase before the board will approve the agreement.
The minutes record that the county received a draft agreement earlier and that subsequent communications resulted in clarification of the formula for repaying capital expenditures. Supervisor J. M. Burns raised concerns about King William overseeing expenditures and questioned a proposed increase in the administrative fee charged to King and Queen for King William acting as fiscal agent; the minutes compare the fee rising from 3% to 10% in the draft.
The board reached a consensus to have the County Administrator ask King William to reduce the administrative fee to 6% before bringing the agreement back for approval. The minutes do not record a formal vote implementing the agreement; rather, they record the board’s direction to seek a lower fee.
The minutes do not provide further financial detail on the repayment formula or an implementation timeline for the agreement; the board requested the reduction in the fee as a condition for approval.
