Bartholomew County approves five-year animal control contract with Humane Society
Summary
The commissioners approved a five-year contract with the Bartholomew County Humane Society: $100,000 annually covering the first 125 animals and $950 per animal thereafter, funded from Commissioners' funds.
Bartholomew County Commissioners on Jan. 5 approved a five-year animal control services agreement with the Bartholomew County Humane Society that will run from 2026 through 2030.
Under the contract, the county will pay an annual one-time flat fee of $100,000 to the Humane Society by Jan. 31 to cover the first 125 animals housed or processed; for each animal beyond that threshold the county will pay an additional $950. Commissioners identified funding to come from the Commissioners' funds and approved the agreement by unanimous vote (motion by Chairman Tony London; second by Commissioner Carl Lienhoop).
The contract was among several service and vendor agreements approved at the meeting; commissioners recorded unanimous support throughout the session. The agreement specifies the per-animal overage fee and the annual flat fee but does not enumerate service-level details in the meeting minutes excerpt.
