Committee approves three‑year animal control contract with Lakes Area Animal Control
Summary
The committee approved a three‑year contract with Lakes Area Animal Control for 2026–2028 with modest monthly increases; Police Chief John Davis and the city attorney reviewed the agreement and staff recommended approval.
The City of Brandon Personnel Finance Committee approved a three‑year animal control contract with Lakes Area Animal Control covering 2026 through 2028, with monthly fees rising modestly each year.
City Administrator Nick Royal presented the agreement and said Police Chief John Davis and the city attorney had reviewed it. Royal said John negotiated several of the finer points with contractor Mike O’Brien and that the vendor initially sought larger increases. The packet listed monthly amounts that staff described as: 3,263 (in 2025, for reference) and proposed monthly figures of about 3,361 for 2026, 3,462 for 2027 and 3,567 for 2028.
A committee member moved to approve the contract and the motion carried without recorded dissent in the transcript. Staff said the scope of services is listed in the contract packet and that the city would provide any requested clarifications at future meetings or in staff follow‑ups.
