Commission approves Macomb County animal‑shelter agreement and routine payments
Summary
The commission approved an agreement with Macomb County Animal Shelter Services (county‑set fees, non‑negotiable) and approved purchases and payment of invoices, including street‑sweeper parts tied to a rear‑end accident that staff said insurance is pursuing for reimbursement.
The Mount Clemens City Commission approved an agreement with Macomb County Animal Shelter Services and authorized routine purchases and invoice payments at the meeting.
Staff explained the county sets shelter fees, which are adjusted for inflation and to reflect Michigan Department of Agriculture required holding times; those fees apply countywide and individual municipalities cannot negotiate different rates. The commission moved to approve the attached county shelter agreement and the motion passed on roll call with unanimous support recorded.
On routine invoices, Commissioner Mener asked whether recent street‑sweeper repair costs resulted from the vehicle being rear‑ended and whether insurance would cover reimbursement. Staff confirmed the parts cost stemmed from that accident and that the city’s claim is being pursued with the other party’s insurance carrier. The commission approved purchases and payment of invoices as presented.
No contract opt‑out or alternate shelter option was adopted; staff noted that providing shelter services in‑house is not feasible for the city given current capacity.
The meeting then moved to other business and adjourned.
