Council approves interlocal agreement to continue low-cost spay/neuter clinic; West Lafayette share about $2,400 annually
Summary
The council approved Resolution 9-2026 to renew an interlocal cooperation agreement supporting the "For Precious Paws" low-cost spay/neuter clinic with Tippecanoe County and Lafayette; the total subsidy is $24,000 and West Lafayette pays 10% (about $2,400) annually.
The council voted to approve Resolution 9-2026 renewing an interlocal agreement with Tippecanoe County and the city of Lafayette to support "For Precious Paws," a low-cost spay and neuter clinic.
The mayor explained the agreement renews a joint program that assists with pet and feral sterilization and works through the county shelter. Councilors asked about costs and confirmed the city's share is 10% of an annual $24,000 subsidy, or about $2,400 per year. One public commenter asked whether formal audits or profitability analyses had been performed and where past analyses could be found; staff said the parties would work in good faith on any determination of ongoing subsidy if operation ever became profitable.
The clerk's roll-call showed six ayes and no nays; the resolution passed.
