Lincoln County weighs edits to animal-control agreement with Libby; proposes spay/neuter funding
Summary
With the current animal-control interlocal agreement with the City of Libby expiring June 30, commissioners discussed keeping the $25,000 contribution, adding $2,500 for spay/neuter, and possibly directing funds to the sheriff's office pending legal review.
Commissioners reviewed the existing animal-control interlocal agreement with the City of Libby, which currently provides $25,000 to the county general fund for contract services. The contract expires June 30, 2026. The board discussed whether to keep the $25,000 figure for the coming year and whether the county should ask the city to contribute an additional $2,500 to support the spay/neuter clinic.
One commissioner moved that the county keep the contract amount as-is for this year but add language asking the city to supplement the spay-and-neuter effort with $2,500. Commissioners also discussed whether the $25,000 should flow to the county general fund or be designated for the sheriff's office budget; they asked the county attorney to advise and postponed formal adoption until legal review is complete.
The board agreed to revise the interlocal agreement language and return with a draft for City of Libby review at the next meeting.
