County counselor summarizes Prairie Paws intake-and-shelter contract; no action taken
Summary
County Counsel Jacob Vance reviewed the Prairie Paws agreement covering animal intake and shelter services: five-year term with annual auto-renewal, 90-day termination, 60-day nonrenewal notice window, and an annual contract amount presented as approximately $37,207 with a 2.5% escalation; commissioners received the update and asked no immediate action.
Jacob Vance, Riley County Counselor, briefed the board on the county's agreement with Prairie Paws for animal intake (owner surrender, stray intake, impound) and shelter services. He said the agreement runs five years, auto-renews annually, includes a 90-day termination clause and a 60-day window before year-end to decline renewal.
On cost, Vance said the current contract figure is approximately $37,207 and noted a 2.5% annual escalation provision in the agreement. He framed the agreement as two-part (intake and shelter services) and reminded commissioners the county can terminate with notice if operational needs change.
Why it matters: the contract commits county funding for animal intake and shelter services; board direction or contract amendments would be required before nonrenewal or material changes.
