Assistant Animal Control Officer S. Goodell reported to the committee that adoptions in January were down and provided a brief update on the county’s puppies program. Goodell said animal‑control staff completed a five‑hour online 'Fear Free' course and that he is learning the county MUNIS financial software system.
Committee members held a lengthy discussion about a proposed rate increase in the 2025–2030 Animal Control contract with the towns; the minutes record debate but no formal vote on that contract rate change at this meeting. Board Chair Brick also asked for an update on a separate Town of Wales request for animal‑shelter services, which Goodell said the department is still evaluating. No final action on the Town of Wales request was recorded.
