Summary

The council approved an increase in the city's annual payment to the Hill Country Humane Society from $10,000 to $12,000 for FY2025–26 to cover rising expenses for animal intake and care.

Council approved an amended animal-shelter adoption center agreement with the Hill Country Humane Society that raises the city's annual payment from $10,000 to $12,000 for fiscal year 2025–26. City staff said the increase reflects rising operating costs at the shelter and follows discussions with shelter representatives.
