Board approves Homeward Bound clerical contract and hears sheriff on kenneling RFP
Summary
Commissioners approved a 6‑month amendment to continue clerical animal‑control services with Homeward Bound Pets and heard the sheriff report that a kenneling RFP was published; discussion focused on licensing, chip practices and potential county facilities.
The board approved Amendment No. 2 to the agreement with Homeward Bound Pets (Board Order 20‑037) for clerical services at $7,507 per month, retroactive to July 1, 2026. Commissioners asked whether that amount covers licensing and tracking animals brought into the county; county staff said Homeward Bound's clerical work includes processing license applications, redemption proceedings and renewal reminders for animals already in their database.
Sheriff (unidentified by name in the transcript) reported that the kenneling request for proposals (RFP) was published and emphasized the county's statutory obligations to post and advertise to reunite dogs with owners. He said multiple providers could cooperate to meet contractual obligations and that the county has evaluated several county‑owned properties for a potential centralized kennel, but that zoning, cost and long‑term funding remain challenges. "We are asking them to utilize that RFP process to really define what it is they're capable of doing," he said.
