County manager: stray facility contract ending May 9; sheriff secures radios while county considers service costs
Summary
County Manager Thomas Weaver said the county’s contract with an IGSA stray facility will end May 9 after the partner could not meet required veterinary services; the sheriff found grant-funded radios but the county will be asked to cover monthly service estimated at about $300.
County Manager Thomas Weaver told the commission March 3 that the county’s arrangement with the IGSA stray-animal facility will end on May 9 because the provider could not meet the county’s needs for veterinary care and euthanasia. Weaver said the county and the partner had discussed keeping the facility but that necessary services were not available.
On equipment, Weaver said the sheriff located grant assistance for radios so the county would receive hardware at no cost but would pay monthly service fees. The minutes record the estimated monthly service at about $300, with the equipment arrangement delaying any county service payments until the next fiscal year; the sheriff also sought a letter from the board to support additional grant outreach.
Commissioners expressed support for the sheriff pursuing outside funding and thanked him for finding assistance; the commission asked staff to add the radio-service agreement to a future agenda for final consideration of the recurring cost.
