County approves intergovernmental animal-control agreement with municipalities
Summary
Fayette County approved an updated intergovernmental agreement to provide animal control services with municipal partners; States Attorney said municipalities will share costs per capita and many towns have approved or are close to approval.
Fayette County approved an updated intergovernmental agreement (IGA) for animal control services at the July 14 meeting. States Attorney Brenda Mathis said the IGA had been circulated to municipalities; Vandalia and others have approved it, Brownstown was expected to approve, and Ramsey was awaiting clarifications from county staff and Animal Control leadership.
"Brenda Mathis stated changes made, gone to all municipalities; Vandalia approved, received St. Elmo’s today," the meeting minutes say. Mathis recommended the board approve the agreement, noting municipalities will share costs on a per-capita basis while the county pays the bulk of the expense. Scott Workman moved to approve the item; Dan Lutz seconded, and the motion passed.
The agreement includes updated roles for the county and participating municipalities and reflects feedback about Animal Control leadership. The county will record the executed IGA in county records and municipalities will have responsibility for local implementation under the terms agreed.
