County allocates $756,392 from Skiff Ranch split for animal shelter renovations
Summary
Commissioners reported $756,392 of Skiff Ranch funds will be used to increase operational capacity at Mitchell County Animal Shelters; architects will draw plans and the county will seek to keep work on budget and meeting state regulations.
County officials told the board they have $756,392 available from a Skiff Ranch split to expand and renovate Mitchell County animal shelter facilities and increase operational capacity.
County Manager Jay said commissioners visited the shelter and scoped initial plans with staff and the state office of budget management; an architect will be engaged to draw plans and to ensure the design meets state regulations. "So 1 of the next steps along the way is we'll be getting an architect to draw up the plans…" Jay said, adding the county will try to keep additions and renovations on budget.
A commissioner who reported on the animal rescue noted recent shelter metrics and fundraising: foster numbers, adoption goals and grants (including BISSELL Pet Foundation support) that help fund operations and facility improvements. The board discussed timelines and next steps for design, state compliance and construction oversight; no construction contract was awarded at the meeting.
