County staff told the council the Humane Society for Greater Lafayette, a tenant at the former extension office property now used as an animal shelter, owes the county $105,826.38 in utilities that were not transferred to the tenant's name after the lease began in August 2024. The county representative said the balance includes water, sewage, electric, gas and camera-monitoring charges and asked the council and commissioners to authorize a repayment arrangement.
