SUBJECT INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF FORT WORTH AND OTHER
TARRANT COUNTY MUNICIPALITIES FOR THE PURPOSE OF RABIES CONTROL
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to accept and execute Interlocal
Agreements with municipalities that adjoin the City of Fort Worth for the purpose of rabies control during
FY2000-2001.
DISCUSSION:
The Public Health Department, Animal Control Division has historically assisted some Tarrant County
municipalities in the processing and shipment of head specimens to the Bureau of Laboratories in
Austin for the purpose of rabies control. Rabies control includes the kenneling of impounded animals
and euthanization. The Texas Government Code, Chapter 791.011 provides that a local government
may contract with another to perform "governmental functions and services". Under this statute, the
City's Public Health Department, Animal Control Division may provide animal impoundment,
euthanization and disposal services to a municipality. The cities of Benbrook and Kennedale currently
contract with the City of Fort Worth to provide processing and shipment of specimens for testing in
Austin. Municipalities desiring to contract for any of these services will be required to renew the
agreement annually. Municipalities contracting with the City will pay for services in accordance with the
fees si-iown below:

The City's Animal Care and Control Center will accept delivery of dogs, cats, ferrets, or non-prohibited
animals and wild animals in cages befinreen the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. daily. Pet owners
reclaiming their animals from the Animal Care and Control Center will be required to provide proof of
ownership of the animals, present a photo identification, and pay the appropriate fees for reclamation.
Furthermore, pet owners who live in the City of Fort Worth whose animals are impounded in other
municipalities and brought to the Animal Care and Control Center will be required to purchase City
registration tags for their pets. Such animals will be required to be altered in compliance with the City's
mandatory spay/neuter program. Boarding fees for pets reclaimed by their owners will be paid by the
owners, and not the contracting municipality. Upon delivery to the center, a fee for euthanization and/or
disposal will be charged for wild animals that are euthanized or relocated, as well as other animals that
are euthanized.
The City of Fort Worth shall have the right to terminate this agreement without cause upon thirty (30)
days written notice to the contracting municipality. Staff recommends approval of this interlocal
agreement procedure.
