The contract will be in effect for three years, beginning October 1, 1994 and ending September 30, 1997. DISCUSSION: On September 17, 1991 City Council approved M&C C-13059 authorizing a three year contract with the Humane Society of North Texas for animal kenneling services at the rate of $3.00 per day per animal. On December 21, 1993 City Council approved M&C C-14123 authorizing the City Manager to execute an amended contract with the Humane Society, increasing the kenneling fees from $3.00/day/animal to $4.32/day/animal. This increase became retroactive to October 1, 1993. On June 29, 1994 the Health Department received a written request from the Humane Society to increase kenneling fees from $4.32/day/animal to $5.50/day/animal. On July 21, 1994 both the Humane Society budget and the Animal Control Division budget were reviewed by members of the Animal Shelter Advisory Committee. The committee members agreed that the Humane Society could provide kenneling services at a lower cost than the City, and therefore recommended that the City Council approve the requested fee increase to $5.50 per day per animal, to become effective in FY94-95; $5.75 per day for FY95-96; $6.00 per day for FY 96-97. a Printed on recycled paper City of .F® Worth, Texas 0 Mayor and Council Communication DATE REFERENCE NUMBER LOG NAME PAGE 10/04/94 **C-145041. 50HUMANE 2 of 7 I SUBJECT CONTRACT FOR ANIMAL CONTROL KENNELING SERVICES BY THE HUMANE SOCIETY OF NORTH TEXAS FOR THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT Members of the Animal Shelter Advisory Committee,the Humane Society of North Texas and City staff all agree on the following changes to Contract Amendment No. 2: 1.
