CITY SECRETARY CONTRACT NO. 46228

contract in accordance with Article 4 of the Contract; and

the provision of veterinary services for animals at the shelter it will be necessary for the City to
retain, by contract, subcontract, employment or other means, some or all of the Contractor's
veterinarians to continue to provide services at the shelter;
WHEREAS, Article 14 of the Contract has provisions for the "non-solicitation of
employees" of either party during the term and for one year after termination of the contract

shelter. In order to avoid service disruptions the parties wish to delete Article 14;

authorized representatives, enter into the following agreement to amend the Contract:
