From all accounts, the arrangement has worked well. The 2022 proposed contract has been reviewed and compared to the 2021 agreement. The language is the same with the exception a municipality is not given the option of contracting for domestic dogs only; the Police Department would only call about stray dogs. What the contract does allow, however, is bring in a stray cat an officer finds that is sick or injured, or a house cat to "use up" the rest of the contract in the later part of the year if, for example, only 2 dogs have been brought in and a litter of kittens is found. The Humane Society has offered a per animal option at a cost of $500 per animal. As it has in the past, the agreement allows us to choose the level of service with the Society. Last year, we selected option #1, which includes the drop off of up to 5 domestic stray animals for a lump sum of $1100. Any animal in excess of the 5 would be $250. The Contract for 2022 would show an increase in fees to $1300 lump sum which covers 5 domestic strays and $300 per animal over 5. As a reference, below is a listing of the numbers of stray dogs collected by the Columbus Police Department over the past couple of years. 2021: 1 (year to date) 2020: 2 2019: 3 2018: 3 2017: 5 LIST ALL SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION ATTACHED: Proposed agreement with Dodge County Humane Society for stray animals for 2022 ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Consider and discuss agreement, forward to next Regular meeting  2022 STRAY ANIMAL CONTRACT WHEREAS, the City of Columbus desires to enter into a contract (“the Annual Contract”) with The Dodge County Humane Society, Inc. for the care of stray and domesticated animals; and WHEREAS, the Dodge County Humane Society is willing to agree to contract with the City of Columbus to provide such services for the term and subject to the terms and conditions described below; NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the City of Columbus (hereafter referenced as “the municipality”) hereby enters into the following agreement with The Dodge County Humane Society, Inc.
