DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
During the strategic planning workshop in January 2022, the Board provided consensus to construct a new facility as part of the County Capital Improvement Plan to allow for a centralized operation and improve the environment of the animals. At this time, construction of the new shelter has begun. The County recently received donations to finalize funding construction of the initial phases of the project which include 200 dog kennels.
To help fund additional improvements such as playgrounds, trails, shade structures, benches or additional kennels, County staff are collecting donations from the community. In order to limit the use of the donations, the finance department has recommended to present a resolution creating an account where donations can be deposited and used for this sole purpose.
BUDGET/IMPACT:
None.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
