Financial Impact:
The funds for the requested action are currently held in Account 301355 - Assigned Departments. Animal Services’ portion of that account is from prior year revenue.
Background Information:
The Animal Care Center recently had to replace three exterior doors leading into the dog adoption and holding kennel areas that had become damaged over the years. The doors had developed rust that was eating through the bottom and exposing sharp, rusty edges.
The two turfed outside play and exercise yards were in need of new concrete pads due to tripping hazards created by dogs digging under the gates and damaging the footings.
These conditions presented a safety issue to the public, county staff and animals which warranted the need for replacement.
