AppR V ED eYCO s TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council EP j City of Owasso y cit 2011 FROM: Sherry Bishop Assistant City Manager SUBJECT: Resolution 2017 -16 Approving Fees for Animal Control Services DATE: September 15, 2017 BACKGROUND: A list of all rates and fees was provided to the council at the June 13, 2017, work session as an introduction to a series of discussions over the next several months relating to recommended changes. Recommended fee changes fall into three categories: Existing Fees - Existing fees that are recommended to be increased or decreased; New related fees - Fees that are related or similar to existing fees, but would change or restructure those charges or would be a new charge for services; and Completely new fees - New fees for services that have previously been free or unregulated. Three areas of service fee changes have been included in current discussion: animal control and ambulance service, and community development /building services. ANIMAL CONTROL: The Animal Control division is proposing to increase one fee, decease one fee and to eliminate one fee. The Animal Control division charges fees to the public for the capture, housing, care and adoption of dogs and cats. The adoption fees established in 2007 include the vaccinations and sterilization (spay or neuter) required as part of the adoption of an animal. The current fee for adoption of a dog is $110.00 and adoption of a cat is $75.00. The $110.00 fee for dog adoption is more than others in the surrounding area, so staff is recommending the decrease of this fee to $75.00. The current fee to drop off a deceased animal at the Animal Control shelter is less than the actual cost for the cremation. Staff recommends that this fee be increased from $10.00 to $15.00. In past years, Animal Control had animal traps available for loan. A deposit was required for the use of an animal trap. Traps are no longer available from the Animal Control shelter. The rate for trap deposits can be eliminated. Resolution 2017 -16 establishes fees for all animal control services with an effective date of November 1. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Resolution 2017 -16 establishing fees and charges for Animal Control services.
