2. I MOVE TO RECOMMEND TO CITY COUNCIL TO ENTER INTO A CONTRACT
WITH KING COUNTY FOR ANIMAL CONTROL SERVIES FOR THE TIME PERIOD
OF JULY 1, 2010 TO DECEMBER 31, 2012.
King County has terminated its animal control contract with Kent and other king
County cities effective June 30, 2010. King County has provided Kent with a new
21/2 year contract that continues animal control services beginning July 1"'. Kent
staff has been participating on various committees to research options for animal
control. The research has centered around continuing a contract with King
County, creating a sub-regional model or managing animal control on our own.
Because of limited or no alternative sheltering option in South King County, it is
difficult to develop a sub-regional option. Staff will review the options and
provide a recommendation to the Operations Committee
Higgins moved to recommend that city council move the contract for king county for
animal control services for the time period of 3uly 1, 2010 to December 31, 2012 to
Other Business on the May 4 Council agenda. Raplee seconded the motion, which
passed 3-0.
