This issue is of particular interest to the council since this
year's contract rate was considerably higher than in the past.
Community contract fees were adjusted to reflect percentage of use
and costs at the facility.
Busby said he also cannot understand the manner that the county
budgets for the facility. The community contract fees were not
clearly defined in the animal control budget.
He said that he spoke with Logan County Board Chairman Dick Logan
and told him, "Don't count the city's $35,000 in the budget for next
year."
"I hope that's all right with you I told him that," he said to
the council.
After the meeting Busby said that he did not have a plan as to
how the city would handle the animal problem without the contract.
But they have some time to sort that out. Their contract is through
May 1, 2008.
