Council Agenda Statement e of si
Meeting Date: May 28, 2013
From: Jim Hunt, City Manager
Subject: The City of Seward Animal Shelter
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION
The City of Seward receives approximately seven - hundred seventy five ($775.00) dollars a year though the
voluntary licensing of dogs within the city limits. The monies are undesignated and are applied to the General
Fund. The city has operated an animal shelter via contracted services for many years and the condition of the
facility is less than ideal. Over the last few months, the public has taken up the cause of a new, relocated animal
shelter and has raised thousands of dollars for this project. The principals of this effort have requested the city
hold and manage their shelter donations. Administration requests the dog licensing fees be directly contributed
to this new animal shelter account.
