Additional Backup Information:
Pursuant to the terms of various agreements, the Animal Services Office has provided animal services throughout the unincorporated areas of Travis County through various agreements since 1985. City and County staff worked together for several years to consolidate the patchwork of agreements and amendments for these services, resulting in an interlocal agreement that was approved by the County Commissioners Court and Council on September 27, 2007, and October 18, 2007, respectively.
Approval of this item will authorize negotiation and execution of an amendment to the interlocal agreement for a 12-month period beginning December 1, 2023, in an amount not to exceed $3,368,147.
Pursuant to this amendment, the Animal Services Office will continue to provide animal protection, shelter services, wildlife mitigation services, and public education to Travis County residents residing in the unincorporated areas of Travis County. The County’s payment to the City is an estimate and will be based on actual costs and services rendered by the City.
