Information
Agenda Item Text:
Approve a grant in the amount of $1,000 from the Sheriff's Assist Team to pay veterinary bills for animals requiring care that are picked up by Cochise County Sheriff's Office Animal Control Officers.
Background:
Periodically, animals are picked by Sheriff's Office ACO's that have been injured. Before these animals can be taken to a shelter they have to be given veterinary care. There is currently no funding set aside for this service. The Sheriff's Assist Team has a grant program and has awarded $1,000.00 to help pay for this type of care. This money needs to be accepted so an account line can be set up to pay the subsequent bills with this money.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
If approved, the Sheriff's Office will be able to have funding available to pay the cost of treating injured animals before they are taken to a local shelter.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
The funding will not be available and the costs of the veterinary services will have to be paid by the SO.
To BOS Staff: Document Disposition/Follow-Up:
Please approve acceptance of these funds.
