Title
Approve contract with North Metro Animal Care and Control for animal impound services
Purpose/Background:
The city of Ramsey has contracted exclusively with the city of Anoka for animal containment services (pound) since 2001. The city of Anoka will be closing the animal impound facility and redeveloping the property in the near future. There have been discussions about re-building the facility but the final plans are undetermined at this point. Several North Metro cities, including Anoka, have contracted with North Metro Animal Care and Control (NMACC) of Andover for animal containment services.
The Ramsey Police Department is responsible for Animal Control in the city of Ramsey and requests approval of a contract so this important service for residents is not interrupted. Staff requested a proposal from NMACC and it is attached to this case. This professional services contract came in at an annual estimated expense to the city of approximately $1,530 year. NMACC would be collecting an additional $1,320 per year in impound fees from owners.These estimated amounts would be a significant reduction to expenses currently paid by both the city and animal owners for pet containment.
The amounts paid by the city of Ramsey to the city of Anoka for animal containment services for the last five years:
2014 = 5135
2015 = 3810
2016 = 8050
2017 = 8955
2018 = 4610
