Discuss, consider and take appropriate action on authorizing the extension of #202369 Digital Pet Tags for Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter, contract renewal option #1, for the same pricing, terms and conditions for the term of December 13, 2023 - December 12, 2024, with Pethub, Inc.

This is the first option for renewal for #202369 Digital Pet Tags. Digital pet ID tags contain owner's information and the pet's health and vaccination data in a database and also with a QR code on the tag.  The tag functions like a microchip, but makes reuniting a lost pet easier, as most people have a smartphone that can read a QR code, but very few have a microchip reader.  Tags will be used for all animals that are taken in at the shelter and for pets that are adopted out. The Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter Department has confirmed that the vendor met all the County requirements for this contract and requests renewal.  Funding Source is 01.0545.0545.004968.  The Department Point of Contact is Linda Gunter.
