WORKSHOP
August 18,2014

(CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP FOR THE PURPOSE OF DISCUSSING THE CANYON COUNTY
ANIMAL SHELTER CONTRACT)
E1Jay Waite,City Finance Director at 411 Blaine Street,stated that he has been working with members of the
Animal Control Board and Caldwell Police Department staff regarding the proposed contract. The contract
outlines the cost of the true cost for canines. The shelter is sustainable with the cost analysis as presented. It
was agreed that the shelter would assist in the licensing of the animals and$10 of the$12 fee would be paid to
the shelter for this service. The shelter would be managed by Friends of the Animal Shelter. It has been
proposed that the required five day holding period be reduced to three days.
Chris Allgood,Chief of Police at I10 South 5th Avenue, noted that the contract is not a flat fee contract but
rather reflects a"per canine"charge. He stated his support of the draft contract.
Lt.Dave Wright,100 South 5th Avenue,reported that the mandated licensing process by the Animal Shelter will
assist the Animal Control Division. The contract has identified areas that need improvement. He stated his
support of the draft contract.
Discussion followed.
Rena McKeen, 22487 Dixie River Road, expressed her concerns about the administrative operations of the
shelter's staff members. She stated that the adoption fees have been increased and are cost prohibitive for
citizens to adopt an animal. She requested that cats be addressed within the new contract.The shelter staff has
not been thorough in their record keeping abilities.

(CONSIDER RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF A MUNICIPAL SERVICES
AGREEMENT WITH TC PROPERTY MANAGEMENT, LIMITED FOR THE CANYON
SPRINGS R.V.RESORT AND ADJACENT LAND)
Brent Orton, 621 Cleveland Blvd, provided the staff report. He referenced Item D on page 8 of the
document. He noted that the developer is proposing a new approach to Hwy. 20/26 in the future which
would consolidate existing approaches. Mr.Orton expressed concern that the driveway approach would be
considered a local road and not a collector road. This condition should be indicated within the Municipal
Services Agreement.

agreement states that the developer is in agreement with annexing into the City when City services are
available to the site.

City Council Meeting to be held on September 2, 2014 allowing Mr. Orton to review the conditions of
approval with the applicant and the agreement amended accordingly.
