NORTH METRO HUMANE SOCIETY 1411 Main Street, Coon Rapids, Minnesota 55448 (612) 754-1642 May 10, I997 Dear Contract Administrator: Because of current space and financial problems being faced by the North Metro Humane Society, the following changes have been authorized by the Humane Society Board of Directors for the proposed 1997-98 impound contracts to begin August 1, 1997. Basic Services 4. Boarding UP to five days In past years, the Humane Society has provided one day of boarding at no charge and was billing for a maximum of four days. In the 1997-98 contracts, the practice of one free boarding day will be dropped and the maximum number of billable boarding days will be five, as indicated in previous contracts. Collection of License Fees This section will be eliminated from the 1997-98 contract because the Humane Society never provided this service. IV. Compensation The basic fee structure will remain the same with the exception of D. Transportation Fee (explained below). However, the minimum monthly contract fee will be $500.00. If a city's individual fees for impound, boarding, etc., are less than $500 in any given month, the city will receive a bill for $500 with the individual monthly analysis sheet. Transportation Fee The current practice of charging by distance of the city from the Shelter will continue. However, the cost in each of the categories will increase by $4. O0. It is unfortunate that space and funding problems require us to make these changes. I I I I I I I I i I i: I I I I I I I I
