10-54(1) states that the animal control officer shall seize, impound, or restrain any dog found running at large <br />within the city. Additionally, section 10-95(a) says that, "All dogs picked up by the animal control officer or any <br />of their duly authorized assistants shall be immediately transported to the designated pound." <br />Time Frame/Observations/Alternatives: <br />Options are limited, and therefore, continuing the arrangement with the City of Anoka by entering into this MOU <br />is currently the best option for the City of Ramsey. <br />Funding Source: <br />This is funded through the general levy and animal ownership fees owed for the service. The adopted 2026 <br />preliminary budget did not include this expense; however, staff will adjust the final budget accordingly, <br />specifically in Business Unit 0270 Animal Control, under 6489 Other Contracted Services. <br />Recommendation: <br />Approve a Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Anoka and the City of Ramsey for animal <br />containment services in the amount of $10,000 that this case discusses. <br />Outcome/Action: <br />Motion to approve the Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Anoka and the City of Ramsey for <br />animal containment services in 2026. <br />Anoka Ramsey Animal Containment MOU <br />Attachments <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Brian Hagen Brian Hagen 11/06/2025 01:03 PM <br />Form Started By: Brad Bluml Started On: 11/04/2025 09:03 AM <br />Final Approval Date: 11/06/2025 <br />
