MEETING OF DECEMBER 16, 2025
TO:Mayor Rawn and City Council
THRU:Keith Macedo, Chief of Staff
FROM:Justine Lentz, Animal Services Superintendent
SUBJECT: Approval of a resolution to approve a budget adjustment for Animal Services
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of a budget adjustment to recognize and allocate the Animal Services donation
revenue from January 1 through November 17, 2025, in the amount of $486,948.00.
BACKGROUND:
Animal Services would like to recognize donation from revenue from citizens and businesses made from
January 1 through November 17, 2025. These funds are donated by our generous community members to
benefit the animal cared for by Animal Services. We greatly appreciate their support.
In addition, this year, Fayetteville Animal Services received four generous bequests from community members
who chose to leave a legacy of compassion for animals. We are deeply grateful for this support. These gifts will
allow us to further enrich the lives of the pets in our care and expand the services we provide to the
community. They include:
Mr. Frank S. Price $12,000
Mr. Price was a retired teacher with a lifelong passion for teaching, learning and creating. During his free time
working on cars was his favorite pastime. Upon retiring, he moved to Butterfield Trail Village where he enjoyed
creating interesting mobile items from scrap, hiking and gardening, and creating items with stained glass.
Ms. Betty Miller $175,000
Betty's career began at Herman's Rib House, where she met her husband, Allan L. Miller. She later dedicated
many years to Campbell Soup, adapting through various company transitions. Betty was known for her kind,
caring, and honest demeanor, coupled with her sense of humor and a strong work ethic. Betty cherished
walking her dog, Grace, tending to her flowers in her garden, and feeding the birds.
Ms. Susan J. Shelton $250,000
She was a Fayetteville High School graduate and worked for the Springdale School District floating between
TG Smith and Parson Hills as an elementary music teacher until her retirement in 2014. Ms. Shelton was an
animal lover throughout her entire life.
Ms. Barbara Starr Roberts $10,000
Barbara graduated from Fayetteville High School in 1956. She pursued her passion for social work, earning
her bachelor's degree from the University of Arkansas. She dedicated many years to serving the community
through her work with Fayetteville Public Schools. Barbara would come every winter to the Fayetteville Animal
