In 2000 six cities contracted with Fayetteville for sheltering of their stray and surrendered animals. Each contract was for a 12 month period from January through December. The contract fee for these cities was $61 per animal, invoiced each month according to the amount of animals brought in the previous year. Washington County was given a contract in 2001 to expire in 2004. The contract fee was $36 per animal. The county was billed on a monthly basis for the current year. In 2004, Fayetteville Animal Services met with the county animal advisory committee and communicated that an increase in sheltering fees would occur in the next year due to increased sheltering costs. In June 2004, the county agreed to pay $50 per animal, but not to exceed $2,535 per month for sheltering until 2005. Two municipalities, Lincoln and Prairie Grove had contracts designated for euthanasia services only provided by Fayetteville from the year 2000 to 2004. The two cities paid $I0 per animal. This fee no longer covers the cost of incineration and does not take into account the time of a euthanasia technician and caretaker, nor does it cover the cost of syringes and euthanasia solution. Due to all contracts expiring in 2004, the decision was made to offer the same consistent sheltering services to Washington County and above mentioned municipalities. Communications were made with the cities to inform them an increase in fees was to be expected. The following is the amount of animals sheltered from the above named and the cost incurred at a rate of $75 per animal. 1 -73-05 • • ye ,yi le Y4 • Municipality Number of Animals Fee pe year/month Elm Springs 8 $600/$50 Farmington 195 $14,625/$1,218.75 Goshen 11 $825/$68.75 Greenland 7 $525/$43.75 Lincoln 122 $9,150/$762.50 Prairie Grove 174 $13,050/$1,087.50 Tontitown 12 $900/$75 Washington County 820 $61,500/$5,125 West Fork 92 $6,900/$575 Winslow 8 $600/$50 Total: 10 1,449 S108,675/$9,056.25 The above amounts are based on 2004 numbers. The decision to no longer offer euthanasia service only contracts was made due to the high stress level placed on the shelter staff If an animal brought in by those two municipalities was highly adoptable, the decision to place the animal up for adoption was not for the shelter staff to make. Concerning this highly skilled and stressful task, it was not humane to euthanize an animal sure to get a home, nor demand the staff to perform such duty. I have attached a few articles explaining this task and the issues surrounding the complex function shelter employees must face each day in a sometimes hostile environment. The fee of $75 was figured by taking the 2004 shelter program costs and dividing it by the number of animals taken in by the shelter. This cost includes the Shelter program only; it does not include the Emergency/Patrol program or the Veterinarian/Clinic program budgets. The following is the breakdown of costs: Personnel $264,460 Materials/Supplies $ 37,335 Services/Utilities $ 48,526 Maintenance Si 35,306 Total $385,627 Divided by total number of animals sheltered 5,091 for 2004 is $75.74 spent per animal. Offering these contracts does not provide revenue for the Animal Services Division; it is not only the animals that we must care for, but also the city's citizens. Animal Services 2 • ye vie staff field phone calls from these city's citizens along with spending time explaining the process, educating, and gathering information when they surrender an animal to the shelter. This takes time and kennel space away from the citizens of Fayetteville and Fayetteville animals. Offering these contracts to the municipalities who do not have sheltering facilities is a humane approach to the overpopulation problem and ensures the animals are given excellent care and humane treatment. To help in the battle of pet overpopulation, all municipalities in Washington County and the citizens of Fayetteville should be encouraged to utilize the county's free low income spay/neuter program and Fayetteville's $10 low income spay/neuter service. These services should be emphasized to decrease the amount of homeless animals needing to be sheltered. Enclosures cc: Mayor Coody Chief Johnson Capt. Tabor Capt.
