The Police Chief stated on May 31st, staff proposed outsourcing services to another jurisdiction; closing the shelter was never discussed; the current proposal would provide an opportunity for the Police Department to work with groups to establish a sustainable, non-profit organization that would have a vision of how the Animal Shelter should run. Mayor Gilmore requested information regarding removing the Animal Shelter from the Police Department and placing it in another department. The Police Chief stated the Police Department does not run the Animal Shelter, but provides management oversight, which is a small portion of the overall budget; removing the Animal Shelter from the Police Department would still result in the same fixed costs.
