GlTYof ORONO <br />Municipal Offices <br />Street Address: <br />2750 Kelley Parkway <br />Orono, MN 55356 <br />Mailing Address: <br />P.O. Box 66 <br />Crystal Bay. MN 55323-0066 <br />December 29,1997 <br />Pat Wussow <br />City Administrator <br />City of Tonka Bay <br />4901 Manitou Road <br />Excelsior, Minnesota 5S331>9560 <br />Dear Pat: <br />This letter is in response to the request from the South Lake cities for a proposal fitjm the city <br />of Orono for the provision of Animal Control Services. The proposal was to include general patrol, <br />response to complaints, animal pick up, and impounds. At this time, the city can provide all of these <br />services except tfie impounding of animals. Orono uses the Humane Society of Wright County for <br />its animal impounds. The Humane Society has indicated their facility is at capacity. They will not <br />allow the city to impound dogs from any additional cities. As you know, the lake cities are working <br />toward a cooperative impound facility to serve all lake area cities. However, this facility will <br />probably not be available until 1999. <br />In discussions with the cities of Excelsior, Shorewood, and Tonka Bay, it has been <br />determined that the ideal set up for animal control services, for both Orono and the South Lake cities, <br />is to have one full-time and one part-time Animal Control Officer. The full-time position will enable <br />Orono to attract and retain quality staff. The part-time position provides for call outs and fills in for <br />the full-time position. <br />Costs <br />The total cost to the South Lake cities for this service would be $28,125.00. This includes <br />the cost of call outs for animal pick ups during non-scheduled hours. The breakout of costs by city <br />is based on the current actual cost paid to Chanhassen by each city. <br />CURRENT CURRENT PROPOSED <br />CITY COST PERCENTAGE COST <br />Shorewood S 14.006 57.4%$16,144 <br />Excelsior $5,603 22.97%$6,460 <br />Tonka Bay $4,202 17.22%$4,843 <br />Greenwood SS84 2.4%$675 <br />Tdephone (612) 473-7357 • FAX 4734)510 <br />d ----------- —-1 in I If I f mi niaflMTii mith hm \ f>Trw~~fi '■■■ k ' iBWTuiiMit ■■ fkianaAiKi «.J
