believed worthy of further consideration was for the city or lake area cities to construct an impound <br />facility to replace the Delano facility, which would be operated by the Humane Society in addition <br />to the new facility planned in western Wright County, Staff is pursuing this option on several fronts. <br />First, it is confirming with the lake area cities whether they are willing to jointly construct a facility <br />and jointly fund the costs of operating the facility through the Humane Society. Secondly, staff is <br />identifying potential sites for the facility. <br />The important part of the mission and philosophy of the Humane Society of Wright County is the <br />placement of animals into new homes. Their efforts are heavily focused on adoptions and finding <br />foster homes for animals versus euthanizing after a specific number of days. This philosophy is a <br />very good match with Orono's philosophy regarding impounding animals. <br />As staff pursues the various elements of an arrangement with the Humane Society of Wright County, <br />the Council will be periodically updated. <br />t 1
