DISCUSSION OR OTHER ACTION <br />(a) <br />Discussion or other action regarding Animal Adoption Center and Shelter – K. Adcox/R. <br />McPhail. <br />Chief of Police Ken Adcox presented a summary. <br />Councilmember Clausen questioned how the original estimate was obtained. Chief Adcox <br />responded they used the cost per square foot from the most recent animal shelter built within our <br />geographical area within the pastyear, which was in theCity of Friendswood. <br />Councilmember Zemanek questioned the current square footage of kennels for both dogs and cats. <br />Animal Control Supervisor Clarence Anderson responded 1,800 total square feet for the existing <br />shelter but was not sure on specific kennel space. Councilmember Zemanek questioned the plan <br />for kennel space with a new proposed4,376square-foot facility. Architect Martha Seng,with <br />Jackson and Ryan Architects, informed that kennel space would increase from the current 22 <br />kennels to 32 kennels. <br />Mayor Rigby asked how long willthe proposed Animal Adoption Center and Shelter serve its <br />purpose and not require an addition. ChiefAdcox responded a 4,376 square-foot facility has 50 <br />percent more kennels than the existing facility; and staff feels it will last well into the future. <br />Councilmember Martin commented he likes the idea of a facility being located onSpencer Highway <br />and being more visible for, hopefully, increased animal adoptionsand questioned if staff has <br />considered any other funding options. Chief Adcox advised staff has considered partnering with <br />other neighboring communities, contracting animal control services to smaller communities, and <br />possibly seeking sponsorships from local industry if directed by Council. <br />Councilmember Engelken commented an Animal Adoption Center and Shelter will need to be <br />constructed just like other facilities without down scaling it;andsuggested Council not make any <br />decisions prior to upcoming Budget Workshop meetings. Councilmember Leonard agreed with <br />Councilmember Engelken. <br />Councilmember Mosteit moved to allow Chief Adcox and the animal shelter committee to seek <br />private donations and bring back information at the upcoming budget meetings.
