The City did not participate in this program. Second, the new contract provides an option for the City to request dedicated animal control officer services at special events for $43.60 per hour with a three-hour minimum per day on an as-needed basis. To date, such services have not been necessary and are not included in the fiscal impact section. FISCAL IMPACT: The estimated cost of the annual contract is $119,876.
