5. Animal Control Fees: We have received a request from the animal shelter to
consider an increased contribution to help support animal control. Last year we
expensed $18,753. Of this about $390 a month or $4670 went directly to the
shelter. The City of Ashland pays about $750 a month, Bad River pays $400. It
is important to have a local shelter to take animals to. The current shelter works
very hard for both counties and does a good job of holding down costs. They are
in the process of forming a non-profit corporation. Support for these activities
comes mainly from taxes. Over the past several years we have levied between
$8500 and $11,100, the rest comes from dog license fees. I imagine that an
increase of $200 a month would increase taxes to around $15,000.
6. Discussion and Possible Action Regarding Resolutions Received from
Other Counties:
a. Resolution from Vernon County supporting a legislation change
regarding Medicare Payment Inequities Between States.
7. Discussion and Possible Action Regarding Tourism Budget
Amendments:
8. Discussion and Possible Action Regarding Sign Permit Application for
Triangle Parking Lot: We are planning a simple sign on the corner of
Washington and 6th street, by the triangle parking. We will have a
graphic at the meeting for a review.
