Impact analysis
While the exact dollar amount isn't highlighted yet, any new city contract means our tax dollars are shifting around, so we'll want to make sure we're getting our money's worth.
The private or outside agency landing the contract gets a smoother ride into town without having to jump through the usual public review hoops.
Everyday residents and local animal advocates lose their voice and ability to keep tabs on how stray and sheltered animals are being treated in our city.
