Impact analysis
While exact dollar amounts aren't public yet, shifting contracts around after previous deals collapsed usually means taxpayers end up footing a higher bill for these vital services.
City administrators and the new animal services provider benefit from moving the contract along quickly without the usual bureaucratic red tape or public debate.
Local residents and community watchdogs lose out because they're being shut out of the decision-making process for animal care in their neighborhoods.
