Motion 23-498, approving the Animal Redemption and Relinquishment Fees set by the Snohomish County Auditor

body

DEPARTMENT:  Auditor’s Office - Animal Services

 

ORIGINATOR:  Connie Barndt

 

EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION:  Approved by Ken Klein 11/6/23

 

PURPOSE: Motion to establish animal redemption and relinquish fees

 

BACKGROUND: SCC 9.12.110 and SCC 9.12.055 authorizes the Auditor to establish animal redemption and relinquish fees to cover costs associated with the impoundment and surrendering of animals.  Cost recovery includes the care and boarding of the animal ($250 per animal charge from the contracted shelter) in addition to apprehension and transportation costs if an Animal Control Officer impounded the stray animal.  The shelter works with pet owners to find alternatives to surrendering animals to the shelter as there are other resources for residents to rehome dogs/cats.
