e e - these animals to be adopted, but Tri-Agency said they will be referring these animals to Greenhill. It is her belief that if there is to be a referral, the referring agency must meet the same criteria and use the same policies as Tri-Agency regarding licensing and spay/neuter. Mr. Pangborn stated that the County could work out the arrangements for adopt ion and that animal s would have to be spayed or neutered and licensed. If that cannot be agreed upon, then there could be a county-wide ordinance as far as County staff is concerned. These details ha~e not yet been addressed. Mr. Whitlow noted that in the service contract, the budget amounts were left blank. The budget amount that should be filled in was $249,000 and that falls within the budget appropriation of $262,000 within the City budget. Educational and licensing services could be purchased with the remaining money. Public hearing was opened. Bill Dwyer, 1362-1/2 South 2nd, Springfield, stated that he has questions regarding the structure. He thinks the structure should be owned by only one agency, since that seems to be the major bone of contention. The parties could give notice of intent to leave Tri-Agency and give a right of first refusal for sale of the property. He feels the City Council should look at buying this building or releasing it and he feels Springfield should do the same with their share. Triple ownership does not make sense if only one agency will be using it. There being no further testimony, public hearing was closed. Mr. Obie stated that he would be presenting a motion in the form of a resolution to rescind the original agreement and authorize the City Manager to enter into an agreement with the appropri ate agency. He does not feel the specific 1 anguage necessari ly has to be adopted, but that the performance contract should be entered into. He noted that he would like to see if this can become a permanent relationship before consideration is given to selling the building. As long as the problem is being worked on, that is what the public wants. He feels the subcommittee recommendation is good and he feels that analyzing the performance by monitoring it is a good way to ensure control. Res. No. 3531--A resolution concerning the rescission of existing lease agreements and authorizing the execution of new agreements in connection with the Tri-Agency Dog Control Authority facilities. Mr. Obie moved, seconded by Ms. Smith, to adopt the resolution. Ms. Wooten asked how the Tri-Agency management feels about the recommendation. Mr. Pangborn stated that staff and management have reviewed the situation and agree with the recommendat ion. The work program wi 11 have to be aggressive and they will do that. They concur with the budget and the work program. The County management does not see a real change in the program. MINUTES--Eugene City Council June 10, 1981 Page 8
