MONROE - The City of Monroe Public Safety Committee informed representatives of the Green County Humane Society Monday it would recommend the $35,000 set aside in the 2013 budget for services provided by the organization be paid in equal monthly installments.
Other details of the proposed contract will be hammered out at the committee's meeting March 4, according to Michael Boyce, chairman.
Members of the committee met in closed session Monday to discuss the society's rejection of the city's proposal to pay $130 per animal.
Rachel Schardt, Tracey Pederson and Sherri Fiduccia, members of the humane society's board of directors, said the board was unwilling to do a per animal amount proposed by the city earlier this month.
The society had worked out its budget and did not want to "work on surges of income some months and nothing in other months," Pederson said.
Boyce raised the possibility of the city coming in under the county contract with the society, but Schardt and Pederson said that contract arrangement was something the city and county had to work out together - not through the society.
The humane society intends to provide the basic core services of animal care for the city's stray cats and dogs, as it has in the past, Schardt said.
The society board wants some items, including some definitions, in the city's proposed contract to be deleted, because they are irrelevant to the society's scope of services or conflict with its requirements for operating under Wisconsin Act 90, which include regulation for animal shelters, Schardt said.
