CABARRUS COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />REGULAR MEETING <br />AGENDA CATEGORY: <br />Consent Agenda <br />MARCH 19, 2018 <br />6:30 P.M. <br />SUBJECT: <br />Sheriffs Office - Animal Shelter Fee Change <br />BRIEF SUMMARY: <br />Starting this year, the Shelter will begin hosting a own staff -run low cost <br />Rabies & Microchip Clinics quarterly. Three staff members are currently <br />being certified to administer Rabies Vaccinations, and staff would like to <br />offer in house clinics open to Cabarrus County citizens to receive one <br />year Rabies vaccination and microchipping. Other local area shelters <br />provide this public service either in house or partnered with low cost <br />veterinary services. Staff is looking at pricing that is comparable to these <br />other local services. After researching several locations and clinics locally, <br />it was found that other such events are offering Rabies vaccinations <br />anywhere from free to $10, or by donation and Microchipping averaging at <br />$10. <br />Our Current prices: <br />Rabies: $10 <br />Microchip: $5 <br />Staff would like to request to implement "Public Pricing" for Microchips <br />offered to or requested by members of the public at $10. This would be <br />offered at events such as the Rabies & Microchip Clinics, and offered to <br />the public upon reclamation of lost animals at the shelter. This would NOT <br />affect adoption and rescue prices, these prices would stay as is at our <br />cost. <br />Revenue from the increased public pricing would go back into the <br />F-15 Page 155 <br />
