March 19, 2018 (Regular Meeting) Page 3479 Starting this year, the Shelter will begin hosting an own staff -run low cost Rabies and Microchip Clinics quarterly. Three staff members are currently being certified to administer Rabies Vaccinations, and staff would like to offer in house clinics open to Cabarrus County citizens to receive one-year Rabies vaccination and microchipping. Other local area shelters provide this public service either in house or partnered with low cost veterinary services. Staff is looking at pricing that is comparable to these other local services. After researching several locations and clinics locally, it was found that other such events are offering Rabies vaccinations anywhere from free to $10, or by donation and Microchipping averaging at $10. Our Current prices: Rabies: $10 Microchip: $5 Staff would like to request to implement "Public Pricing" for Microchips offered to or requested by members of the public at $10. This would be offered at events such as the Rabies and Microchip Clinics, and offered to the public upon reclamation of lost animals at the shelter. This would NOT affect adoption and rescue prices; these prices would stay as is at our cost. Revenue from the increased public pricing would go back into the purchase of our normal supply of microchips. Staff will also have to increase the amount of microchips normally purchased to supply these quarterly events and to provide them upon pet reclaims, so expenditure is going to be greater in. order to offer these services. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Kiger, seconded by Vice Chairman Honeycutt and unanimously carried, the Board approved the increase in public fees for microchips.
