CITY'.POLTND� --HUMANE. 50CIE;TY - _ - The following letter was presented for council consideration; � August 3, 195Z � - Honorable Mayor ;Carl Williams and � Members of the City Council ��r Re��.ding � Gentlemen; , Pursuant to. a previous meP.ting with your body, �:nd- a late:r co-��ferenee with ' the rnayor., Shasta County Humane Society begs to submit the following counter proposition relative to .a.contract to manage the city pound. W,e observ.e that the budget for .the_ city pound for 1952 calls for an expenditure of $5,.603. 80 which.included $500, 00 for feed, $2880..00 poundmaste;r�s salary, with utilities and house. ; This budget allows oniy for bare necess- � ities: We would require the following: Poundmaster's pickup, gasoiine ,and oil and maintenance, insurance, social security and all utilities The lease on land and buildings, lic.ense fees and collections, and poundmaster�s salary. - We therefore ask that the _City Council continue the financial obligation as at pres.ent,, for one.year. The Shasta County�Humane Society will assume. all manag.erial pr.o,blems relative to the City--pound, its op.eration and conduct, In defense of,the above figures.we wish to call to your attention the fact that immediate rebuilding and:additions �to-the kennels are imperative �if we are to raise the standard of pound management. Also a crematory must be had, the lowest figures available being $2700;. 00.r T.his is a-health MU5T, of which your.group is of'cours,e c;ognizant. Other items, such as truck de- preciation, running expenses, liabi�.it�r insurance and soci�al security m�ist be included in our estimate. , , .� _ _ . _ ����'' �-' , It is our :desire and belief that we.ean run a creditable institution at some saving to the city, but we cannot in .all fairness take ovex a badly planned and badly manag.ed civ�c .obligation, without having somewhere near the amount the city has been..spending, to do a "poor job'�, to us:e your own .. words. It will take at least one year to lay a foundation for a Humane re- fuge and shelter, bo which the City of Redding will be jable to point with pride, and to take our plac.e:,alorig_.:with the other �thirty cities in the State of C'alifornia. � , _ � _ , Respectfully submitted, �. /s/ J.ohn 0liver, President ` Shasta County Humane Society Mayor Williams referred this subject to the Police Gommittee. _ SHA5.TA COUN,TY INSU�ANCE�`A:5SEN: - � �- - Mr. Charles Hall, pre,sident:_of the Shasta Gounty Insura�c:e Agents Ass�n. preserit- ed a survey of all city owned property.
