---Mallette moved, supported by Fish to approve 3.2 through 3.4.
There was an exception to 3.4; Reports 3.2 and 3.3 were
approved. Smith noted two concerns she had with the adoption
of 3.4: 1) dropping the program for those unable to afford
it; and, 2) keeping the fee structure when the program is
discontinued. Horn who supported the recommendation
commented that the program began as an experiment to
determine its effectiveness. He went on to say that many
Humane Societies across the Country provide a better
spay/neuter program. O'Hare was opposed to the fee remaining
in place. Discussion ended, motion to approve 3.4 carried
with Smith and O'Hare voting no.

REPORTS OF REGULAR COMMITTEES
FROM: COMMITTEE ON COUNTY SERVICES -- 1.1 AUGUST 14, 2001
At the April 2001 session the Board adopted a resolution
initiating a contract with the City of Frankenmuth for a sewer
improvement project. Subsequently, we received communication 8-14-
23 from James Koski, Public Works Commissioner informing us that
the project has been revised to include water system improvements,
and asking the Board to adopt the appropriate resolution approving
the revised contract, and to issue bonds for said improvements.
We met with Mr. Koski who informed us with the addition of the
water system improvements, the cost of the project has increased
from $1,200,000 to an amount not to exceed $1,725,000. The bond
obligation would be paid by the City of Frankenmuth.
Under the proper order of business, the appropriate resolution
will be submitted to accomplish same.
Respectfully submitted,
COMMITTEE ON COUNTY SERVICES
