This Agreement is entered into between the City of Saint Paul, a home rule charter city <br />(“CSP”) and the City of Arden Hills, a municipal corporation (“Arden Hills”) on this ______ <br />day of ________, 2018. <br />WHEREAS, the City of Arden Hills is in need of housing for impounded animals; and <br />WHEREAS, the Saint Paul Animal Control facility has the capacity to house additional <br />impounded animals beyond those impounded in Saint Paul; and <br />WHEREAS, pursuant to Minn. Stat. §471.59, subd. 10, a governmental unit may enter into <br />agreements with another governmental unit to perform services or functions it is <br />authorized to provide for itself; <br />Now, therefore, parties agree as follows: <br />1. Services. CSP Animal Control will serve as the impound facility for Arden Hills and <br />will provide these services: <br />a. During business hours receive impounded animals and completed paperwork <br />containing information on the basis for the impound. <br />b. When the facility is closed, provide access to the facility for after-hours drop off. <br />c. Provide suitable and humane care for the animals while at the facility. <br />Determine whether medical care is required and if so provide such care to a <br />maximum of $200 per animal. <br />d. Handle release of animals to their owners, if claimed. <br />e. For animals which are not reclaimed, take ownership after the applicable <br />holding time required by Arden Hills. CSP will have sole discretion whether to <br />dispose of the animal. <br />CSP may refuse to accept an animal for impound which is diseased or rabid and the <br />animal cannot be impounded without serious risk to the persons attempting the <br />impound or to the other animals being held at the facility. Such animals may be <br />immediately humanely euthanized. <br />CSP will only accept animals impounded by Arden Hills employees acting in their <br />official capacity. <br />Cats may only be brought to CSP Animal Control if the cat is sick, injured, <br />abandoned, or at imminent risk of becoming sick, injured or abandoned, such as <br />orphaned kittens, cats stuck in sewers, etc. Owners wishing to surrender cats, or <br />residents concerned about outdoor cats that are apparently healthy must be <br />directed toward nongovernmental resources. <br />2.
