wonderful working relationship with the City and she hopes that it continues. She said the Humane Society is operating under a
written, fee-for-service contract that was signed in good faith, and that if the contract is not honored, the organization will no longer
accept any animals from City residents. Sandra Miller, 1901 Hamilton Way, asked the Council if they have sought legal advice on
breach of contract or if they have a plan for dangerous or surrendered animals that the Humane Society will no longer accept. Chelsea

honor its contract with the Humane Society. Betty Anderson, 118 Motor Avenue, spoke about animals that have been abandoned in

veterinarian and that he was shocked to find out that there was no animal control in the City. He said the Humane Society is doing a
