Background Information

On August 15, 2022, the Board of Supervisors authorized the submittal of a grant application in the amount of $10,000 to the Arizona Companion Animal Spay/Neuter Committee which, if approved, will be used to continue our low-cost spay/neuter program.

On September 28th, 2022, Gila County received an award letter from the Arizona Companion Animal Spay/Neuter Committee stating we were awarded grant funds in the amount of $5,000.

Evaluation

Gila County Animal Care & Control currently has a low-cost spay/neuter program and this funding will allow the County to expand the program and continue to offer discounted spay/neuter services to more residents.

Conclusion

This grant award will benefit the residents of Gila County by providing $5,000 in funding for spaying/neutering dogs and cats. The funds must be expended by August 15, 2023.

Recommendation

The Health & Emergency Management Department Director recommends that the Board of Supervisors accepts the grant award from the Arizona Companion Animal Spay/Neuter Committee.

Suggested Motion

Accepting the grant award from the Arizona Companion Animal Spay/Neuter Committee in the amount of $5,000 that will be used to expand Gila County's discounted spay/neuter services for a period of one year.
