LA PALMA : Animal Control Costs Halved in Fiscal ‘95-96
Animal control is going to cost the city less than half as much next year, officials said.
Interim City Manager Len Wood said the city’s 1995-96 contract with county government for animal-control services calls for spending $10,435, compared to $21,498 for 1994-95.
“A reduction in the [county] employee burden rate, salaries were frozen, and a lower than expected activity rate account for the reduced cost,” Wood said in a written report.
Wood said the 1995-96 reduction “represents an anomaly, and costs will most likely rise to their previous level next [fiscal] year.”
The City Council unanimously approved the new contract with the county.
