(#3888) Current Business Registration Certificate: Not Applicable Financial Impact: The estimated cost to the City of the waiver of adoption fees is $2,500.00. Motion: Adopt the Resolution. Background: The Animal Shelter is currently at capacity on the number of animals we have space for. We are requesting authorization to waive adoption fees to enable us to clear out the animals through adoption versus having to euthanize the animals for space. Spay/neuter, Rabies, and licensing costs would remain. The only thing waived is the actual adoption fee which is $55.00 per animal.
