ESTES PARK POLICE DEPARTMENT
Animal Control Proposal - The Committee reviewed an agreement
between the Town of Estes Park and Susan E. Patton, dba Estes
Park Animal Clinic. Provisions of this agreement include:
Item 5.
Adding a last sentence to item 5: "First party
shall have no obligation to second party in
the event any owners of the dogs receiving
care do not pay for said care. This relieves
the Town of medical fees for impounded
animals.
Item 6. That the first party (Town) shall pay to the
second party (Dr. Patton) the sum of Six
Hundred Dollars ($600.00) per month for the
services furnished as herein provided. This
fee shall cover one hundred fifty (150)
impounds for the calendar year. In the event
there are more than one hundred fifty (150)
impounds, first party shall pay second party
Ten Dollars ($10.00) per day for each impound
with a five (5) day maximum for each impound.
First party shall pay second party Twelve and
50/100 Dollars ($12.50) for each euthanasia.
Chief Racine explained that when an animal is impounded by the
Police Department, it is held for five days. After this
period, the dog is released for adoption or euthanasia at Dr.
Patton's discretion. After five days, the Police Department
(Town) has no further liability.
The Police Department presently distributes flyers to the
public explaining what occurs following impound of a dog.
This flyer will be updated as the need arises.
Dr. Patton noted her insurance coverage exceeds the amount
listed in item 7.
