Attorney to assemble the proper wording for a contract with a six month stipulation to
cancel. Richard Hill, City Attorney, indicated there might be a problem with the advertising
if these bills were continued. He indicated that if the City was giving the contract to the
Humane Society there would be a need to amend Bill No. 201 -79 to reflect the salaries of the
two dog wardens from January 2, to February 15. He indicated they could appropriate the
balance of the contract at a later date. He indicated that the salaries should be amended
to $3,200. Council Member Beck asked how long it would take for the Humane Society to obtain
a new van. Mr. Snyder indicated he did not know how long it would take for delivery, but
they would be read to start at once. Council Member Taylor made a motion to amend Bill No.
