Animal Shelter Moves Ahead

The City Council approved allocating $6.6 million for the total construction cost of the new Animal Care Facility. Council also authorized the City to enter into contract negotiations with the City of Dinuba for its use of the new facility, once completed. The project is moving forward on a new timeline which anticipates construction beginning in Spring of 2013, with occupancy in early 2014. Debt service for the loan for up to $6.6 million from Valley Business Bank will be repaid from the Animal Control Enterprise fund and any lease revenue from potential partner cities that choose to use the facility. For the complete staff report, click here
