Item 2 — Thursday, April 23, 2026

In plain language — from agenda source text

This item would extend the City's deal to handle animal services for Travis County, keeping the arrangement going for a five-month stretch starting May 1, 2026. It matters because the County's residents rely on Austin's animal services, and this amendment keeps that coverage in place without a gap. Under the agreement, the County reimburses the City through a cost recovery model, with payments to the City capped at $1,635,245.

Funding: The County will reimburse the City for the animal services provided by the City through a cost recovery model.
