Mono Council passed a motion during its Tuesday (Feb. 9) meeting, entering the Town into an agreement with Olympus K9 instead of the formerly used Orangeville SPCA.
Council discussed the Canine Control Services Agreement and Amended Dog By-law during the meeting and shared that the contract with Orangeville SPCA to provide canine control, a pound keeper and license fee collection, was up for renewal December 31 of last year.
When contacted about the renewal, the previous August, OSPCA came back with a revised agreement, showing a significant increase in costs, from $17,344 to $45,194. In addition, OSPCA kept all the licensing fees.
