Fremont City Council voted in favor of issuing a letter of termination to the Dodge County Humane Society during its Tuesday meeting.
The letter, signed by Mayor Joey Spellerberg, outlines several sections of the cityâs contract with DCHS that have been in violation and have not been remedied since a Notice of Cure toward the end of October.
In the letter, the city established that, due to the lack of action to remedy the noted violations, the city has the right to exercise the right to terminate its contract with DCHS 30 days after the notice is given.
Five sections of the cityâs contract with DCHS were described as being âpreviously violatedâ without remedy.

The first regular meeting of the 2020-22 Fremont City Council convened Tuesday night, swearing in three new council members and Joey Spellerberg as mayor.
Spellerberg replaced former Mayor Scott Getzschman, who served in the position for the last decade before announcing his decision not to run for re-election last December.
Additionally, Councilmembers Sally Ganem, Dev Sookram and Vern Gibson filled seats previously occupied by former Councilmembers Matt Bechtal, Susan Jacobus and Linda McClain.
In its first meeting, the new council voted to continue an amendment introduced by Councilmember Brad Yerger that would have amended language in the cityâs municipal code to clarify the Fremont Board of Healthâs role when issuing health directives and recommendations for the city.
