Security footage that allegedly shows Dodge County Humane Society Director Tamar Reed tampering with the recording settings of the humane societyâs security system could come to light following a Monday hearing.
County Judge Francis Barron III overruled an objection brought forward by Attorney Thomas Thomsen that would have prevented the plaintiff from issuing a subpoena to receive the hard drive of DCHSâs security system, which was received by the Fremont Police Department last summer.
Thomsen represents DCHS in its case against the Debby Durham Family Foundation.
The Debby Durham Family Foundation filed a complaint against DCHS in November 2020 alleging that DCHS had breached its contract and misused funds.
The Dodge County Humane Society has filed a lawsuit against the City of Fremont and FurEver Home LLC., over the approaching termination of its contract with the city.
The action came in two separate complaints filed against the city and newly contracted animal sheltering service on Feb. 25 and 26, respectively.
Two days prior to the filing of DCHSâs complaint against the City of Fremont, Fremont City Council voted to approve a letter of termination outlining several sections of the cityâs contract with DCHS that are alleged to be in violation.
Those alleged violations include failure to produce a complete monthly report of activities and tracking statistics, such as animal intake and euthanasias, and failure to comply with section (2)(f) of the contract, which requires DCHS to provide a Notice of Impoundment along with âsignificant markers or other identifiers to the Fremont Police Department within 24 hours of impoundmentâ if no owner is identified.
