Bloomington Board of Public Works

During the December 5th meeting of the Bloomington Board of Public Works, Assistant City Attorney Aleksandria Pratt made a case for a memorandum of understanding for a lease buyout of the Monroe County Humane Association.

Board member Kyla Cox Deckard asked how the amount of money for the buyout was settled. Pratt responded.

Cox Deckard posed a question regarding the language of the agreement where it touches on modifications to the structure. Director of Animal Care and Control Virgil Sauder further explained how they arrived at the amount of 95 thousand dollars and what the modifications clause means in the agreement.

The board approved the agreement by a unanimous vote. It will advance to the city council for their consideration. The Bloomington Board of Public Works will meet again for its regular session on December 19th.
