To: Mayor Fasbender & City Council Members
From: David D. Wilske, Chief of Police
Date: August 5th, 2024
Item: 1st Reading: Animal Impound Fee Schedule Adjustment
Council Action Requested:
Approve fee schedule adjustment to account for fee increases from River Bluff Humane Society in
accordance with Ordinance 34.03 Fee Schedule for Dog Pick Up.
Background Information:
In July 2024, the Hastings PD was notified by River Bluff Humane Society that fees for overnight stays
would increase from $20/night to $25/night. The Hastings PD has a contract with River Bluff Humane
Society to assist with our dog impounds when needed. This increase in fees requires council approval as
the burden is placed on the owner and payment required prior to retrieval of the dog. Aside from the
requested fee schedule change, all other policies, and procedures relative to handling impounds remain
the same.
