MEMO TO: Mayor and Council
SUBJECT: Animal Control
DATE: March 31, 1991
The City Council authorized the police department to advertise a
request for proposals regarding animal control. As of the closing
date, we had received two responses.
I have enclosed copies of both proposals for Council review.
The first proposal comes from Robert McAllister of 3669 140th St.
NW, Prior Lake, MN. Mr. McAllister is our current animal control
contractor.
The second proposal comes from Gregory A. Goldsworthy d/b/a G's
Animal Control of 3083 Hwy 13, Eagan, MN. Goldsworthy currently
holds animal control contracts with Hastings, Rosemount, and the
Dakota County Sheriff's Office.
The following information shows a cost comparison between
contractors.
McAllister Goldsworthy
Monthly Rate 125. 00 None
Hourly Rate for Patrol 20. 00 Minimum: $20. Day
(Alternative) $30. Night
Pick Up Per Animal 6. 00 Billed at Hourly Rate
Boarding 5. 00 6. 50
Euthanasia 15. 00 Cost to maximum $25.
Disposal Included in Cost to maximum $25.
Euthanasia
Veterinarian Care Both at Cost with discount
Kennels McAllister Shamrock
In comparing cost I feel it is important to look at two scenarios.
First, an animal is picked up and claimed by owner. Second, animal
is picked up and unclaimed with expense borne by City.
Mayor and Council
March 31, 1992 Page 2
Scenario #1. McAllister Goldsworthy
Pick Up $ 6. 00 $ 20. 00
3 Days Board 15. 00 19. 50
License 10. 00 10. 00
$ 31. 00 $ 49. 00
Scenario #2.
Pick Up 6. 00 20. 00
10 days Board 50. 00 65. 00
Disposal 15. 00 25. 00
Euthanasia 25. 00
$ 71. 00 $ 135. 00
As the City Council is aware, this action came about as a result of
the first Citywide Survey conducted. Since the City Council has
given a pledge to be responsive to the survey results, the Council
may wish to take public input on contractors and costs before
making a final decision.
It would be my recommendation to publicize the two proposals and
set a public hearing to accept comments at the April 20, 1992,
Council meeting.
In the event the Council chooses to forego this public hearing, I
will be prepared to make a recommendation based on current
information.
If you have any comments or questions, feel free to contact me at
your convenience.

Daniel M. Siebenaler
Chief of Police
DMS/m
City of Farmington
This is my proposal and bid for animal control services.
I have been in animal control for twenty-six years. Having worked for the
city of Farmington most of that time. During that time I have worked with
all kinds of animals, both wild and domestic. I stay current of any changes
and improvements in the animal statutes. I have in the past attended and
will continue to attained periodic animal control seminars.
I have a two-way radio with direct contact with my residence,
Farmington police department (Lakeville dispatch) and the Scott County
sheriff office. This enables us to have direct contact with the police cars
from vehicle to vehicle. We have two vehicle available, one mark for
animal control and one not mark. Both vehicles are fully equipped with
radios. I also have a digital pager through Scott Co. sheriff office which
the Farmington police department has the phone number. I feel it is
important to answer all in coming calls personally if at all possible if I
can not I have an answering machine with 24-hour capability to be used as
back up. All calls will be returned as soon as possible. I have a Fax
machine and a computer.
SERVICES AVAILABLE AND INCLUDED IN BID
Patrolling and pick up of dogs in violation of city ordinance. Injured or
sick cats on approval of the police department.
Pick up and quarantine of any domestic animals for rabies check.
Pick up and deliver any wild animals to U of M for rabies check
We will attempt to counsel owners on nuisance animals and try to
determine the best way to correct the problem.
We have live traps available for both domestic and wild animals. I
deliver and set the trap and also show the complaint how to set and
open the trap. If they would like us to remove the animal we do and
reset the trap if needed. There is no rental fee for this service. I have
a stock trailer for larger animals if needed for pick up if the owner is
unavailable or is unknown.
We will remove any animal from houses and garages such as bats,
skunks, birds, squirrels, raccoons, etc.
Education presentations upon request to schools and organizations.
l will conduct training for police department staff as requested.
We will follow any reporting procedures requested by the police
department and the city.
We will continue to operate and maintain the kennel at my residence
which is licensed and inspected by the State Board of Animal Health.
License number 1291.
Any animal needed to be tested for disease would be reported to the
State to be checked by the State.
All animals picked up with any traceable tags will be traced upon
returning to the kennel. We will then attempt to contact the owner. In
the event the issuing agency are closed the tag will be traced the next
working day. All animals with tags are held until all efforts to trace
them are exhausted.
Unclaimed animals are available for placement, after the holding time
is up, to those interested with a fee of $25.00. If not placed they
would either put to sleep or given to another kennel with possibility
of 1: being put to sleep, 2: being sold for placement, 3: being sent to
research, unless there is an objection by the city. i receive no
monetary value for animals given to the other kennel.
IF THE CiTY WOULD RATHER THEY NOT BE SENT TO ANOTHER KENNEL
WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF BEING SENT TO RESEARCH THERE WOULD BE
NO PROBLEM AS THE CITY OF SHAKOPEE HAS HAD THAT POLICY FOR
MANY YEARS, APPROXIMATELY 17 YEARS.
We keep records for lost and found animals. I check the paper on a
daily basis for lost or found. If someone calls having found a stray
animal we will get a description and check it against any lost animals
to get it back to the owner as soon as possible.
All animals picked up from January 1, 1991 to and including February
29, 1992 were 46 animals of which 23 were claimed and 23 were
unclaimed for a 50% claim rate.
FEES AND RATES FOR SERVICES
An hourly rate would be $20.00 per hour regardless of the time of day.
Boarding at my residence I am State licensed and inspected. The rate
would be $5.00 per day.
Disposal on unclaimed dogs are;
1. Available for replacement by anyone interested in getting a pet.
2. Euthanize by injection with medications purchased through my
veterinarian. I have been instructed by him in administration of
medication.
3. Sent to another kennel where there is a possibility of being sent
to research. If there is an objection to this method it can and
will be stopped. If stopped euthanasia and disposal expenses
would be $ 15.00 per animal.
IF THE CITY WOULD RATHER THEY NOT BE SENT TO ANOTHER
KENNEL WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF BEING SENT TO RESEARCH
THERE WOULD BE NO PROBLEM AS THE CITY OF SHAKOPEE HAS HAD
THAT POLICY FOR MANY YEARS, APPROXIMATELY.
All dead animals or animals that had to be euthanized there would be a
$ 15.00 charge.
All dead animals are picked up by a disposal service.
All injured animals are taken to Scott Lake Pet Clinic. If Claimed
expenses are the responsibility of the owner. If not claimed expenses are
billed to the city at a discount rate. Only emergency services are extended
to stabilize and make the animal comfortable. The city can put a ceiling
on expenses incurred. Example: Other cities have a $75.00 ceiling. to the
best of my recollection the city has not been charged for veterinary
services.
ALTERNATE PROPOSAL
Monthly rate: $125.00
Board per day: $5.00
Pickup per animal: $6.00
Euthanasia & disposal: $ 15.00
Dead animals: $ 15.00
You would get all patrol time needed upon request, Complaint or general
patrol needed at no extra charge. All other services mentioned in other
proposal would be provided.

MEMO TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
SUBJECT: YARD WASTE COMPOSTING AT BERNARD MURPHY FARMSITE
DATE: APRIL 15, 1992
Included herewith is a copy of the permit-by-rule from the MinnesotaPollutionControl
Agency for the proposed compost site on the Murphy Farmsite. The Murphys and their
representative, Mr. Theodore Pauling of TRP Enterprises, Inc. , have received this
permit-by-rule and are hoping to begin operations by April 26, 1992.
The proposed composting operation will proceed in the following manner:
Grass clippings and leaves will be hauled to the Murphy Farmsite, unbagged, by
haulers from Dakota, Scott, Rice, and possibly other counties. Once delivered to
the site, the grass and leaves will be loaded onto a manure spreader and land
spread evenly, approximately twenty tons per acre (MPCA recommendation). Next the
spread material would be chisel plowed into the ground. Delivery, spreading and
plowing of the material would all occur within a one-day period. Rain would stop or
delay these activities. A container for objectional material (i.e. ; plastic bags,
branches, brush, etc.) would be on the site and disposed of on a regular basis.
The proposed period and hours of operation are as follows:
April 1 - November 31 (depending on weather)
10:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. (First two weeks)
9:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. (Normally)
The proposed annual capacity for the site is 15,000 tons. Thirty acres of land will
be used in the land spreading process. Grass clippings have a one-week average
breakdown period while leaves have a three-month average breakdown period. The
intention of the Murphys and Mr. Pauling, as I understand them, is to land spread a
maximum of 600 tons of grass clippings a week, primarily from April to October. The
leaves are expected to be received in late October and November.
Besides the apparent economic benefit to Mr. Murphy, the composted material would be
used as fill for the thirty-acre area. Mr. Pauling has provided an opportunity for
economic benefit to the City also. The City solid waste crews would be allowed to
deliver unbagged leaves and grass clippings to the site at no cost to the City.
Presently, the City is billed for all yard waste taken to the County compost site
north of town.
I have contacted the Dakota County Solid Waste Officer and the MPCA contact regarding
this specific operation proposal. They both feel that this proposal can be run
successfully if operated as detailed in the permit-by-rule. They both have concerns
about possible problems if there is a lack of control demonstrated by the operators.
Possible problems range from applying the compostable material at too great a thickness
and the ensuing odors, to windy days and blowing debris; from source contamination from
street sweepings or plastic bag remains, to period of time from homeowner bagging to
site delivery and the possible odors. The MPCA has closed down operations in the past
for some of these reasons. Expensive clean up costs have been incurred by the operators
when soil contamination was involved.
Yard Waste Composting Page 2
The composting proposal being presented to the Council is based upon environmental
concerns. The means of addressing these specific concerns would provide additional
topsoil for the Murphys, while benefitting them economically. The City would
receive economic benefits, also. A similar composting site has been operating
successfully for the past few years in Anoka County.
The Murphys, Mr. Pauling and myself plan to attend the Council meeting to address
concerns and questions.
The Council's guidance is being sought regarding this proposal. I await your
direction.

MEMO TO: Mayor and Council
SUBJECT: Long Term Storage
DATE: April 7, 1992
As a result of a continuing investigation the Farmington Police
Department has seized approximately $100, 000 worth of vehicles and
property. While such seizures occur on an ongoing basis the size
of this case requires special consideration.
Under guidelines of our insurance carrier the City is responsible
for the protection of this property. Insurance coverage can be
accommodated, however we must consider safe storage should be at a
minimum "fenced" and where possible "inside". These standards had
been established through a prior agreement with Marek's. With this
in mind I checked a number of storage facilities regarding costs.
Maximum
Facility Vehicle Monthly Daily
Hanson Beverage Regular $155. 00 $ 5. 00
Large 465. 00 15. 00
John Siebenaler Regular 70. 00 4. 00
Large 170. 00 8. 50
Apple Valley Superlock Regular 75. 00 N/A
Large N/A N/A
Extra Storage USA Regular 72. 00 N/A
Large N/A N/A
Hiton Storage Regular 70. 00 N/A
Large N/A N/A
In addition, I contacted the Dakota County Fairground. That
facility is unsatisfactory due to lack of year round availability.
In each case I specifically asked for both monthly and daily rates.
The low price was submitted by John and Sally Siebenaler d/b/a
Stoney Knolls Farm.
Due to the relationship (brother) between this contractor and
myself, I requested Wayne Henneke to ask opinions from the Auditor
and City Attorney. After consultation, both have assured us that
as long as a good faith effort was made to solicit lowest prices,
there would be no conflict of interest.
K �
Mayor and Council
April 7, 1992 Page 2
I request authorization to contract with John Siebenaler for long
term storage of seized vehicles. These contracts would be on an
individual vehicle basin. Copies of all stored vehicle contracts
will be forwarded to our insurance carrier for information
purposes.
If you have any comments or questions, feel free to contact me at
your convenience.
