Analysis
Grand Prairie Animal Services has close relationships with area Animal Control Divisions and works in partnership to assist when others are in need. This Interlocal Cooperation Agreement (ILA) will provide the necessary resources and legal liability protection in the event of an emergency or disaster. The ILA provides that any one or more local government entities may contract with each other for the performance of governmental functions and the joint use of facilities or services for Animal Care and Control and for the promotion and protection of the health and welfare of citizens.
Staff recommends entering this mutual aid Interlocal Agreement with Animal Control Divisions to enhance the existing cooperative relationship.
