Subject:

ACCESS TO ACCOUNT #2900-12-X FOR THE PURCHASE OF ITEMS FOR
THE NEW ANIMAL SHELTER
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee
recommend to Council the following:
1 . THAT Report CD-38-98-98 be received;
2. THAT Staff be authorized to access Account #2900-12-X for the purchase of
equipment in the amount of $1,200.00 in time for the official opening of the Animal
Shelter to be held in the Fall of 1998;
3. THAT Staff be authorized to access the amount of $3,500.00 from Account

BACKGROUND
On Saturday, May 2, 1998, four teenage girls and one parent held a Dog Walkathon
and raised $1,153.00 for the Clarington Animal Shelter.
Staff thinks that it would be most appropriate to present a Certificate from the Mayor
and Members of Council to these individuals at the official opening of the Animal
Shelter. It would also be relevant if these persons could "see" the item which their
financial donation has purchased. Therefore, staff request authority to access these
funds for the purchase of a cat climber.

Also during the 1998 Capital Budget process, an amount of $3,000.00 was budgeted
for the purchase of stainless steel cat cages. The amount should have been
$6,500.00. Therefore Staff requests authorization to access these funds and purchase
the stainless steel cat cages, in time for the official opening of the Animal Shelter.
The Treasurer concurs with the recommendations noted below.
CONCLUSION
It is therefore respectfully recommended:
THAT Report CD-38-98 be received;
THAT Staff be authorized to access Account #2900-12-X for the purchase of
equipment in the amount of $1,200.00 in time for the official opening of the Animal
Shelter to be held in the Fall of 1998;
THAT Staff be authorized to access the amount of $3,500.00 from Account
#2900-12-X for the purchase of stainless steel cat cages in the amount of $3,500.00;
and
