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. 736 . , Report CD-38-98 -2- July 13, 1998 Also during the 1998 Capital Budget process, an amount of $3,000.00 was budgeted for the purchase of stainless steel cat cages.
