is responsible for 33.33% of the total capital costs of $30,000 being $10,000 for a total
of $246,455.84.
The 2005 Animal Services budget, including current and capital expenditures is a
decrease of one percent over 2004.
The population figures used in the Committee Treasurer's Report are based on
population data gathered by the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation in 2003 for
the general municipal election. These figures are used to compute the apportionment of
the Animal Services budget for 2004, 2005 and 2006.
