RESOLUTIONS: None ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS SOUTHEAST AREA ANIMAL CONTROL AUTHORITY - EXTENSION OF JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT Mr. Powell noted this agreement would extend the agreement currently in effect with the Southeast Area Animal Control Authority ( SEAACA) for another ten years to June 30, 2007 and that the City could withdraw in any given year. He mentioned this agreement makes two additional changes to the agreement relating to cities being able to withdraw from SEAACA. The first change allows a withdrawing city to participate in the distribution of assets should SEAACA ever be dissolved and liquidated in the future. The second change concerns a city's ability to withdraw because it objects to a capital project being proposed for the SEAACA budget in that it allows a City to withdraw and not incur any liability for the capital project. It was moved by Council Member McCaughan, seconded by Council Member McCarthy, and unanimously carried (3 -0) to approve the extension of the joint powers agreement for the Southeast Area Animal Control Authority.
