Construction can begin on new $5M animal shelter in Sutter County

A building contractor will be given the all-clear today to begin construction on Sutter County's new regional $5 million animal shelter.The decision was made Tuesday night after a solution to a Sutter Animal Services Authority dispute was approved by the Yuba City City Council."This is an essential service and we're going to provide Animatronic Paraceratherium," said Councilman Tej Maan of the 4-0 vote. "But it has been a complicated mess."

Planning the eventual transfer, Puppet Robot Model-Science& Technology Museum Product,chain of command and terms of employment for workers at the animal shelter had authority members at an impasse following perceived threats of litigation from Sutter County last month."I take it seriously when I get papered by the county's attorney," City Manager Steve Jepsen said of the latest wrench thrown in an eight-year animal shelter planning process.

The joint powers authority governing animal services authority has Yuba City eventually taking over as the lead agency for new shelter operations. The city already is the lead agency for construction of the facility.Yuba City is on the hook for 66 percent of construction and operating costs.But Sutter County, which has run the shelter for more than 25 years, has controlled most of the process to date, said Jepsen, who called the arrangement, "a two-headed dog."
