Longmont staff pulled a proposed contract with the Longmont Humane Society at the Jan. 13 City Council meeting after City Attorney Eugene May flagged three paragraphs on page 5 that referenced undocumented immigrants and that came from a now-repealed state statute.
May said staff were using an older contract template that still included language required by a state bill that has since been repealed; the paragraphs should be removed before executing the agreement. Council Member Prieto raised the concern; council agreed to remove the language and then voted to approve the corrected contract. The motion to approve the resolution authorizing the contract, with the removal of the obsolete paragraphs, passed unanimously.
Next step: staff will remove the paragraphs and proceed with contract execution.
