The Town Manager said the Springfield Humane Society has asked for an increase in its contract for dog impoundment services because the base payment had not been adjusted for many years and the organization faces financial strain. The proposed amendment raises the Town's base payment to $10,000 beginning July 2026, then to $12,000 in July 2027, and $14,000 in July 2028, with future increases tied to CPI adjustments.
The Manager confirmed the payment schedule fits within projected cash flow and tax collections. The Board authorized the Manager to sign the contract amendment 4‑0.
