The Uvalde City Council spent over an hour at Tuesday’s March 25th meeting discussing a proposed agreement with the Briscoe Animal Resource Center where the City’s pound and the BARC animal shelter would occupy the new facility being built. Under the new agreement, the city would pay for utilities as well as pay a per diem rate for animals impounded at the facility. The shared building would have separate spaces for impounded animals and the shelter animals. BARC staff and volunteers would care for all the animals freeing up time for the two city animal control officers. Mayor Hector Luevano and others considered the cost to the city of not entering into an agreement with BARC which would require the city to bring its pound up to code.
