Subject: Exclusive Animal Patrol
For Oakland Township
Gentlemen:
LETTER OF UNDERSTANDING
As we have previously stated, we support your new graduated pick-up and
impoundment fees for dogs caught running at large. We also recognize
the difficulty of apprehending the offending animals when it is done in
response to a telephone call.
We believe that the adoption of this new graduated fee scale in the first
of two important steps in resolving the problem of dogs running at large.
The second step, is of course, the implementation of a concentrated and
meaningful patrol by animal control officers.
To this end, please accept this "Letter of Understanding" as our formal
request that members of your staff be assigned to patrol specific areas
of our Township on a regular basis for a four week period. Per our
conversation, this exclusive extra effort would necessarily be on an
overtime basis at a total hourly cost of $16.37 (covering all county
costs).
Initially, this extra effort should be limited to Township patrols from
6-8 A.M. (two hours prior to regular starting time) and 4:30-6:30 P.M.
(two hours after regular stopping time) Monday through Friday for two
consecutive weeks. This two week effort would then stop for two weeks,
to obtain feedback, followed by a second two week effort, at the end of
which this trial program would terminate.

Since feedback is critical in evaluating the success of this trial program,
please request that your officers document all animal pick-ups in addition
to providing other significant information that will guide us in future
efforts to discourage our dogs running at large problem.
Please proceed with the implementation of this program as soon as possible
using this 'Letter of Understanding" as your authority.
Sincerely yours,
