Request that the County Judge execute an amendment to a professional services exemption agreement and a renewal option with Dr. Amanda Hall in the amount of $99,000 to update the agreement-type and increase the rate of hourly compensation for the contractor for veterinary services for Public Health Services through November 8, 2024, with no increase in the total contract amount.

Background and Discussion:
Harris County Veterinary Public Health has available opportunities, due to understaffing, for veterinarians to
provide relief services under a personal service agreement. Services include up to 40 spay/neuter surgeries
per day with some exam and treatments of current shelter animals or owned animals through the Wellness
Clinic.
Expected Impact:
This will serve a public purpose of Harris County, Texas by reducing the number of unaltered dogs and cats and
improving the health of dogs and cats in Harris County, Texas
Alternative Options:
Alternative option would be not to fund the relief veterinarian and reduce the number of shelter animals
surgeries and possibly reduce the services and the hours that the Wellness Clinic is open to the public.
Alignment with Goal(s):
_ Justice and Safety
_ Economic Opportunity
