Animal Shelter Agreement Adjusted

Macomb, IL – McDonough County is changing its agreement with Macomb that covers support of the animal shelter. County Board Chairman Bob Harwick says the previous agreement had the city paying too much. Now each entity will contribute $27,000 per year. In addition, the budgeting process is being changed. Harwick says each year's budget will set aside a certain amount for eventual vehicle replacement. Beforehand, the cost of a new truck came out of one year's budget. Harwick says the change will make budgeting easier.
