Bonnie Scripps from the Humane Society announced that the Bushnell 4H Club held a fundraiser to collect cat and dog food. On March 23rd and 24th the YMCA will be holding their Family Show Fundraiser and the shelter will have some cats there on display. The current agreement between the City of Macomb and McDonough County regarding the Animal Shelter was passed out, this agreement was signed in December of 2004. Gayle Carper suggested that it might be a good idea to update the committee on section 4. If there is an agreement between the Humane Society and the County Board she would like a signed copy. The building site for the new animal shelter will be east of the current shelter and she will present it to the City as well. The estimate to have a septic system installed for the new shelter is $20,000 to $40,000.
