Board of Health for Madison and Dane County Resolution #2023-26 Authorization to Accept Funds from Ekiyah Keyon Davis for Court Ordered Restitution
Body
Public Health Madison and Dane County (PHMDC) proposes the acceptance of $1,635 from Ekiyah Keyon Davis for court ordered restitution of funds spent by Dane County Humane Society (DCHS) to care for Davis’ dog, Cannoli, that was impounded due to welfare concerns. Cannoli received care for 90 days to bring him up to a healthy weight and address other medical issues. PHMDC paid DCHS $906 (55%) for Cannoli’s care during impound. DCHS did not invoice PHMDC the remaining $729 (45%) of the costs they incurred that represents the amount DCHS paid towards Cannoli’s care.
PHMDC will receive these funds in monthly payments of $150 until the full amount of the ordered restitution is paid. PHMDC will forward $67.50 of each payment to DCHS to cover their share of the costs. The funds retained by PHMDC will be returned to the Department’s Animal Services budget (Org code 32206, Obj code 53210 Work Supplies) and be used to pay for program expenses.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Health for Madison and Dane County on behalf of Public Health Madison and Dane County authorizes the Director of Public Health, or their designee, to accept and expend the funding, and increase the 2023 Public Health Budget by $1,635.
