Animal Shelter District Design Task Order
Approved task order RPAO-03-25-051 for supplemental animal shelter district design with Tate Snyder Kimsey Architects under SOQ 607190-24 master services agreement. This advances alternatives to address overcrowding at the current existing shelter.
Liquor Code Amendment Direction - Structural Barrier Requirements
