From the meeting
Council was scheduled to authorize acceptance of an approximately $850,000 gift from the Estate of Victoria Alice Heys for the benefit of New Westminster Animal Services. Staff also sought authority to create a reserve fund dedicated to City Animal Services. This is funding-driven, and it may support future purchases or service improvements within animal services.

Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
