The current contract provides for 2% of total license revenue collected from <br />Eugene licenses sold to be used for aloes-income spay and neuter voucher program. When the FY06 <br />contract is negotiated, the City will propose to increase the license revenue dedicated to the voucher <br />program administered at the Spay Neuter Clinic to 3% of Eugene license revenues. The County's current <br />estimate of FY06 Eugene license revenue is $157,000 which would increase the voucher program to <br />$4,700 from the FY05 amount of $3,000. <br />11 <br />
