Freudenreich Animal Care Trust Fund Committee

The Freudenreich Animal Care Fund was created after the City of Platteville received a monetary gift from the Georgeanne M. Freudenreich estate. Half of the annual earnings may be spent on animal care related expenses and programs. The principal balance may be spent for certain limited purposes, but only by 2/3 vote of the Council. The Freudenreich Animal Care Advisory Committee shall be responsible for administration of the fund and presenting an annual budget to the Common Council.

A member’s length of term shall be three years. Members may be re-appointed to a second term, but must wait one year after the second term before they may be reappointed. Members are five residents of Platteville School District, at least three of whom shall be city residents. Among these five shall be representatives of each veterinary clinic in the City of Platteville. Three ex-officio members are one Alderperson, one representative from the Treasurer’s Office and one representative from the Police Department. Each member is appointed by the Council President and confirmed by the Council.

The Committee meets quarterly and/or on an as-needed basis.
