The <br />County will make no changes to its procedures that are inconsistent with the <br />terms of this Exhibit A, except that upon the recommendation of the Joint <br />City -County Committee, the County may agree to modify response with <br />respect to calls involving animals other than horses, livestock, dogs and cats. <br />f.
