(A) The pound keeper shall be allowed his or her expenses for taking up and impounding the animal and for its subsistence while in his or her custody, plus any additional compensation as may be provided by the City Council; and if he or she shall make a sale as provided in this subchapter, he or she shall be allowed 5% of the sale price and the cost of posting and publishing notice.
(B) In the event that the sale price is not sufficient to meet the foregoing expenses and fees allowed to the pound keeper, or if there be no sale and the animal is disposed of otherwise, the city shall pay to the pound keeper the difference as may be necessary to compensate him or her up to the total amount of his or her expenses and fees.
