Richmond Metro Zoo frequencies
I could be misinformed but It is my understanding that the "zoo" is not located in the city but at a private individual's farm located in the NW portion of Chesterfield Co. off Rt. 360 (Hull St.) near Moseley approximately 10-15 miles SW of Richmond city.
Here are the frequencies for WQDS525.
(MHZ)
RECEIVE (OUTPUT) TRANSMIT (INPUT)
153.0875 | 158.3475 Repeater Input
159.5625 | 159.5625 Simplex
159.6225 | 159.6225 Simplex
159.6975 | 159.6975 Simplex
159.7575 | 159.7575 Simplex
159.9525 | 159.9525 Simplex
PLs unknown.
Have a good trip.

Iding repeater inputs sometimes is very difficult
My experience has been some licensees are very easy. Some are very difficult and some almost impossible to figure out without off air monitoring them. Following is my best guess analysis, not fact. In the example you listed 155.250 mhz. is a repeater output based on the FCC Station Class "FB2" with one unit licensed. My best guess is 155.2500 mhz. is used for paging/announcements. 155.6250 mhz. also is a "FB2" repeater licensed for 125 mobiles @ 125 watts. There are 3 high vhf mobile frequencies listed 155.9700 mhz., 156.0900 mhz. and 158.9100 mhz. 158.9100 mhz. is a low power 5 watt frequency possibly used for low power mobile simplex tac or surveillance. Since 155.9700 mhz is a mobile frequency licensed for 125 units @ 125 watts my best guess it is input to 155.6250 mhz. My guess for 156.0900 mhz. @ 100 watts is a mobile to mobile simplex tac frequency..
See how easy it is.....not. Remember I never stated the above discussion is correct. You never know for sure until the frequencies are monitored and confirmed as being correct or changed to the correct frequency relationship(s).

you were close up there 155.25 is a repeater at the county jail/courthouse and 625 is the actual sheriff but you say that the low power 5 watts wouldnt be an imput? that would be a tac?

Repeater/frequency relationships
Repeater frequency input relationships and the specific users of repeaters are two different subjects. Your question related to repeater input frequency relationships. My monitoring experience has shown low power mobile frequencies also can be inputs to repeaters such HTs used in school, manufacturing, warehousing, and other private sector environments. The repeater power typically is in the 40 watt range or less and does not have a fixed base control input.
However, in my opinion, for public service licensed (police/fire/ems) low power mobiles typically, but not always, are used for tac/ surveillance simplex but also may be used for vehicle repeaters (usually very low power) and other control purposes where appropriate such as VFDs/FDs responding units temporary cause selected traffic lights to display "green" as they pass though them along the route to a fire.call.
