In additional New Business not on the agenda, Chief Hart said the Mayor had asked the Police Department to explore the feasibility of an animal shelter. She asked him to gather costs etc., and that that the item be brought to this committee for discussion. The suggestion resulted from a letter written by a school class that had concerns about the County shelter. It was questioned how the proposal would be funded. Chairman Werderich said it could be pursued through the committee or be moved directly to the Council. However, he suggested that more Mayoral direction is needed prior to further discussion or research. Chief Hart will gather some information for discussion prior to the next meeting.
