Animal Limit
Off record: Some issues with one of the ones we want to change during the hording situation
• Dr Jennifer White: 12 weeks then considered owned pets
• Resident: Have a subset for legitimate fosters and require a letter from the foster with the
dog’s name that is owned by them the time period they anticipate the dog in the home. They
need to update the city of the status of that foster when adopted or if the time is extended in
care, we will need a new letter.
Stop current trapping program
MC: Biggest abusers are Waters Edge and The Tribute: using AS as a pest control service
MC: Costing us more money in traps and manpower when we are needed for other calls.
MC: Residents are using non skunk traps to trap skunks then expect AS to take the animals. Our
officers get sprayed then we must let them go home and shower and change and we lose the
manpower at the office plus puts them at a health risk.
MC: When you move them 40% don’t survive so we are endangering our wildlife.
DJW: Can you limit the calls to 2 calls per year per household.
Resident Input: After the 2 calls per year per household, additional calls would be $100 service fee
per call. If it is a skunk, they need to be using proper traps, or we will not pick up.
BW: Have manhour numbers, potential costs, etc., available when presenting to council.
Registering In-Home Doggie Daycares and Pet Facilities
1.4 Announce Nicole Kohanski as the new volunteer Shelter Behaviorist
MC: Here 3 to 4 times a week volunteering and working with staff and volunteers on how to
properly handle and care for.
