Waynesboro City Council on Oct. 15 voted to table action on a proposed memorandum of understanding among the cities of Stanton and Waynesboro and the county of Augusta concerning a new animal shelter proposed at 1011 Lee Highway in Verona.

Mayor (presiding) said staff had not vetted a recent change to the MOU. Councilmember Mister Short moved to table the item until staff could review the revised language; the motion was seconded and passed by voice vote.

Why it matters: The MOU would govern interjurisdictional responsibilities for a regional animal shelter; tabling the item delays any authorization for the city manager to execute the agreement until staff completes its review.

What's next: Staff will review the revised MOU language and the item will return to council for further consideration when staff has completed its review.
