Resident urges council to address lack of cat-specific animal control services
Summary
During open forum, resident Linda Adams asked the council how to pursue solutions for cat-related animal control issues and offered to help with a 2027 budget request, saying cats deserve as much attention as dogs.
During the meeting's open forum, resident Linda Adams, 350 Denley Drive, asked the Waukee City Council whether the city had made progress on creating animal-control services specific to cats and how she could engage with the process for future budgets. Adams said she has previously raised the issue at a prior meeting and is willing to help advance solutions for the 2027 budget cycle.
"I think I spoke at one of the previous meetings about the lack of animal control for cats. And I just didn't know if city council has gotten anywhere with, a solution to that or if they're working on it," Adams said. She asked whom she should contact to pursue the issue and offered to provide assistance to staff or the council.
Mayor Clark responded that Adams could remain after the meeting to discuss details with staff. The council did not take formal action on Adams's request during the meeting; staff follow-up and specific next steps or timelines were not specified.
