Committee reallocates up to $60,000 from animal-control surplus to fund two community service officer positions
Summary
The finance committee approved a motion to move up to $60,000 from the animal control fund surplus to pay for two community service officer II positions focusing on humane enforcement and animal welfare services.
The Common Council Finance Committee approved a motion to reallocate up to $60,000 from the animal control fund surplus to support two community service officer II positions responsible for humane enforcement and animal welfare services.
Alder Watson moved the funding reallocation; Alder McElaney seconded. Committee members voted in favor without recorded objection.
Committee discussion on Oct. 27 confirmed the funds would come from the animal control fund’s available surplus rather than the levy. The motion directs finance staff to transfer the designated amount to support the two positions’ personnel costs for the coming year.
The committee did not specify long-term funding for the positions as part of the motion; members noted that future budget cycles would revisit staffing and funding questions.
