Council designates animal intake location after shelter license loss, limits intake to animals obtained by officers
Summary
The council approved a resolution designating 11215 Highway 37 as an animal intake location after the prior operator lost its license; City Attorney Andy Borland said the designation covers animals taken in by police or community service officers and does not obligate the city to accept animals brought in by private citizens.
The council voted to designate a facility at 11215 Highway 37 as the city’s intake or pound for animals obtained by law enforcement or community service officers after the previous shelter lost its license.
City Attorney Andy Borland said the resolution in the council packet designates the intake location "only for those animals that are, that our police department and or our community service officers, obtain," and that it does not obligate the city to accept animals brought to the facility by private citizens.
Borland told council the designation meets a statutory need to identify a location to house animals obtained through official duties but does not convert the city into a full‑time animal shelter. Council approved the motion by voice vote.
