Pennock council approves pet-waste signs, orders recycling dumpster removed
Summary
At its March 4 meeting the Pennock City Council agreed to buy four “clean up after your pet” signs after a resident request and voted to remove an abused public recycling dumpster; both motions passed though vote tallies were not specified in the minutes.
Deputy Mayor Bruce Bastin called the Pennock City Council to order on March 4, 2025, and the council moved quickly from routine consent business to citizen requests.
During the citizens forum, resident Kayla Puchalski asked the council to place signage reminding residents to clean up after dogs. Administrator/Clerk-Treasurer Dawn Johnson said another resident had inquired about installing pet waste stations. Council member Shane Dillabough moved to purchase four “clean up after your pet” signs. Council member Lance Crowe seconded the motion and the council approved it (vote tally not specified).
Later in new business council members discussed ongoing problems with an outdoor public recycling dumpster that has been abused. Council member Dillabough moved to remove the dumpster; Council member Crowe seconded and the motion passed (vote tally not specified).
The council did not attach funding amounts to the dumpster removal in the minutes, and no vendor or timeline for removal was recorded. The minutes show the pet-sign purchase and dumpster removal were approved by voice motions; formal roll-call tallies were not included.
The council also noted other community maintenance concerns, including fading paint on the south side of the city building, but took no formal action on that item during the meeting.
The council adjourned at 8:50 p.m.; official minutes will be approved at the next meeting.
