Resident asks about town animal control, shelter and 2025 finances; clerk offered documents
Summary
A Malone resident asked whether the town will reestablish an animal shelter and requested financial records; the supervisor said records may be inspected in person or provided by email through the clerk.
During public comment at the March 25 Town Board meeting, resident Shannon Fren asked who is responsible for dog control and whether the Town of Malone plans to operate an animal shelter again. Fren requested the town’s 2025 financial report, the shelter and dog control officer agreement, and the town’s five-year plan for animal control.
Supervisor Terrence Maguire responded that Fren is welcome to review the records in person or that the town clerk can email the requested documents. The board did not take additional action at the meeting to create or fund a municipal shelter or to change dog-control arrangements.
Fren’s request will require staff follow-up to deliver records or to provide further information about the town’s animal-control arrangements and any agreements with third parties. The transcript does not specify whether the town currently contracts with an animal-control officer or a shelter, nor does it provide a timeline or budget for any changes to animal-control services.
