Guest proposes trap-and-release program for feral cats; economic developer presents billboard bid
Summary
At the Aug. 19 meeting, Tammy Burns proposed a citywide trap-and-release program for feral cats and Economic Developer Kevin Buck presented a $27,000 digital billboard bid; the council referred the feral-cat proposal to the Police and Fire Committee for further consideration.
Tammy Burns presented a proposal for a citywide trap-and-release program addressing feral cats and asked the council to consider a formal program. Alderman Fred Stottlemyre said he would arrange a Police and Fire Committee meeting to discuss the item further; no formal vote to adopt a program was recorded.
Economic Developer Kevin Buck presented a bid of $27,000 for a digital billboard. Council members received the presentation but took no recorded action on the billboard at the Aug. 19 meeting.
Nut graf: Both items were introduced as presentations: the feral-cat proposal was referred for committee consideration, while the digital-billboard bid was presented as an information item without formal council action.
The meeting’s public-comments section recorded no speakers. Later in the meeting City Administrator Lloyd Wells reported that the City of Willow Springs funds its program through donations and volunteers rather than grants, per his follow-up.
