Volunteer to restart low-cost rabies clinic; council OK with outreach to Vernon ZIP code
Summary
A volunteer reported a successful low-cost clinic and offered to run another event mid-August or September for $10 rabies/$20 additional vaccines; council agreed to support outreach including residents in the Vernon ZIP code.
A resident volunteer updated council on a recent low-cost rabies and vaccination clinic and said a local veterinarian is willing to run another event in mid-August or September.
The organizer said the clinic charges $10 for rabies vaccines and $20 for other vaccines such as parvo and leptospirosis. She said turnout was modest (about 10 pets on a prior outing) and asked whether the city wanted outreach limited to city limits or to include people living in the Vernon ZIP code outside city boundaries; the volunteer said she preferred to help as many pets as possible.
Council members agreed the organizer could begin planning and advertising; the city noted mailing and posting options for outreach and suggested providing flyers to customers who come pay water bills to reach residents who may not use social media.
Next steps: volunteer will set a date and advertise; council indicated no formal vote was needed to proceed with community outreach and the volunteer will coordinate registration logistics with staff.
