Residents urge more dog-waste stations; council asks staff for options
Summary
A public commenter and Councilmember Holland raised concerns about dog waste not being picked up; the council discussed installing additional dog-waste bag stations as a potential solution but did not adopt a measure at the April 15 meeting.
During public comment at the April 15 meeting, a resident identified as Jessica told the council she was concerned about persistent dog waste not being disposed of properly in Ruston and asked whether the City could install additional dog-waste bag stations. Councilmember Holland later echoed dissatisfaction with people not cleaning up after pets and requested possible solutions from staff.
The minutes record the request but do not show a formal motion or funding commitment to install stations. Council follow-up was requested so staff can present options and possible locations; no procurement or timeline was recorded in the minutes.
