Police staff are preparing a COPS grant application to fund a full-time position and are negotiating an animal-shelter arrangement with Ellie's Pet Hotel; the council discussed updating the animal control ordinance.
Public Works Director Payden Vine said the city was meeting current water demand but warned that warmer weather next week could increase usage and require monitoring.
The police department reported that Police Secretary Lisa Clark was preparing a COPS grant application with Officer Jordan Harper to pursue funding for a full-time position. Staff also discussed progress on securing an animal-shelter solution; Jeremy Kimpton said he met with Adam from Ellie's Pet Hotel about housing impounded dogs separately from the general population while the city works out contract costs and terms. The council discussed updating the animal control ordinance to clarify how long the city would pay for sheltering animals before other measures are considered.
