Council clarifies animal-control coverage: county primary, Lonear as backup
Summary
Staff told council that Waller County remains the primary animal-control contractor while Lonear Animal Control is used as a secondary responder for calls the county will not handle; the arrangement explains a recurring animal-control line in the budget.
Council members asked how animal control is funded and who responds to calls inside city limits. Staff explained the police department coordinates animal-control work: Waller County is the main contractor and the city maintains a secondary contract with Lonear Animal Control to respond to situations (snakes, small animals, calls the county will not handle).
A council member said in some past instances they had to call Waller directly; staff asked residents to call the police department for city incidents so the department can dispatch the contracted responders. The budget retains a modest animal-control line to cover these contracted services.
