There were quite a few speakers on the topic of pets and the humane society. They were concerned about two things:
- the alarming deterioration of the humane society while nothing seems to progress on finding a new director. It’s been open since October 2020. Employees are quitting and it sounds like the wheels are coming off the whole operation.
I truly don’t know what the hold up is. A lack of applicants? Paying too little? Lack of urgency?
- Item 28, banning the sale of out of town cats and dogs at local pet stores. Apparently this is a widespread ordinance in towns – mandate that pet stores must sell animals from the local population, rather than import animals from puppy mills and the like. Sounds like a win-win to me.
We shall see how Hour 4 goes, however, when we get there!
Also in the first hour, we annexed land and approved two gas stations. One down 123, at Clovis Barker, towards the high school. The other on I-35, at Trace Development. Done & done.
