are steadily coming in and the animal control officer is becoming busier in
this second quarter as he is becoming more comforta6le with fhe city and
call volumes are rising. The Animal Control Officer completed his state
training. Chair.Peloza requested that the non-domesfic calls be defined to
include whattype of non-domestic animals the officer was being called out
to. Member Partridge questioned whether the citations written were being
handled at the court level and what the status was on some of those
citations. Because the citations are being handled at the court level, it is
unknown what the outcome is on them. Assistant Chief Pierson informed

Veterinary Clinic to control cost due to bills received from local clinics
running rather high at times. The contract includes a cap of$150/per
