Card files reflecting location of call and number of citations issued are being transferred to a database and will provide more accessibility for animal control usage. PetsWhere is a program that is up and running and will aid in the ability to retrieve lost pets. Robb noted that all animal control files are being entered into the computer. Bob Hohman reported that information on dead animals picked up on the streets and disposed of will now be recorded so that an owner who is looking for a lost pet that might have been hit and killed by a car will know what happened to their pet. Robb Nance reported that refunds on animal traps are being made more quickly now that a safe has been installed in the shelter.
Payment is held in the safe until the trap is returned.
At that time, the money or check is returned to the citizen. Bob is requesting that the officers be certified by the Texas Animal Control Association. Many improvements are planned for the animal shelter. Bob noted that under the master plan all Briery facilities, including the shelter, would be remodeled. The mosquito control compound will be combined with the animal shelter.
