EXPLANATION:
DEPARTMENT: Police
APPROVED BY:
On December 7, 2010, during Oral Communications, Ana Brown, representing the Feral Cat Coalition,
requested Council to consider changing the language in the City's Municipal Code as the current
Municipal Code does not allow for the feeding, trapping, and releasing of feral cats into the area they
are impounded from. The Feral Cat Coalition stated that the Animal Regulations Officers traps and
euthanizes the feral cats.
The Feral Cat Coalition also raised concerns regarding the job description of the City's Animal
Regulation Officer to have the job description more defined and to have the Animal Regulation Officer to
stop trapping and euthanizing feral cats.
The attached report is the response to the request of the Feral Cat Coalition.
