Animal Control Officer, Joe Rossmiller gave the report. There was 21 dogs and 32 cats in the shelter at the end of July.
Humane Society
They raised $26,300.00 in the Nemec challenge.
Policies and Procedures
None.
Cat Registrations
Chair Clark has been collecting information on statutes regarding registering cats. County Treasurer Angie Graves believes this will be a great source for additional revenue but her office wouldn’t be prepared to start this until December 2024 for the year 2025.
Village Reimbursement
In the past villages reimbursed animal control for each trip they made to retrieve animals. A discussion was held to consider reinstating this but charge a flat fee instead of for each trip. A flat fee would make it easier for the Villages to prepare their budget.
GIS Update
No report.

Other
None.
County Board Chair Comments
None.
