ANIMAL CONTROL DEPARTMENT
The City Service Department employs a full-time Animal Warden. The Animal Warden is responsible for the enforcement of all State, County and Local Ordinances that apply to the maintenance, disposition and control of all domestic animals such as, but not limited to, dogs and cats. Other responsibilities include dealing with deceased, injured or threatening wildlife. Traps may be provided to residents for purposes of catching feral cats only.
The Animal Warden also picks up or captures stray dogs and cats. Owners are then located and notified about their pets. The City Service Department has a temporary holding kennel for animals which is maintained by the Animal Warden. Donations to the City Kennel Fund are graciously accepted.
The Animal Warden does not handle nuisance animals such as skunks, raccoons, squirrels, opossums, which usually take up residence under decks, sheds or even in chimneys; but will be able to provide sound advice on how to handle nuisance situations involving these animals.
