City of Reno Animal Services Task Force Meeting Thurs

The City of Reno Animal Services Task Force is holding a public meeting this Thursday, March 29th @ 6PM. 

The meeting will be held at the Reno City Council Chambers, 1 E. 1st Street. 

The public is invited to make comments to address concerns regarding Washoe County Regional Animal Services.

The Regional Animal Services Task Force has about a month to finalize its review of animal services and would like your input. The Task Force is meeting this Thursday evening, March 29, beginning at 6 p.m. in the City Hall Council Chambers, One East First Street. 

The City Council formed the group to look in to regional animal services operations and whether recommendations from a 2009 consultant's report have been implemented. Voters approved a property tax increase of up to three cents to pay for a new facility and animal services. There is a surplus of more than $4.5 million in funds. 

The Task Force recently toured the Longley Lane facility, which is now under the direction of the Washoe County Sheriff's Office. The group is compiling a report with their findings and possible recommendations, including new hours and more staff at the facility. The report is due to the City Council on April 25, 2012. 


 Please be there!
