Police Chief Mark Richards reported the pound will be out of service for a couple of weeks while repairs are made. Repairs include replacing broken pipes, replacing and repairing kennels, insulating walls, and painting. Richards said this will not affect the enforcement of animal-related ordinances.

Morey noted a dry startup on the clarifiers will be next week. Crews are waiting on dry weather to finish the roof installation.
