City of Mitchell to Address Animal Control Issues
MITCHELL - JUNE 7, 2022 - During the Mitchell City Council meeting Monday night, members voted to hire a person to enforce the animal control ordinances. The person hired would be part-time who will be paid $15 and work no more than 20 hours.
The ordinance requires all dogs/cats to be on a leash. This measure would help address issues the town has been experiencing with Ferral cats and dogs running loose. The city will also enforce all other animal control ordinances. The city attorney will be drafting an ordinance to allow this person to be able to act on these matters.
