City, county back shelter as shared service option
City Manager Scott Lambers said the 1998 shelter budget rose to hire a new employee as 1,450 animals were processed last year and almost 1,400 this year. County chairman Tom Weigand invited officials to consider sharing space at the county shop at 1939 S. Elm, with one work day available and potential expansion. Blaine Finch welcomed a look at the idea.
