City and County clash over humane shelter funding plan
Ottawa city officials debated renaming the Franklin County Humane Society if the county fails to cover its $500 yearly share of the $3,000 annual operating cost. Dr. John Thornburg urged more funds, suggesting utility bill cuts, but the council rejected that idea. The county commissioners were not available for comment. The meeting also covered sewer bids, a Maple Street project, a parking canopy plan on S Walnut, a garage fire, grass fires, and a proposed North Sycamore parking zone.
