Public Comments-Emily Castagno, lives on Sheridan st, Huge problem with cats, increasingly worse over the last year, travel trailer, garden side by side park strip, all have been turned into litter boxes and ruining property. They carry diseases and are very loud at certain times. How can we control them? Consequences?? Many litters are all over town. Joe Johnston also has strays all over his home. Programs can come to property, locate/trap cats, spay or neuter them and return them, not the solution but maybe can look in to this program. They are also good mousers. Humane Society maybe? Has been issue in the past. Mayor will talk with Grantsville and Tooele. Can we stop feeding the stray cats? Steve- what shelters will take them? Usually shelters won't take them? Stressing the health concerns. Garden is covered in feces, now has to have ground tested. Tried the garlic and trying to keep cats off property. Works until sprinklers and rain comes.
