PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
CITIZEN COMMENTS
Heather Merrill said she lives in a family neighborhood where several families, including hers, have cats.
She is concerned about the way the East Wenatchee ordinance reads, which allows a neighbor to bait and
trap cats trespassing on his property, then have the cats picked up by the Wenatchee Valley Humane
Society.
Robert Merrill said his family is planning on taking a vacation and he is concerned about having someone
come and care for his family's cats for fear they might get out, get trapped and sent to the Humane
Society while he is away. He asked Council to consider suspending enforcement of trapping cats until the
issue can be discussed.
iu r:W@] W*1T*1i1 m
Mayor Lacy said he lives in the neighborhood where the trapping of cats is occurring. He said a
discussion is scheduled for the July 10 Council meeting. He added the ordinance is vague. He said per
East Wenatchee Municipal Code 6.04.130 (A), cats may be at large, however, 6.04.130 (E), states animals
may not trespass upon property of another. This is a conflict in the ordinance, which needs to be
corrected.
Councilmember Nash said the ordinance has been in place for eighteen years and there has not been any
complaints regarding these sections in the past. She added, she would like to hear from the person
trapping the cats before taking any action.
Councilmember Hendricks said he does not want to make a decision based on emotions and would like to
reserve comments until the discussion with the Humane Society occurs at the July 10 Council meeting.
Council Action: A motion was made by Councilmember Stanton, second by Councilmember Aiken to
suspend all portions of the animal control ordinance relating to the trapping and baiting of domestic cats
for a period of thirty days for Council discussion. The motion carried, 4-2. (Nash, Hendricks)
