The joint work session, which delayed the regular council meeting by two hours, was much like the last few bond committee meetings, with the topic generating a debate about whether the city needs a shelter.Police Chief David Shilson said the city’s animal services department has three goals — reuniting pets with their owners, education and adoption/spay neuter clinics.The police chief discussed staffing issues, euthanasia and legal issues that having an animal shelter could bring to the city.
Mayor Jeff Cheney said putting something on a bond that staffers do not need crosses a line, and is like telling staff how to do their jobs.Frisco’s Pet Project, an animal advocacy group, has beenfor years. Several members of the group attended the meeting, saying it is a missed opportunity for a city the size of Frisco and could help Collin County Animal Services, which is overwhelmed.
Some told council the numbers presented by the police chief do not tell the whole story because it does not take into account all of the animal groups who help with strays and rescues within the city.
