Starting with opportunities - working with HR to restructure their dept. to gain efficiencies and to work with the CAO's to implement new technologies. Could possibly address Wildlife Services to the City contracts

p. 1 - Consumer and Pest Management - USDA Wildlife Services - would be a good topic to work with the Cities about absorbing some of these costs to continue the service. Sup. Rexroad inquired about numbers of animals trapped - John presented that info. Coyotes, 1257 visits, 201 animals removed . Racoons, beavers, feral swine, skunks. Sup.
