Kyle Dodge updated the Mona City Council with his position as animal control officer.

He said that there had been some complaints with the barking and had to put down straw to cut down on the echo in the temporary facility.

He also said that he had tried to get the truck inspected and was told by Harmon Tire that the tires wouldn't pass, and that the couldn't do an inspection because the truck didn't have a VIN number visible and no paperwork.

Everd Squire, treasurer, said that he had the paperwork with the VIN number on it and to come and get it.

Dodge asked what his jurisdiction covered. He said that he had been asked to come out to Young Living Farms, but told them that the truck wasn't licensed and couldn't drive out that far.

He asked the council about the status of a permanent animal control building to house the animals. Harry Newell, council member, said that they didn't know what available city property could be used. Mayor Bryce Lynn said they would have to look into that matter.
