Clearlake City Council received an animal care and control report on Feb. 17 and issued two proclamations recognizing Black History Month and Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month.
Chief White announced a personnel shift in the police department's support services: Sergeant Snyder was promoted to acting lieutenant and will lead the division that oversees animal care and control; Lieutenant Hobbs moved to operations. Lieutenant Snyder reported that, from Jan. 1 through the current reporting date, the shelter took in 55 dogs; 45 of those dogs have left the shelter — 28 to out-of-county rescues, 10 returned to owners, 7 adopted, and 1 euthanized — and the shelter currently has a live-release rate of 98.2%.
The council was shown an adoptable dog named Edgar; shelter staff described Edgar as a 1½-year-old neutered mixed-breed with current vaccinations and a microchip who "enjoys riding in cars and playing fetch." Shelter visitors and staff encouraged adoption and provided contact information for the Clearlake Animal Shelter at (707) 273-9440 and facility hours and address.
Council also presented a proclamation recognizing February 2022 as Black History Month. Representatives from the Lake County NAACP spoke about the community's long history of recognizing Black History Month and the importance of celebrating diversity. The council also proclaimed February 2022 as Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month; Sherry Young, victim services program director at Lake Family Resource Center (joining via Zoom), accepted and urged conversation and education to prevent teen dating violence among youth.
No public comments were offered during the meeting's public-comment period.
