IF LAST(TUE) NITE’S WORK SESSION IS ANY INDICATION, THE BURLINGTON CITY COUNCIL WILL SOON INCREASE ITS IMPOUND FEES AND IMPOSE A 15-DOLLAR-A-DAY BOARDING FEE FOR STRAY DOGS AND CATS THE CITY PICKS UP. BURLINGTON POLICE MAJOR DARREN GRIMSHAW SAYS THE CITY GETS BETWEEN 25-HUNDRED AND 32-HUNDRED ANIMAL CALLS A YEAR.

THE COUNCIL…MINUS CHRIS REED, WHO WASN’T THERE…AGREED BY CONSENSUS TO GO WITH THE BPD’S RECOMMENDATIONS.  BY THE WAY, NOT CLEANING UP AFTER YOUR POOCH IS A VIOLATION OF CITY ORDINANCE.
