We could make a change to the Charter and have a dog catcher.
Mayor Donchess
We have a dog catcher, but he or she doesn’t take care of animals longer term.

ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Caron
Is this going to help our lighting system on Main Street?
Mayor Donchess
We have six broken circuits or sensors in the street. They get broken by plows and wintertime operations and
other things. Part of this contract is for some of these to put cameras on the poles in a configuration that will
not be destroyed or ruined by snow plowing. The camera functions automatically to see whether there is
traffic. They think it will improve things to some degree, but it’s not going to make a night and day because of
the volume in traffic. It won’t make a night and day type change.
Alderman Caron
Any little improvement | think is okay. Thank you.
Alderman Siegel
| suspect this will keep George Russell from constantly carping about the Main Street lights.
