I suggest that we have weekend coverage. Animals don't adhere to a M-F schedule, and the service that my friends experienced on weekends was not good. Thanks! Cheryl Heineman

CITY COUNCIL MEETING - AUGUST 5, 2025 - WRITTEN PUBLIC COMMENTS FROM RESIDENT CHERYL HEINEMAN BUSINESS SESSION ITEM NO. 1 - RIVERSIDE COUNTY ANIMAL SERVICES AGREEMENT 1 From: Kay Wolff <[email protected]>

Subject: ANIMAL CONTROL CONTRACT BUSINESS ITEM #1
To the Councilmembers:
In regard to the contract with Riverside County for animal control services, please strongly consider the option of extended hours, especially weekend hours.
Animals don't choose to escape from 9-5 Monday through Friday. Owners aren't careless on that schedule either. In fact, I'll bet most strays occur on weekends. Not to mention cats, snakes or other critters
La Quinta is noted for its animal lovers and protectors. We are frustrated when we call the emergency animal control number on weekends and a) no one answers, b) they will send a message to a person who does not respond or c) they ask you to call back on Monday. I have experienced all of these.
Please support our community with extended animal control services.
P.S. Hello to all, I haven't died yet.
