Eight months ago Granite Shoals residents were outraged over reports that the city’s wildlife committee was considering widespread euthanasia of feral cats.

Today, the city can’t find enough people to serve on the cat committee, successor to the wildlife committee.

The committee is down to two members, chairwoman Michele Landfield told the city council at its meeting Tuesday, July 9.

“We couldn’t have a meeting last month because we didn’t have a quorum because one of the committee members was sick," she said. "And we have two resignations to approve at our meeting next Monday, but I really need volunteers to step up or apply to the committee."

Either to volunteer or to serve on the committee, she said. Email City Secretary Dawn Wright at citysecretary@graiteshoals.org for an application. Volunteers

also will be asked to fill out a waiver, she said.

Landfield's presen tation was part of a relatively brief council meeting that lasted less than an hour total. Much of that was taken up by discussion of proposed changes in the city’s airport lease
