Ada Council seeks to reduce cat nuisances with ordinance

In response to discussions with Ada residents and business owners regarding nuisances created by roaming cats and animals such as racoons, the village council has begun the process of drafting a new village ordinance. At a September 19 Safety Services committee meeting, council president Jeff Oestrich asked the village staff and legal counsel to draft an ordinance that prohibits feeding cats outdoors.

The committee requested that ordinance language be ready to present by the last council meeting in October. There would then be three readings of the ordinance and six weeks to make modifications.
