Local animal groups vie for control of city pound Susan DeVilder The Star Courier KEWANEE  Which organization will receive the contract to operate the city pound could be decided at the next Kewanee City Council meeting scheduled for May 24.  Both Friends of the Animals and the Henry County Humane Society/Kewanee have submitted bids for a three-year contract, with the option for two additional one-year extensions. The request for bids was announced by Kewanee Police Chief Nicholas Welgat in April with a deadline for responses due May 5.  The decision was expected to be decided at the city council meeting on May 10, but City Councilman Chris Colomer experienced a medical issue and left the meeting, which postponed the vote. At the time, Mayor Gary Moore called the decision to award the pound “too important to make without participation from the full council.”
