OTHELLO The Othello City Council voted unanimously during Monday evening’s regular meeting to enter into a one-year contract for dog sheltering services with Hands 'N Paws Animal Assistance. The council also approved the purchase of three large kennels for the city’s temporary animal control building.
Othello Mayor Shawn Logan introduced the contract and purchase requests.
“The services that (Hands 'N Paws) would provide in essence are the same services that we were in the contract with Adams County Pet Rescue for because we offered them the same contract,” Logan said. “The only difference is they decided to accept it.”
The city is still responsible for certain animal control services under the new contract.
OTHELLO SkillSource put on its first job fair in Othello Friday at the organization’s Thieme Career Development Center. The event’s coordinator, SkillSource Adult Training Manager Emily Anderson, said the event went very well.
“It was incredibly successful. It far surpassed our expectations. The community just responded really well,” she said. “We had 159 job seekers show up, and while a lot of them had never attended an event like that before, they still responded really well to our employers. They were interested, they were eager to be there, and most of them left with job leads in hand. They were just genuinely happy as they left, and those are really satisfying things for our staff.”
The businesses involved gave positive feedback, Anderson said.
