STEUBENVILLE Now that city coffers are rebounding from the pandemic, council signaled Tuesday it’s ready to tweak the Table of Organization to make room for an animal control officer.
Finance Director Dave Lewis told council the city’s financial health is much improved from a year ago, so adjusting the TO to add an animal control officer to the police department roster is doable.
“The money is there, if that’s what you want to do,” he said. “Right now, we’re showing a $942,000 general fund surplus.”
Third Ward Councilman Eric Timmons had been lobbying for the change, telling council the time to act is before someone is seriously hurt.
