Potential Cibolo partnership enters discussion of Guadalupe County’s future animal services dilemma County votes down request to generate better numbers of potential remodel costs Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) -- The future of animal services in Guadalupe County remains unclear after county commissioners voted 3-2 against spending an additional $5,000 to secure more detailed estimates on expanding the county’s current animal control facility which is currently located next to the Guadalupe County Jail. Voting against the additional funding were Commissioners Jacqueline Ott, Jim Wolverton and Stephen Germann. Although it was a nay, commissioners such as Ott say the vote was only based on a step in the process and not a reflection of her support of finding a more sustainable solution. Supporting the measure were County Judge Kyle Kutscher and Commissioner Drew Engelke. Despite the vote, county leaders say the possibility of expanding the existing facility is still being considered alongside other options, including its newest one -- a potential regional partnership with the City of
Cibolo. This latest option with Cibolo plus a full discussion on the future of the program was held during Tuesday’s meeting of the Guadalupe County Commissioners Court. Guadalupe County Sheriff Joshua Ray told commissioners that he was asked by Wolverton to explore partnerships with area cities. “Somewhat indicative of what was done in the past where the county contracted with the cities -Seguin and Schertz didn’t have any interest in moving in that direction, just through an initial phone call conversation. But Cibolo did show some interest,” said Ray. Ray says Cibolo is already planning a new $7 million animal facility with roughly 30 kennels. He says informal discussions have included what it would look like if Guadalupe County partnered with the city to potentially double that capacity. Dilemma, pg. 2
