PERTH AMBOY – Ordinance No. 1 First Reading: No Public Discussion: Establishing a Trap/Neuter/Release program. Business Administrator Peter Pelissier said, “The money for this program would come from money received from boarding of animals at the shelter and people redeeming their animals. No trust funds have been set up and no money has been budgeted for this program.”

At the 10/28/15 Council Meeting, Pelissier presented more detailed information, “There’s a spay and neuter account which is funded through donations only. Presently the account has $4611. There is a cost of $55 for each procedure. Grants could not be awarded because no ordinance was in place.
