PUBLIC COMMENTS A. Kathy Peluso, 20539 Marshall Street, Castro Valley, spoke for In Defense of Animals. She asked why the squirrel control program was handled the way it was. She said she saw signs saying the City would be spraying for fleas at the Par Course, but the City was actually carrying out the poisoning. She said -no one seems to know why it was done in this way and asked how it can be stopped from happening again in the future. She said people are upset about the poisoning. She also said there are a number of wild cats under the Blue Dolphin, and she feeds them and has found homes for 49 out of 60. She said she was concerned she would be cited if she continues to feed them. Mayor Karp suggested that Ms. Peluso talk to Kathy Ornelas or Dr. Katz with her suggestions for controlling the squirrel problem. He said the City will be working together with In Defense of Animals to determine solutions for the future. B. Rick Richards, 335 Peralta Avenue, thanked Mayor Karp and the City Council for their participation in the First Alzheimer's Memory Walk, which was held on Saturday, October 3rd.
