  • Minutes from the February 10, 2026 Work Session

    Feb 10, 2026

    ·Hazleton, PA
    Minutes

    Hazleton City Council held a work session on February 10, 2026 to discuss a proposed Feral & Stray Cat Neutering Program presented by Barbara Conway. The No Nonsense Neutering Program would cover 50 feral/stray cats at $40 per cat for a total city commitment of $750 with no upfront costs, with the city receiving numbered vouchers for residents to use at the Wilkes-Barre/Plains office and the city billed at month's end. Conway has volunteered her time and contributed $150 toward the starting fee, and reported over 150 Facebook responses and that the borough of Freeland had already committed $2,000. Mayor Cusat indicated the city needs more time to review the program and raised questions about department responsibility, pricing for subsequent batches beyond the initial 50 cats, and whether opening the program to cats could lead to similar programs for other animals such as dogs.
