CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The city council approved more than $4 million Tuesday for a major makeover of Animal Care Services.
This funding approval comes just weeks after a scathing report outlined over 100 areas of concern within the department.
The allocated funds will be used to fill three full-time positions, including an Animal Care Services director, as well as capital improvement projects and equipment purchases.
The report also confirmed an issue that KRIS 6 was first to uncover - the city's cremation furnace had been non-operational for months.
These improvements aim to address the numerous deficiencies identified in the recent assessment of the animal care facility.
