Lima officials are continuing the SNAP program, offering vouchers to help residents spay and neuter their pets and reduce overpopulation. The program has issued 221 vouchers so far and remains in high demand, with funding distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.

Lima 6th ward city councilman Derry Glenn brought up the idea of having a dog warden specifically for Lima.

"It's important to keep ongoing dialog between our counterparts and county government,” said Lima Mayor Sharetta Smith. “As we said before, our residents don't know, you know, when the city stops and the county line starts. And so being able to come together in these joint meetings, discuss issues that are of concern to our residents, but also to celebrate successes that we've been able to have together is very important."
