State audit reveals county overpaid departing staffers Four former county employees were overpaid by more than $10K
By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER
PLATTSBURGH | Clinton County officials were recently cited by the state comptroller’s office for failing to accurately disburse employee separation pay, an audit released this month revealed.
Between four former employees, the county doled out $10,089 more than necessary in separation pay — $10,000 of that to a single employee — while another three former employees were underpaid by $403, according to the audit report. The comptroller’s office recommended that all the over-payments be reviewed and re-
covered by the county’s legal counsel, that underpaid employees be reimbursed and future payments be sent to an independent source for review and approval. In response, county officials said they agreed with the state’s findings and plan to comply. » Audit Cont. on pg. 8
City seeks to restrict feral cat feeding Local law would impose new rules designed to curb animal population By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

PLATTSBURGH | A city councilor has proposed a local law that would impose new restrictions on feeding feral cats in the City of Plattsburgh. Councilor Dale Dowdle (Ward 3) said he proposed the measure last week, a series of alterations to the city code, after receiving multiple complaints from constituents regarding feral cat colonies in his ward, which encompasses parts of the city’s west side. “This will, hopefully, tighten up the food source,” Dowdle said. The law will expand the list of animals already included in an existing section of the city code that bars residents from intentionally feeding animals to explicitly include feral cats. Dowdle hopes this code update — which includes provisions that would mandate feeders to be present when the food is made available to cats; require them to remove any

food when they leave the premises; and necessitate the labeling of any food left out in the open — will also hold rogue feeders accountable for the city’s wild animal population. “This will put the responsibility on the ones who feed (the animals),” he said. Feral cats have long been proverbial thorns-in-the-side of city lawmakers, who have sought effective solutions for animal control for years, as they continue to field calls about the number of wild and abandoned felines in the city. Last spring, former city councilor Becky Kasper hit the streets alongside a volunteer for Animal Rescue and Welfare Services, the then-city contracted cat rescue troupe, in an effort to pitch in and drum up awareness of the public health and safety issues posed by cat colonies. “Cat colonies are an issue in that they can be a nuisance to neighborhoods and potentially carry diseases that humans and other animals are susceptible to,” Kasper told The Sun at the time. “It is also an issue for many people to witness the plight of animals who have been abandoned and suffer through harsh weather and other conditions.” Dowdle reiterated those same concerns last Thursday. “It’s really a public safety issue,” he told The Sun. A public hearing on the law is scheduled for July 5 at 5 p.m. at Plattsburgh City Hall. ■
