Council responded by deferring the byâ€"law for further consultaâ€" tion with cat "experts", including veterinarians. A public hearing to allow citizen input will also be held, though no date was set. Irate cat owner C.W. Robinson told council the city has not proved that there is a problem with cats in Waterloo. He also cited "a physiological impossibiliâ€" ty" of leashing cats. Disputing a staff report which spoke of "significant" decreases in the number of complaints since Hamilton enacted a similar byâ€" law in Dec. 1986, and a "signifiâ€" cant‘" drop in the number of dead cats found on the road, Robinson said "council has not done its THURSDAY, MARCH 10th, 10 A.M. â€" 5 P.M. | Ames introduces . .. } GLUCOMETER M Delegations rally in defense of cats DIABETIC DAY At a news conference Tuesday Mayor Marjorie Carroll and UW President Douglas Wright announced the report of a joint committee charged with examining the feasibility of continuing the program. The university announced last October the cultural program would be discontinued due to scheduling conflicts with drama classes. The agreement will go before council for ratification next Monday, and again for Budget ratification on March 21. The university Senate and Board of Governors will also be informed of the details, said Wright. The cultural program at the Humanitiee Theatre of University of Waterloo will be saved, following passage of a 5â€"year agreement between the city and the university. . _ Speaking of the agreement, Carroll said, "As far as I‘m concerned, it‘s a winâ€"winâ€"win situation. The city wins; the university wins; and the arts community wins.': â€" Under the proposed terms of agreement, the city will assume responsibility for organizing and managing the professional series program, and will assume liability for any deficits.
