The City of Lakin and The City of Deerfield are excited to announce a new “shared service” venture they have embarked on together. When Lakin and Deerfield realized animal control was a common issue amongst their communities, they decided to come together and do something about it. The cities came up with an agreement to share a full time Animal Control Officer who would be able to enforce codes, patrol both communities, and take care of any animals in the pound. … Small communities, such as Lakin and Deerfield, operate off limited budgets. This “shared service” will help both communities keep within their operating budget and help keep city taxes down. Lakin and Deerfield are very enthusiastic about this arrangement, and cannot wait to get it underway!
