Toxoplasmosis can severly damage an unborn child while being symptomless in the mother. In the US 1 % of infants are born with congential toxoplasmosis infection. Up to one-third of those infections result in severe damage to the developing fetus including blindness, stillbirth, seizures , brain damage,etc. The US Dept of Health recommends that women planing to become pregnant or who are pregnant should avoid close contactwith cats and. with cat litter. Stray cats or cats allowed outside eat toxoplasmosis infected wild birds and rodents and then for weeks the cat can shed millions of infected toxo parasites (cysts) in its feces. The cysts can remain infectious for months or years. Transmission can be minimize.., but by no means eliminated, by keeping your cat.inside, away from stray cats, and free ofundercooked orraw meat. Risk can be further reduced by hand washing after contact with cats, after contact with litter boxes (which should be changed daily), washing after contact with soil (where the parasites can live for years), and washing your hands after handling raw meat and before eating. JUN -03-96 MON 05:45 AF ,RMEN-SCHAYE 5411067 P.02 They also note that children's sandboxes are a prime source of contamination with cat feces and should be covered when not in use, and the sand discarded and the box thoroughly cleaned if cat feces are found. To come: a future article on cat acquired toxoplasmosis infections in adults. • , City o/ ie0m'n, Jh/h INCORPORATED JANUARY 24, 1957 NO. 2 PORTUGUESE BEND ROAD ROLLING HILLS, CALIF. 90274 (310) 377-1521 FAX: (310) 377-7288 MEMORANDUM TO: HONORABLE CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE WILDLIFE PRESERVATION COMMITTEE FROM: CRAIG R.

Date: 05/28/96 HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL CRAIG R. NEALIS, CITY MANAGER CONSIDERATION OF ADVERTISING TO APPOINT AN ALTERNATE COMMITTEE MEMBER TO THE ROLLING HILLS WILDLIFE PRESERVATION COMMITTEE. DATE: MAY 28, 1996 BACKGROUND At the regular meeting of the Wildlife Preservation Committee held May 20, 1996, Committee Members recommended that the City Council fill the vacant alternate Committee member position on the Wildlife Preservation Committee. Occasionally, it has been difficult for the Committee to establish a quorum. Appointment of an alternate Committee member would assist in establishing a quorum when several members are absent. In Resolution No. 753 which establishes the Wildlife Preservation Committee, Section 2, establishes an alternate member that can vote on matters considered by the Committee when fewer than nine regular voting members are present at a regular meeting. If the City Council decides to recruit for an alternate member, the Committee would like to prepare questions to assist the City Council Subcommittee during the interview process. A copy of the staff report that was presented to the Wildlife Preservation Committee on May 20, 1996, is attached for your review. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that members of the City Council consider this staff report and provide appropriate direction to staff.
