Animal Control Monthly Board Reports from Macoupin County

Monthly reports submitted by the Animal Control Administrator to the Macoupin County Board starting in late 2008. The dataset contains links to PDF reports with data on operations such as adoptions and service calls. The previous month's data is provided in each report submitted to the Board.

Use Cases

• Analyzing annual trends in animal control activities using the Year and Month columns.
• Compiling a time-series index of report availability by joining Month and Year columns.
• Building a document retrieval system for public records using the Link column to access PDFs.

Strengths

• Reports have been consistently submitted since late 2008, providing a long-term record.
• Data is structured with clear Month, Year, and Link columns for basic temporal and document tracking.

Limitations

• The core operational data (e.g., adoption counts, call volumes) is contained within linked PDFs, not in the structured columns.
• Row count and data completeness for the linked reports are unknown.
