I <br />FEB 9 1994 <br />BBflK �6 PACE <br />already is a lot of charity involved with rendering this <br />service. <br />Chairman Scurlock emphasized that the problem will not <br />become any smaller as the county's population continues to <br />grow. <br />OMB Director Barton pointed out that we had no track <br />record because prior to this time, the Sheriff was paying <br />these costs. Actually we are just starting up, and an <br />expense of $10,000 was estimated, which was reduced to <br />$1,000 at budgettime with the proviso that if any problem <br />developed it would come back to the Board. <br />Chairman Scurlock continued to discuss possible <br />alternatives to collect more revenue from licenses, i.e., <br />having vets refuse to treat a pet unless it is licensed. <br />In continuing discussion as to who pays these bills, <br />Director Barton explained that the charge for adopting an <br />animal does not include the veterinarian bill. The only <br />event where this bill is tacked on is where the animal <br />belongs to the person picking it up. He felt if this charge <br />were to be added to the adoption procedure, most people <br />would not adopt that animal. <br />Commissioner Lyons suggested that the Board ask the <br />Administrator to come back with a suggestion as to how to <br />improve these procedures, but in the meantime we put the <br />money in the budget. <br />THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION on <br />the Motion to approve the budget amendment <br />for Animal Control. It was voted on and <br />carried unanimously. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously <br />14 <br />
