JAN; 2 1985 <br />BOOK 59 FnF,364 <br />necessarily have to enforce it; the City can have their own <br />officers enforce it in their limits. <br />Discussion continued regarding enforcement within City <br />limits, and Attorney Brandenburg noted that the City has, in <br />effect, adopted our ordinance as applicable in their limits, and <br />they should enforce it unless they have an agreement with the <br />County that the county people will come in and enforce it. <br />Commissioner Wodtke stated that he also agreed with the <br />Motion, but he did not want to relieve the State's Attorney of <br />his obligation. He preferred to state just that we would be <br />willing to assist them in some way. Attorney Brandenburg <br />concurred that we do not want to relieve the State's Attorney of <br />these obligations entirely. <br />Chairman Lyons noted that the State's Attorney's office is <br />so bogged down that they don't want to bother with this, and he <br />felt it is very important that we are in a position to enforce <br />this ordinance and have some teeth in it. <br />Administrator Wright suggested that the Board ask the <br />Chairman and the County Attorney to meet with the State's <br />Attorney and report back to the Board as to what could be <br />accomplished in this regard. It was generally agreed that all <br />the Board wishes is the ability to enforce our own ordinance. <br />Chairman Lyons stated that he would be glad to contact the <br />State's Attorney and see what can be done. <br />Commissioners Bird and Scurlock agreed to reword their <br />Motion. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Com- <br />missioner Scurlock, the Board unanimously authorized <br />the Chairman and the County Attorney to meet with the <br />State's Attorney to see what can be worked out in <br />regard to enforcement of the Animal Control Ordinance. <br />74 <br />
