BOOK 96 PA E 139 <br />Throughout Florida, counties utilize different fee methods for <br />animal licensing. Compared to other license fee schedules, Indian <br />River County has one of the lowest fee schedules for both non - <br />sterilized and sterilized animals. The $5.00 fee is designed to <br />cover administrative costs for registering the animal in the event <br />the dog is lost and to assure proper vaccination. The $10.00 fee <br />is designed to cover all of the same administrative costs plus <br />contribute to the care of abandoned animals which must be cared for <br />by Animal Control and the Vero Beach Humane Society. <br />While the Department of Emergency Services takes every inquiry by <br />the public very seriously, I feel this letter may be an attempt by <br />Mr. Decker to explain his reasoning for not complying with county <br />Animal Control Ordinances. On August 25, 1995, Mr. Decker was <br />cited by Animal Control for failure to renew licenses on two of his <br />dogs, one of which, named "MooDoo" has prior been declared vicious <br />and for which he has also received a citation which is pending <br />resolution. - <br />Staff recommends that current animal licensing fees remain <br />unchanged in order to provide the most economical means to care for <br />abandoned animals while creating a minimal economic impact to pet <br />owners. <br />Dannie Decker, 2745 53rd Avenue, Vero Beach, apologized for <br />offending any Commissioner during his last appearance before the <br />Board.
