Commissioner Eggert noticed that the fee for a sterilized dog <br />is still just $5. She hoped that we can continue to work with the <br />local veterinarians so that they understand that there are people <br />who cannot afford a lot of the costs associated with getting a <br />license. She believed that would be particularly true when these <br />fees have increased. <br />Chairman Adams noted that most of the fees for violations have <br />increased substantially, but wondered if the penalty for failure to <br />confine a female dog or cat in heat should go from $25 to $50. <br />Nancy Errett, Director of Animal Control, advised that does <br />not seem to be a major problem, and Director Wright explained that <br />they looked at it pretty closely and decided not to impact the <br />citizens anymore than what was necessary to deal with the major <br />problems that we are having today. <br />Chairman Adams asked if we were going to earmark the money <br />from the increased fees to the animal shelter budget, and <br />Administrator Chandler advised that we are looking at trying to <br />offset some of the increased cost we had. <br />David Radabaugh of the Humane Society wished to commend Doug <br />Wright and Nancy Errett for the work that they do. He advised that <br />the Humane Society will continue to work 100% with the County. <br />Bill Roolage, concerned citizen, believed people over reacted <br />to the stray cat situation at the Landfill. <br />There being no others who wished to be heard, the Chairman <br />closed the Public Hearing. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously adopted <br />Ordinance 96-02, and Resolutions 96-02 and 96-03. <br />26 Boa 91 FAGS 2U <br />JANUARY 2 1996 <br />
