Boaz '97 fAa 7 <br />2. Direct staff to require that any future mobile pet vaccination <br />clinic temporary use permit applicants arrange for <br />environmental health department inspections for their events <br />and that such applicants comply with environmental health' <br />department directives given.to correct any items found not to <br />be in compliance with state and local health regulations. <br />Planning Director Stan Boling explained the four alternatives <br />listed in staff's recommendation. <br />Commissioner Eggert asked if Environmental Health would be <br />available on the weekends to conduct these inspections, and <br />Director Boling responded affirmatively. <br />Commissioner Eggert remained concerned about pet owners having <br />to pay $50-$75 for rabies shots and other things necessary to <br />obtain a license for their pets. She asked if any local <br />veterinarians offered their services in this respect because she <br />had called around the last time this matter was discussed and was <br />unable to find one. <br />Dr. Denis scarpinato of Pinewoods Animal Hospital stated that <br />if pet owners called his office, they would be told they could get <br />a rabies shot for $10. He felt that could be said for several <br />veterinarians in this area. He noted, however, that the Humane <br />Society screens applicants before delegating neutering and spaying <br />services to specific veterinarians who provide those services for <br />a cost set by the Humane Society. Dr. Scarpinato advised that Dr. <br />Alan Baker has indicated that he intends to soon open a low cost, <br />vaccine, spay neuter clinic in Vero Beach. The clinic will be open <br />3 days a week in an enclosed building which will eliminate the <br />problems encountered with pets and their owners waiting in a hot, <br />sunny parking lot. <br />Dr. Scarpinato questioned the tolerant temporary use permit <br />regulations on flower sales in parking lots compared to those for <br />pet vaccination clinics. <br />Commissioner Bird pointed out that the big difference is that <br />our Ordinances do not require people to buy flowers, but we do <br />require people to have their pets vaccinated. <br />Dr. Scarpinato advised that his office gives a cursory <br />examination before giving the $10 rabies shot. However, a complete <br />head -to -toe examination is $25. He understood that Dr. Aiken, Dr. <br />Herman, and Dr. Moon also give cursory examinations before giving <br />rabies shots. <br />22 <br />JANUARY 9, 1996 <br />
