Adoption of Amended Animal Services Resolution
end
Purpose and Request:
recommended action
The purpose of this Consent Agenda item is the adoption of an amended animal services resolution.
end
Background and Discussion: Currently the County’s animal services resolution is enforced by animal control officers employed by the Public Works and Development Department (PWD). Starting June 21, 2025, responsibilities for enforcement will be handled by the Sheriff’s Office instead of PWD. The attached amended animal services resolution will facilitate this change by clarifying that enforcement will now be through animal services officers who are assigned by the Sheriff (non-certified), as well by the Sheriff and Sheriff deputies. References to staff of PWD being responsible for enforcement are removed.
Alternatives: The BOCC could elect to not proceed with the adoption of the ordinance.
Fiscal Impact: No significant financial impact is anticipated.
Alignment with Strategic Plan:
☒Be fiscally sustainable
☒Provide essential and mandated service
☒Be community focused
Concurrence: N/A.
Resolution: Attached is a copy of the draft resolution.
