COUNTY CITIZEN'S ADDRESSING THE BOARD
Clinton Ray Miller (139 Northmont Road, Statesville, NC) requested an amendment to
the animal control ordinance. Mr. Miller made the request due to witnessing a dog (Rottweiler)
attack in his neighborhood. He said that also two pit bull dogs recently attacked a teenager and
two policemen in Mooresville. Miller said the dog involved in the attack in his neighborhood
was still alive, but the dogs in Mooresville were destroyed. Mr. Miller requested the following
changes to the animal control ordinance.
The "dangerous doe" definition would read:
"Dangerous dog: Any dog which has attacked any person when off the property of his owner
and not under the direct control of a competent person."
Under Section VII (D) (6) Vicious and Public Nuisance Animals add JD);
"All dangerous dogs shall be destroyed"
Chairman Johnson said the board would take Mr. Miller's request under consideration
and discuss the matter with the animal control supervisor.
Bob Privette (3336 Chipley Ford Road, Statesville, NC) spoke about the vacancy on the
board of commissioners and the actions of others at the last board meeting. Privette said it was
disturbing to him that a special interest group was pushing a candidate for the vacant seat.
