HomeMy WebLinkAboutC.054.93009_1336REQUEST FOR OVERTIME PAY FOR ANIMAL CONTROL DEPT. Sidney
Weisner, Animal Control Supervisor and Al Upton, Director of Safety
& Emergency Management advised that much overtime had been accrued
by the animal control officers. Much of the worktime is due to the
recent rabies epidemic. A total of 11 confirmed cases have been
found in Iredell. Rowan County has reported 26 cases. Weisner
stated he felt that the rabies problem was just beginning. The
public has already been alerted about the problem through news
articles. Another article should be published soon. Additional
rabies clinics have been held and more are scheduled. The public
is aware of the problem. This is evident by the number of animals
being vaccinated this year compared to last year.
The county manager mentioned the State had funds for indigent
people to have the vaccinations if needed; however, the general
public has to pay for the series of shots which are expensive.
ADJOURNMENTS The chairman adjourned the meeting at 6:45 p.m.,
for a brief refreshment break.
