Pulaski County justices voted unanimously to send ordinance 25I‑70 to the full quorum court with a due‑pass recommendation. The ordinance would appropriate $30,000 from the county's spay/neuter fund into the spay/neuter department budget for use under the department’s ordinance.

Justice Blackwood explained the transfer covers funds that had been collected and should be appropriated for ongoing spay/neuter services. County staff confirmed the $30,000 transfer is not the total of the fund but the amount proposed for transfer at this time. One staff member noted the county has provided spay/neuter services for roughly 25,000 animals historically; the motion drew no public opposition and little discussion.

Vote: roll call recorded 15 ayes and no nays. The item will proceed to the full quorum court with the due‑pass recommendation.
