Committee authorizes small fence at animal control; three county ribbon cuttings set for July
Summary
The Capitol Outlay Committee authorized staff to install a fence around a concrete pad at the animal control facility if the cost remains below $5,000, and members announced ribbon cuttings for the health department (July 9), the TCAT facility (July 10) and the new animal control building (July 11).
The Capitol Outlay Committee unanimously authorized Craig to install a fence around a concrete pad at the county animal control facility provided the project can be completed for less than $5,000, avoiding the formal three‑bid requirement.
Craig described the proposal on July 2, saying donations are available to cover the work and estimating the cost at roughly $4,000–$5,000. He said the fence would enclose an existing concrete pad to create an additional play area and would tie into the facility’s existing front fence. "Money wise, we should have enough in donations to... cover basically approval to," Craig said. Committee members discussed site constraints, potential gravel turnaround solutions, and options such as bollards or decorative rock to reduce vehicle intrusion.
A committee member moved to authorize the fence if the total cost is under $5,000; the motion was seconded and the committee approved it by voice vote.
Committee members also provided updates and dates for three ribbon‑cutting events for recently completed county projects: the health department (July 9 at 10:00 a.m.), the TCAT facility on Highway 53 (July 10 at 2:00 p.m.), and the animal control facility (July 11 at 11:00 a.m.). Chair and other members described the sequence as three new county buildings opening in close succession and encouraged community attendance.
The vote to authorize the fence was recorded by voice as unanimous; no roll‑call tally was taken and committee members did not specify individual yes/no votes in the transcript.
