Huachuca City to update animal code and back a proposed Cochise County shelter
Summary
Council authorized drafting changes to the town’s animal code to ease coordination with a potential county-run animal shelter, and approved sending a letter supporting the proposed Cochise County shelter in Huachuca City.
Chief Berry told the council that portions of the town’s animal code tied to a local shelter are outdated and that updating the code would facilitate working with Cochise County if a county-run shelter is established in town.
Council voted to authorize preparation of ordinance amendments to remove irrelevant code sections and to make town regulations consistent with county operations. Separately, Town Manager Suzanne Harvey said collaborating with Cochise County would benefit the town, and the council authorized submission of a letter stating the town’s support for the proposed county animal shelter in Huachuca City; the motion passed unanimously.
The minutes do not record a funding commitment for the shelter; the authorization was limited to preparing code amendments and endorsing the county proposal by letter.
