Board approves livestock claim payment contingent on court writ
Summary
The Board approved a conditional payment of $6,325 to a resident for livestock killed by dogs, contingent on the claimant first pursuing a writ through the Clerk of Court; if no recovery is possible, the county will compensate the claimant.
The Board approved a contingent payment related to a livestock claim brought by Ricky Willard, who seeks $6,325.00 for 25 goats and five sheep killed by three dogs. County Administrator Stephen A. Boyer said Mr. Willard must pursue a writ through the District Clerk's office; the Board's motion authorized payment only if Mr. Willard follows the court process and no recoverable effects are found from the defendant.
Supervisor Mary E. Dickenson Tomlinson made the motion and Supervisor C.S. “Sandy” Cunningham seconded; the motion carried 5-0. The minutes note that the District Clerk's office has a writ ready and that a deputy will serve it; if the defendant lacks means to pay and no effects are found, the county will pay the claim as authorized.
