County reviews animal shelter timeline; commissioner plans tethering ordinance for November ballot
Summary
County Manager Juan Vaughan reported the county has paid Horizon Structures an initial payment for a prefabricated animal shelter with drawings under review and an expected delivery timeline; Commissioner Ronald Roberson said he plans to put an animal tethering ordinance on the November ballot.
County Manager Juan Vaughan said Horizon Structures has received the initial payment for a prefabricated animal shelter and that draft drawings are under county review. He provided an estimated timeline: 4–6 weeks to complete final drawings after approval and an additional 4–8 weeks for construction and delivery once drawings are finalized; the county is responsible for installing the concrete slab for the structure.
Separately, Commissioner Ronald Roberson told the board he intends to place an animal tethering ordinance on the November ballot so voters may decide whether to adopt the tethering law. The shelter update and the proposed ballot question were informational and procedural at the Jan. 5 meeting; no ordinance or ballot action occurred that night.
