The Selectboard authorized Animal Control Officer Patrick Salo to issue warrants against owners of 56 unlicensed dogs in town at the July 16 meeting.
Stacy Eddy‑Gordon moved the authorization, Julie Isaacs seconded, and the motion passed; Member Beth Grant recused herself from the vote. The action directs the animal control officer to pursue warrants against owners of unlicensed dogs as allowed under local animal‑control procedures.
Why it matters: authorizing warrants initiates enforcement steps against pet owners who have not licensed dogs, potentially leading to fines or other compliance measures. The recusal was noted in the meeting minutes.
