Council backs collaboration with Cochise County on animal shelter, approves code revisions
Summary
The council authorized drafting animal-code amendments to remove obsolete provisions and unanimously approved a letter supporting a proposed Cochise County animal shelter in Huachuca City, saying cooperation would simplify shelter operations and enforcement.
Chief Berry and Town Manager Suzanne Harvey told the council that updates to the animal-code would remove language no longer relevant to shelter operations and would make coordination with Cochise County easier if the county locates a shelter in town. Council approved a motion to prepare ordinance language addressing the code changes.
Separately, the council authorized the submission of a letter stating the town supports the proposed county animal shelter in Huachuca City. Councilmembers said they believed county coordination would benefit the town and its animal-control capabilities; the motion to authorize the letter passed unanimously.
