Huachuca City backs collaboration with Cochise County on animal shelter, OKs code changes
Summary
The council authorized drafting animal-code amendments to ease cooperation with Cochise County and voted to send a letter supporting a proposed county animal shelter in Huachuca City.
The Huachuca City Council voted to authorize preparation of town-code amendments related to animals and to authorize a letter signaling the town’s support for a proposed Cochise County animal shelter in Huachuca City.
Chief Berry explained that removing obsolete parts of the town code would make it easier to work with the county if Cochise County places a shelter in town. Town Manager Suzanne Harvey said partnering with the county would be a benefit to the town. The council authorized preparing the ordinances and approved the submission of a letter stating the town’s support; both motions passed unanimously.
Chief Berry’s remarks framed the code changes as technical updates to facilitate intergovernmental shelter operations rather than a change in the town’s enforcement priorities.
