Summary

A motion to repeal the county's animal control ordinance remains tabled. Commissioners and Controller Dawson said the board will convene a work group to explore revisions in late October or November rather than taking immediate action.

Under miscellaneous business the board revisited a previously tabled proposal to repeal the Eaton County animal control ordinance. Controller Dawson said the idea had not been discussed with administration beforehand and warned that a sudden repeal proposal creates uncertainty for staff and departments; he recommended the board not act immediately.

Commissioners discussed forming a work group to examine potential revisions and to bring a more carefully scoped proposal back to the board. Dawson said a tentative work group is planned for late October or November to study possible revisions and report back; no repeal vote or ordinance change occurred at the meeting.
