Feasibility Study For Oconee County Animal Shelter Should Be Ready For Discussion Shortly, Commissioners Told

Oconee County Administrative Officer Jeff Benko is expecting to distribute a consultant’s report on the feasibility of renovating the animal shelter to the Board of Commissioners this wee

Benko made that statement to the Board at its work session at the Community Center in Veterans Park on Tuesday.

Benko said he also would send copies of the report to the members of the Animal Control Advisory Board as soon as the consultant’s report is in his hands.

Also at the work session, new Commission Chair John Daniel said he recommends that the county hire an outside consultant to help it determine the true costs of its recreation programs at the county’s parks.

Daniell also said he thinks the county needs to move forward with a master plan for the county’s parks as soon as possible.

The Board also discussed beginning discussions with the Board of Education on ways in the future to share recreational facilities.
