Oconee County Animal Control Board To Discuss Long List Of Issues At Meeting Wednesday Night

At the request of county Administrative Officer Jeff Benko, the Advisory Board agreed to hold the meeting in the evening.

The Oconee County Animal Control Advisory Board, meeting on Wednesday evening, will address a full slate of issues, including tethering and hoarding of animals, the status of the foster program, changes to the county’s Animal Control Ordinance, and the status of the shelter facility.

The Advisory Board also will discuss the ordinances passed by the Board of Commissioners creating the Advisory Board and consider changes to its bylaws.

At the request of county Administrative Officer Jeff Benko, the Advisory Board agreed to hold the meeting in the evening, rather than in the middle of the day, as has been the custom, and at the Community Center in Veterans Park.

The Community Center offers easier access to citizens, particularly given increased Courthouse security, Benko told the Advisory Board at its most recent meeting on July 8.

For an explanation of the many issues on the agenda for Wednesday night’s meeting, please go to Oconee County Observations.
