DURHAM TAC MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING <br /> 10. Commissioner Willhoit moved, seconded by Commissioner Marshall , <br /> 11. to adopt the Resolution.of approval of the Memorandum of Understanding <br /> 12. for the Durham Urbanized Area Transportation Advisory Committee. <br /> 13. Vote: Ayes, 5; noes, 0. <br /> 14. 9. WILD ANIMAL CONTROL <br /> 15. Dr. Vickers Burdette read a statement to the Board (see page <br /> 16. of this book) objecting to the caging requirements for servals. Com- <br /> 17. missioner Willhoit suggested that the perimeter fence be waived <br /> 18. and a variance be granted for this particular serval . Mr. Rod Farb, <br /> 19. tiger owner, opposed the requirement for the concrete or gravel floor- <br /> 20. ing for the tigers. He said it is not a humane manner of caging for <br /> 21. tigers, it damages the paws and is unsanitary; that is, fecal material <br /> 22. cannot be removed from gravel and the location of the enclosure some <br /> 23. E mile from a water source makes the washing of the material from <br /> 24- concrete impractical apart from the cruelty inherent in such a floor. <br /> �5,He said drainage would not be a problem in his case as the enclosure <br /> 26. is to be upon a hill in northern Orange. Mr. Jerry Robinson, Health <br /> 27. Director, said he would like to see the construction plans before he <br /> 28. recommended a variance; however, there was agreement to reexamine the <br /> 29. concrete/gravel floor requirement for humane reasons. <br /> 30. Mr. Mahler, attorney for Lynne Moredock and her jaguar, "Yoda," <br /> 31. requested that a variance be given for the den Yoda occupies. Mr. <br /> 32.Robinson said the den may well meet the standards, he did not inspect <br /> 3 3.the den at close range but would return and do so. Mr. Mahler also <br /> 34,requested that an automatic extension be given beyond the one hundred <br /> 35 twenty days for compliance with the caging standards. Upon the advice <br /> 36,of the County Attorney, the Board chose to deal with extensions on an <br /> 37.individual basis if needed. The Manager promised a status report at <br /> 38 ninety days on compliance with the caging standards. <br /> 39. <br /> 40. <br />
