SAWYER <br />(1902-1972) <br />Re: Final Task Force Draft Proposed Animal <br />Control Ordinance <br />Dear Board Members: <br />.`j I have reviewed the Animal Control Ordinance <br />proposed by the Animal Control Task Force contained in <br />an April 29, 1987 draft. I have the following comments <br />and recommendations concerning the ordinance as <br />proposed: <br />1. Section I should read: <br />Section I - Authority. This ordinance is <br />adopted pursuant to the power granted Orange <br />County in North Carolina General Statute Sections <br />153A-121, 153A-127, 153A-153 and 153A-44Z. <br />2. I recommend adding Animal Cruelty <br />Investigators to the list of persons to which Orange <br />County Animal Control Officers would report observed <br />animal cruelty or animal abuse, As=presently written, <br />Section IIIC provides that these reports would be made <br />to appropriate law enforcement officers or. the district <br />attorney's office. Article Iv of Chapter 19A of the <br />orth Carolina General Statutes provides far the <br />appointment by the Soard of County Commissioners of <br />Animal Cruelty Investigators. These investigators, <br />pursuant to North Carolina General Statute Section 19A-- <br />__ a6, can obtain an order from a magistrate allowing the <br />~ investigator to provide suitable care for and take <br />immediate custody of an animal being cruelly treated as <br />Orange County Board of Commissioners <br />106 East Margaret Lane <br />Hillsborough, North Carolina 27278 <br />June 12, 1987 <br />Shirley E.
