1°AE <br /> Board of Commissioners -Page Five June. 12,-1987 <br /> Control Officers, Rabies Control Officers, Animal <br /> Cruelty Investigators, Animal Shelter Manager and law <br /> enforcement officers. All other persons involved in <br /> the business of controlling animals in Orange County <br /> should not have status as such but should work through <br /> -one of the designated persons in the ordinance which <br /> designated persons will be responsible for the actions <br /> or activities of anyone not designated in th.e <br /> ordinance. The deletions that.I recommend appear at <br /> the following places: <br />g (i). Section VIIIC: delete from the third., <br /> fourth and fifth lines "or other appointed agent, <br />~ including, but not limited to, Emergency Animal <br />o Rescue workers." <br />K <br />~ (ii). Section VIIIE.6: delete "or other <br /> person assisting with the Animal Control Program." <br /> <br />_ <br />~~ ~ (iii). Section XIIIE: delete "or his or her <br />~~' <br />-~ designee." This section further provides that the <br /> Animal Shelter Manager (an undefined term) must be <br /> assured that an animal impounded as vicious is not <br />~, vicious or that the vicious animal wall be properly <br />o restrained on the premises of its owner ar keeper. <br />~~ ~ Although this assurance is done in consultation <br />~ with the Animal Control Director, it introduces a <br />z concept which Y think ill advised. I think the <br /> Animal Control Director should alone make the <br />~ decision as to whether to permit reclamation of an <br />° <br />~ animal impounded as vicious. In making that <br /> <br />c <br />_ <br />decision it is reasonable to believe that the <br /> Animal Control Director will solicit all of the <br />n advice and consultation he or she deems necessary. <br />Q However, the control of vicious animals is the <br /> responsibility of the Animal Control Program and <br /> the Animal Control Director. <br /> (iv). Section XVIC: delete "or person duly <br /> authorized by the Animal Control Director." <br /> (v). Section XXA: delete "or other <br /> appropriate representative of the Animal Control <br /> Program." The same language appears in Subsection <br /> B under standards for non--commercial kennels and <br /> should be deleted. <br />_ (vi). Section XXIA.I.b: delete "or person <br />duly authorized by the Animal Control Director." <br />I <br />
