place to $7.5o for unspayed or unneutered dogs, $5.00 for dogs spayed ~r neutered and $3.00 for unspayed or unneutered cats and $2.00 for spayed or neutered cats with no cap. Commissioner Carey expressed his concern that the fees as suggested in _ the substitute motion would not be high enough to reduce the number of unwanted animals in the county which is the intent of the ordinance. After further discussion it was decided that the impact of the ordinance will be evaluated twice a year when the report is received from the Animal Control Director and if the intent of the ordinance is not met, the ordinance and the fees as part of the ordinance will be revised. Commissioner Willhoit emphasized that the hardship issue falls on those people who have multiple dogs and who register those dogs. Because of the small number of people who register their dogs, the fee will not make any difference. He suggested that the emphasis be placed on doing a more- effective job of getting those dogs registered that are not registered and that emphasis be on the amount of the penalty for a dog that is unregistered. VOTE ON THE SUBSTITUTE MOTION: Ayes, 3; Noes 1 (Commissioner Carey) The substitute motion thus becomes the main motion. VOTE ON THE MAIN MOTION: Ayes, 3; Noes 1 (Commissioner Carey) NOTE: Since the vote on the main motion was not a unanimous vote, the second reading of this motion will be submitted for a vote on March 1, 1988. The County Manager was requested to make a recommendation on the effective date of this amendment and how to handle those who have already paid their animals taxes and if an additional penalty should be imposed for nonregistration. 5 MINUTE RECESS 2. INTERGOVERNMENTAL COMMITTEE -Chair Marshall presented for discussion a suggestion that an intergovernmental committee be convened of all the elected officials in orange County who want to participate to meet at least twice a year but no more than four times a year. Out of this group would come subcommittees with a definite purpose or charge. It has been suggested that the first subcommittees to be formed would be on water and impact fees. Commissioner Hartwell expressed a concern that the issue of water needs to be addressed right away and not given to a subcommittee for deliberation. After further discussion, the general consensus of the Board was to support the concept of an intergovernmental committee but to address the topic of water as a separate issue and on a more immediate timeline. 3.
