ANIMAL CONTROL 1989-90 ANNUAL REPORT <br />Dan Reimer and Elma Johnson presented an overview of the <br />Orange County animal control program activities during FY 1989-90. In <br />response to questions from various Board members, Ms. Johnson clarified <br />some of the statistics included in the report. Figure one demonstrates <br />the number of animals that the County Animal Control Officers are <br />actually taking into the animal shelter. Figure two demonstrates the <br />total amount of animals being taken into the animal shelter. In Orange <br />County, the animal control officers will pick up 75% of all animals that <br />are admitted to the animal shelter from their program area. The <br />remainder come in from other sources. <br />Commissioner Willhoit asked about the origin of the animals <br />entering the shelter. Ms. Johnson indicated that Orange County <br />contributes 48%, Chapel Hill 17% and Carrboro 7%. Commissioner Willhoit <br />feels it important to have these figures by township so that priorities <br />can be set. <br />In answer to a question from Commissioner Insko, Ms. Johnson <br />explained the procedure that is followed before a pet owner is fined. <br />Commissioner Willhoit asked that Animal Control identify, by <br />geographical area, the number of complaints, the. number of animals <br />picked up and number of animals licensed. This data will be used to <br />support the 1991-92 budget. <br />B. REPORT TO THE COMMISSIONERS ON ORANGE COUNTY HEAL'.. <br />INDICATORS
