5I0 have their animals spayed and neutered. By approving this differential licensing, the Board will in turn decrease the cost to the taxpayers. Commissioner Willhoit stated that he favors the differential licensing but feels the emphasis is on the wrong place. This causes those people who comply to be the ones who support the program. He feels there should be a significant penalty for failing to license and a significant penalty for failing to vaccinate for rabies. He encouraged a more aggressive effort to go after those who have not licensed their animals and especially those who are not vaccinating their animals. He did not support the position in the study because there was no funding mechanism. He requested information on the amount that could be collected for animals which are adopted or retrieved from the Animal Shelter. He suggested going back two or three years for animals that have been retrieved and charging for the license. They would not be able to retrieve their animal without paying the licensing for the years that were not paid. He asked if Animal Control can reschedule their existing staff so more people can work in the evening. It was the consensus of the Board to delay this item. IX. BOARD COMMENTS - listed on page 1 X.
