Ms. Fitt is being recommended because of her <br />extensive experience with animal policy and animal law. The ASAB's back -up recommendation, in the event Ms. Fitt <br />is not available, is Maureen Hoffman, MD, PhD, who has participated in the rescue activities of independent Animal <br />Rescue and the US Equine Rescue League and who also has decades of experience caring for and training animals. <br />It may be worthwhile to note that Ms. Fitt was the person that the ASAB thought it was recommending when it <br />previously made a recommendation to the BOCC for this vacancy. As you are aware, however, her credentials got <br />attached to the name of another person (Marshall Gray) in the application process and as a result the ASAB <br />recommended that person instead of her. <br />With the recommendation 1 am forwarding you at this time, hopefully the entire matter will be brought to closure! <br />Regards, <br />Bob Marotto <br />Director <br />Orange County Animal Services <br />(919) 968 -2287 <br />Check us out online or on facebook for all the furs this Holiday Season! <br />web: www. orangecountync .gov /animalservices <br />facebook: www.facebook.com /OCASpets <br />Pursuant to applicable North Carolina General Statutes, any electronic mail message sentfrom this account or received by this <br />account, and any attachments thereto, may be considered a public record; and as such they are subject to inspection by anyone at <br />anytime. <br />
