If the County chooses not to allow concealed handguns in County <br /> facilfies,it must enact an ordinance specifically prohibiting this action. By adoption of this ordinance the Board <br /> will prohibit the carrying of concealed handguns in County facilities and cause notification of such to be posted <br /> at each facility. <br /> • ANIMALS <br /> Except for the Animal Shelter facility, the proposed ordinance prohibits animals in County facilities, <br /> unless they have been registered pursuant to NC General Statute 168.4.3 as assistance providers to: <br /> • Mobility impaired persons;or <br /> • Visually impaired persons;or <br /> • Hearing impaired persons. <br /> This clarifies, but does not modify the existing policy. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: The Manager recommends that the Board adopt the ordinance as presented. <br />
