Public Comments <br /> 35 <br /> 36 a. Matters not on the Printed Agenda <br /> 37 Maxecine Mitchell said she received a notice today from Animal Control stating <br /> 38 she was being cruel to her dogs as they were outside and the water container had some <br /> 39 leaves in the dish. She said she lives in the County with a lot of oak trees and she is <br /> 40 upset for being cited for not having a clean water container. She said she is a volunteer <br /> 41 on the Planning Board, which is a body that strives to create logical ordinances, and she <br /> 42 is not sure why she was cited. She said her doghouses are dry and clean but one of <br /> 43 them is broken, for which she was cited as well. She said she was additionally cited for <br /> 44 not having the doghouses raised above the ground but noted the doghouses are <br /> 45 tremendously heavy. She said she is single and unemployed but her dogs are healthy <br /> 46 and live better than she does. <br /> 47 She said she talked with Bob Marotto, the Director of Animal Services, and he told <br /> 48 her they would come out to talk with her. She hoped a solution could be reached. <br /> 49 Chair McKee asked Bonnie Hammersley to consult with Animal Control. <br />
