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