This item was postponed until the next meeting. 8 19. ANIMAL CONTROL LICENSING FEES After an extended discussion, motion was made by Commissioner Hartwell, seconded by Commissioner Carey to adopt differential licensing for dogs and cats as follows: License fee of $5. 00 for spayed and neutered dogs and a $15.00 fee for unspayed or unneutered dogs and a license fee of $2. 00 for spayed and neutered cats and a $10. 00 fee for unspayed or unneutered cats. VOTE: UNANIMOUS. Commissioner Hartwell asked that a sentence be put on the tax form that says there is differential licensing and that money can be saved if a sworn affidavit states that the animals have been spayed. Additionally, Commissioner Hartwell asked that a sentence be placed on the tax listing form advising the citizens of the possibility of having land taxed at its use value rather than at market value. Assistant Manager Laws commented that in the early years of the program an effort had been made to publicize this possibility but that not much had been done recently. Chair Marshall concurred in the recommendation, commenting that many citizens in the towns were unaware of this provision. 20. PROJECT TO DEVELOP SUPPORT FOR EMOTIONALLY TROUBLED PRESCHOOLERS Chair Marshall stated that the Ad Hoc Committee for emotionally troubled preschoolers would like to proceed with organizing as an Inter- agency Committee to plan, develop support for, and implement a program that will begin to address the goals formulated by the Committee.
