Thanks sincerely for your response. <br /> Joe Williams <br /> On Friday,September 4, 2020, 8:37:05 AM EDT, Bob Marotto<bmarotto@orangecountync.gov>wrote: <br /> Mr. Williams, <br /> I apologize for not responding sooner to your email. It's been a busy week. <br /> My recommendation is that you approach the Animal Services Advisory Board (ASAB) <br /> before you approach the Board of County Commissioners. The ASAB is a board consisting <br /> of residents appointed by our commissioners to work with staff as well as the BOCC on <br /> policy matter. The board has been very involved in amending our ordinance including <br /> creating Orange County's Unified Animal Ordinance. <br /> 1 am copying the ASAB chair and vice-chair on this email in the event you would like to <br /> address yourself directly to them about your concerns. Also, I would note that you could <br /> address the ASAB for up to three minutes simply by attending one of its upcoming virtual <br /> meetings. The next one is the evening of September 16 beginning at 6:30 p.m. The <br /> schedule, meeting agendas and other information is posted at <br /> https://www.orangecountVnc.gov/1233/Advisory-Board-Hearing-Panel-Pool <br /> Finally, I would note that Orange County's restrictions on aggressive and dangerous <br /> animals are already quite a bit stronger than those provided by state law. In my <br /> experience, one of the most important ways to apply existing regulations is to for <br /> concerned county residents to work together effectively to ensure compliance and <br /> overall public health and safety. I believe we do so generally and hope that has been <br /> your experience with Animal Services. <br /> 1 <br /> Sincerely, <br />
