MATTERS NOT ON T8E PRINTED AGENDA <br />1. Susan Sexton stated that for the last six months she has been <br />gathering information about the Animal Protection Society (APS) and the <br />operation of the Animal Shelter. She feels that some of the County <br />appropriation to the Animal Shelter is being spent for investigation of <br />animal cruelty which is not included in the agreement the County has with <br />the APS. She asked that the County require an audit. She stated she has <br />a video which shows the kind of cooperation a citizen receives at the Animal <br />Shelter. She has a lot of questions and asked that they be answered before <br />the animal shelter budget is approved by the Board of County Commissioners. <br />She asked that the Board meet with her to discuss this matter further. <br />Chair Carey told Ms. Sexton that it is normal for matters like <br />this to be referred to the County Manager for investigation and a report. <br />
