Pilkington, Health Director <br /> <br /> February 24, 1993 <br /> <br />John V. Witherspoon, County Manager <br />Cabarrus County <br />P. O. Box 707 <br />Concord, NC 28026-0707 <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Witherspoon: <br /> <br />In official session on February 18 the Cabarrus County Board <br />of Health recommended the following addition to the Animal <br />Control Ordinance. <br /> <br />"Adult with Animal on Premises. If a responsible <br />adult is physically outside on the land immediately <br />adjacent to the animal, on the land where the owner <br />of the animal resides, and the animal is under the <br />person's direct control and is obedient to that <br />person's commands, then this section shall not apply <br />during the duration of time the animal is in the <br />company and under the control of that adult and the <br />animal is on the premises. "Adult" is defined as <br />eighteen (18) years of age or older." <br /> <br />This recommendation, if adopted, would be included as Item #2, <br />Article I, Section 9 "Restraint of Animals." Subsequent items <br />in Section 9 which already exist would simply need to be re- <br />numbered accordingly. <br /> <br />Please place this recommendation on the commissioners' agenda <br />for their consideration. <br /> <br />With best regards, <br /> <br />William F. Pilkington <br />Health Director <br /> <br />W-P: ft <br /> <br />E,l,,al Of,?ort*,~ity/Affirmalivc Actio, E,i1ployer <br /> <br />I0 <br /> <br /> <br />
