<br /> Mr. Fred Pilkington, Health Director, presented the proposed Animal
<br />Control Ordinance as recommended by the Cabarrus County Board of Health.
<br />During discussion of this matter, Mr. Leon Overcash, Chief Dog Warden,
<br />objected to the adoption of this ordinance as he stated it would be
<br />impossible to enforce the ordinance as proposed. Mrs. Betsy Carpenter,
<br />President of the Cabarrus Animal Protection Association, urged acceptance
<br />of the proposed ordinance, stating that animal control laws were now handled
<br />in a haphazard way in the county and that written guidelines were needed
<br />outlining all animal control laws and rabies control laws as well as
<br />including regulations relating to cruelty to animals.
<br /> UPON MOTION of Commissioner Payne, seconded by Commissioner Nash and
<br />unanimously carried, the Board deferred action on the proposed Animal
<br />Control Ordinance for additional review of the matter.

<br />Coordinator of the Crippled Children's Program to name but a
<br />few of her accomplishments; and
<br />
