The officer(s) herein referred to are named as follows, to-wit: (1) Blair D. Bennett, Finance Director Chairman Lentz stated that the item on the agenda regarding the Rocky River Wastewater Treatment Plant and Interceptors Final Settlement would be deferred until the meeting on January 4, 1988. The Board received the letter from Mr. R. Gene McCombs, Kannapolis City Manager, requesting that Cabarrus County "apply and enforce all laws and ordinances relating to animal control in that portion of the City of Kannapolis that lies in Cabarrus County." UPON MOTION of Commissioner Payne, seconded by Commissioner Melvin and unanimously carried, the Board moved that Cabarrus County will enforce Animal Control in that area of Kannapolis that lies within Cabarrus County. Chairman Lentz recessed the meeting of the Board of Commissioners at 10:00 P.M. until the conclusion of the meeting of the Board of Commissioners of the Water and Sewer District of Cabarrus County. Chairman Lentz reconvened the meeting of the Board of Commissioners at 10:12 P.M. Mr. Charles D. McGinnis, County Manager, reported that the P. M. Morris property located on Union Street across from the County Courthouse would be sold at public auction on February 22, 1988. Mr. Fletcher L. Hartsell, Jr., County Attorney, asked for clarification regarding the joint resolution adopted by the Concord Board of Aldermen and the Board of Commissioners regarding condemnation proceedings for the Coddle Creek Reservoir project and the appraisals of property that had been acquired at that time by the City of Concord. The Board by consensus indicated that upon adoption of the joint resolution regarding condemnation proceeding the Board had adopted the City of Concord's appraisals and that the County Attorney could use these figures for condemnation purposes. The Board agreed to hear persons in the audience who wished to speak regarding Animal Control. Mr. Paul Goodman complained about dogs that had killed his livestock in February and June, 1987, and about the lack of action by Cabarrus County Animal Control to control the problem of dogs running loose in the county. He stated in his opinion Animal Control should not be under the Health Department and that more tickets should be written to help implement current rules. Mr. Dean Tate of Harrisburg complained of pit bulls running loose in his neighborhood and attacking and killing his dogs. He further complained that Animal Control had not taken the proper action to have the pit bulls declared vicious and destroyed. Ms. Betsy Carpenter, President of the Cabarrus Animal Protection Association, complained that Animal Control was not issuing enough tickets and that actions could be taken to have a dog declared vicious. She asked that the Board consider the licensing of dogs. Mr. William F. Pilkington, Health Director, noted that Animal Control is the responsibility of the Health Department. He stated that the Board should recognize that the Animal Control Wardens are doing a good job. Mr. Pilkington further pointed out that it was hard to declare a dog vicious if there is no complaint filed. Chairman Lentz asked Commissioner Melvin to follow up on the Animal Control complaints received by the Board on this date. UPON MOTION of Chairman Lentz, seconded by Commissioner Melvin and unanimously carried, the Board by resolution fixed the time and.place of its first regular meeting of each calendar month as 3:00 P.M. (rather than 9:30 A.M.) on the first Monday of each month in the Commissioners' Room of the Cabarrus County Courthouse. The time and place of the second regular meeting continues to be fixed at 7:00 P.M. on the third Monday of each month at the same location. There being no further business to come before the Board, the meeting was adjourned at 11:10 P.M. Clerk to the Board
