29) PUBLIC HEARING/Resolution Minutes 7/27/06

Kennel Ordinance

Posted By: kaylorDate: Wednesday, 26 July 2006, at 1:01 p.m.

The public hearing on the amendment to the animal control ordinance was also during yesterday's Committee of the Whole meeting.

At least one other kennel owner was in attendance, even took off work to be there.

Someone spoke about the inconvenience of the times for these county meetings, I think during one of monday's committee meetings. Well, I think they do that deliberately to try to avoid having many people show up for the meetings.

Most people can not afford to take time off to attend meetings.

Whatever, I was the only one that spoke up. Their current kennel ordinance does not comply with state law and what they are proposing to change it to, also does not comply with state law.

They don't seem to care. "This is Shiawassee County and this is how we do it." attitude.

We have a bunch of outlaws running the county. The "Shiawassee Gang"........

jmho........but I hope the upcoming vote reflects other's opinions are along a similar line.

28) KENNEL OWNERS

KENNEL OWNERS……………………


There is going to be a Public Hearing JULY 25, 2006 4 P.M.

At the Surbeck Building in Corunna (the only 3 story bldg) during the County Commissioners Committee of the Whole meeting.


They plan to amend the Animal Control Ordinance to modify the definition of a kennel to exclude veterinary clinics.

They wouldn’t do that for one of us.


This would be a good time to suggest they bring their kennel “ordinance” into compliance with state law.





Be nice if you could attend.

If not - call your county Commissioner
