BY: HEALTH COMMITTEE - Mr. Burley
IN RE: MISC. RES. 5749- AMENDING ACT #224, P.A. 1969
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Your Committee reports that it has received and considered Miscellaneous Resolution
#5749 in reference to Section #8 of Act 224 with reference to amending said section
providing for a waiting period of five days before allowing prospective new owners to select
an animal at the County Animal Shelter or for disposing of an animal.
It is the opinion of Civil Counsel that it would not be necessary to change the law,
but make this an administrative matter. The dog could be tagged for future ownership before
the five days were up but still be held the full time and this procedure would meet the provisions
of the law as it stands.
Your Committee further reports that it concurs on changing the stated administrative
procedures and that Miscellaneous Resolution #5749 is herewith being reported back to this
Board with no action taken by the Health Committee,
The Health Committee, by Dale C. Burley, Chairman, moves the acceptance of the
foregoing report.
