The Boone County Board has voted unanimously to have its health and human services committee investigate construction of a new animal control building.
Board members agreed Wednesday night (Sept. 18) to direct the committee to come up with a plan, a location, cost estimate and funding source that likely will include public and private partners throughout the county.
This will be the second time since 2002 that the county has considered new quarters for the department.
Terrinoni said he thought increasing dog registration fees would be the best option for bringing in more revenue. He also suggested that the county and others “join together as a community to build this facility.”
District 1 board member Bill Pysson pressed for a decision, pointing out tens of thousands of dollars had been spent in the past to study the issue and nothing had been done. “If Mr. Walberg and his voting block don’t want a new building, that’s fine,” he said.
