County eyes MCAS run shelter to cut costs
The county proposes leasing the shelter to MCAS for one dollar a year with a first year subsidy capped at 266 500 to cut nearly 200 000 in annual county funding. MCAS would hire staff maintain the facility and insurance while the non profit would pursue grants and be overseen by a county commission member. Michelle Muncy would head the non profit with a board including a county commissioner. The plan keeps shelter under county umbrella and requires annual audits. Buckner remains undecided but open to listening to residents as hurdles remain.
