City and County Debate Funding for New Animal Shelter
City commissioners push for a new animal shelter with county funding, amid estimates from $465,000 to $614,000. The county budget session offered no funds, citing tax concerns, while officials debate bonding, phased payments, and funding from non tax sources. The current shelter faces air filtration, space limits, and repeated state health department citations. County officials plan a Monday meeting with health, youth services, planning, public works, and the sheriff to discuss next steps.
