Williamson County faces budget strain from animal shelter
Williamson County Animal Control's finances are under scrutiny as warden David Meneese remains off work for health concerns. County Chairman Wendell Fisher notes the shelter, serving Johnston City and most county villages, finished 2002 over budget by more than $30,000 and raised animal pickup fees to 1.75. With only two officers remaining, the board seeks better accountability and contemplates contingency adjustments. In other business, the commissioners plan a letter supporting Crawford and Associates' grant application for the Coal Valley Water District to fund line analysis and capacity needs, aiming for a $17,000 to $25,000 Planning Assistance grant from the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunities.
