NOEL Evans, the county director for animal control, had asked for permission to send his officers in pairs door to door in various cities to license all of the animals. Mr. Evans indicated that this program would be strictly voluntary on the officers part. They would do this door to door selling on their off hours. THE OFFICERS will knock on each door and inquire if the owners have a dog and if so is that animal licensed. They will then sell the owner a license if they dont have one. Cost will be $10. Of this amount the county will receive $5 and the officer selling the license will get the other $5. MR. EVANS said it is es- timated that there are about 20.000 dogs in the county, only 9.000 were licensed last year. This program is an effort to see that all dogs are licensed. He added that if an owner who does not have a license for their animal and does not have the money when the of- ficers are there, then his office will give that citizen one week to purchase the license or a citation will be issued. COMMISSIONER Smoot indicated that he felt if there was no penalty for not having the license then he thought that the owners will just wait until the officers come around to purchase one. Mr. Evans indicated that in some cases a citation will be issued for not having a license. If they felt that this is what the owner in fact did then his officers would issue a citation. THE commission requested that Mr. Evans make a monthly report to the commission on the progress of the program. The door to door selling program will go into effect around May 1. dw This is the third time Clearfield City has applied for federal funds and also the third time it has been reject- ed.
