Commissioner Hatch said it is a little late in the year to consider a roofing project and that holdingoff until spring might be put them on hold. The next item on the agenda was the payment of bills. There w as a bill for Sahara and also for Emery Telcom. The Emery Telcom bill was in the amount of $50,992 for the new public safety complex building and the courts building.

He reported that the current occupant of the building had fixed a drain which seemed to hae fixed the problem of backup at the present time. The repairs by the occupant for the state courts had previously agreed to pay half the cost of bringing communications and utilities to the site. These costs may be added to the state courts lease but it was not known at this time. The minutes from the previous meetingwere approved and the meetingwas adjourned.

Seven percent are adopted and 8 percent are returned to their owners. We would like to change those statistics. Many people do not care about those statistics, but to many people their dogs and cats are important and are members of the family. The impound fee of $10 and $2 a day for room and board for animals doesnt even come close to the costs of caring for these animals. I think the county should be reimbursed for some of these costs and that the individuals who own the animals should take on the burden. We mostly see two types of animals coming in to the facility and these are nonspayed and structure the. fees to encourage people to take care of their animals. People' need to be responsible for their pets. One suggestion is having a microchip installed under the skin of a dog or cat for identification purposes. The law re quires that animals have identification on them but most of those picked up do not have any identification. With the chip if an. animal was picked up the owner could be identified and the animal returned home without hav7 ing to be brought into the facil- We would like to ity. We wnnt the owner to be rc-- . sponsible and either pick up the animal or arrange to give i( away. I propose to increase im-- ; pound fees to $20 for the first' pickup, $30 for the second and $45 for the third. A law is not good unless people adhere to it.' neutered kittens and puppies.
