In some cases reports are valid and require intervention of the law. Other reports although subcitizens mitted by prove to be invalid. All reports of animal cruelty are investigated either by a county sheriffs deputy, police officer, or animal control officer, depending on where they occur. Roosevelt city employs Barbara Price as their animal control officer. Price is responsible for a number of things including picking up abused animals and investigating animal cruelty reports. Roosevelt does not have too many cases of animal cruelty, said Price, however it does happen. When reports are valid the law intervenes on behalf of the animal. "Thera is a cruelty to animals statute and we have charged people with that," commented Sgt. Steve Hooley of the Roosevelt Police Department. Recent cases of animal cruelty in Roosevelt include a cat put down the sewer by kids. The cat was rescued by neighbors who reported the abuse. A few years ago Roosevelt police also handled a case involving a dog shot with several arrows by its owner. The dog was pretty bad, relates Price. While offenses like those deserve to be punished some reports, mostly of neglect, are thoroughly investigated and found to be innocent. When an offense is charged, it is filed in the 8th District Court. Duchesne County does not have an ordinance conceminganimal cruelty, so crimes ofanimal abuse committed in the county would fall under the state law. The county does not employ an animal control officer. AnimalcrueltycrimesinRoosevelt also fall under state law because the city adopted state code into city ordinance. State law defines animal cruelty as intentionally, knowingly, recklessly or with criminal negligence: failing to provide necessary food, care, well-Aieani- ruary 1998.

According to Roger Eschler, Roosevelt City Building inspector, though the city experienced a minimal decrease in their permit numbers there is nothing to worry about. Eschler says there is not a single contributing factor for the decrease. Last year the city issued 14 permits for new residences, three for residential remodels that was down by 10 from the 13 issued in 1999. There were six residential additions last year, down seven from the 13 issued in 1999. Thera were two modular home permits issued last year and no storage shed permits. The city issued four new commercial building permits last year and or shelter for an animal in a persons nistody, abandoning an animal, transporting itin a cruel manner , injuring an animal.

It becomes a class C misdemeanor if the act was committed recklessly or with criminal negligence.

Generally reports are concerned with the food and water situation of the animal. When the sheriffs department receives a report of animal cruelty they investigate the situation to determine if the animal iabeingtreated properly, said sheriffs Lt. Travis Mitchell. Deputies look at the animal, and talk to the owner. Mitchell said that in most cases animals are fine, even though they may not frilly meet the criteria of the person who reported the case. Deputies usually have enough knowledge to determine if the animal is being neglected, he said. Situations that a deputy is not sure ofare handled by a veterinarian.

Hesayspermitnumbersmaybedown but dollar wise the city is doing fine. The term "valuation ia the projects estimated value, he explained. Permit fees within the city and county are based on the valuation ofthe property. The more a building costa to construct, the more the permit fee will be. Duchesne County experienced a $289,195 total valuation decrease in 2000. While the total number of permits decreased overall, certain permit areas increased. There were 32 single family dwelling permits issued in 1999, that number increased to 35 permits issued in 2000. Valuation increased approximately $1 million totaling $3,068,000 last year. Issued Cabin permits increased by one last year. In 1999 there were 18 permits issued; 19 were issued in 2000. Cabin valuation increased approximately $78,000.
