§ 14-57. Legislative intent.  


Latest version.
  • It is the purpose and intent of the board of county commissioners to create and establish an animal services advisory committee to act in an advisory capacity on matters involving the animal population within the county, and as specifically otherwise provided for in this chapter. This committee shall be composed of citizens of representative interest who are dedicated to the purpose of providing a sound animal services policy. The committee shall furnish information, advice and counsel to the board of county commissioners in respect to the appropriate means and methods by which the county may adequately provide for protection of its animal population, while at the same time protecting the citizens of the county from unwarranted intrusions by uncontrolled animals. This section shall not be construed as delegating to such committee or any of its members any power or authority of a governmental, legislative or administrative nature, except as specifically provided for in this chapter, but merely is the establishment of an official instrumentality by which the board of county commissioners may claim the benefit of accurate, comprehensive information, advice and counsel concerning all matters relating to animal service programs which may be necessary for appropriate action by the board of county commissioners.
