It was questioned what happened with a tire problem that Mr. Stark had presented to the committee and asked to be taken care of during the winter. Councilman Hargis noted he passed the problem on to Code Enforcement. Mr. Ron Shipley stated the area was actually county property, so he passed the problem on to the county.
It was then questioned how the Humane Society’s move is going. Councilman Hargis stated they are moved. The Humane Society is taking in animals and adopting them. They initially had problems with the sewer line because it had a piece of concrete in it, but that has been fixed.
Councilman Hargis also discussed the animal shelter for 2006. He explained they will be hiring someone to draw up a plan before a construction manager is hired to make sure they get what they want when they put the project out to bid.
