There was discussion with the Humane Society representatives
about the implications of the Council's motion to establish a dog
control zone in the Paradise Lakes Country Club area. Humane
Society Director Mary Henry stated that they would need more
information regarding the number and type of complaints; the
handling of the licensing requirement; residents' expectations
regarding enforcement; and the role that Paradise Lakes' private
security force would play in enforcement of the zone. The
implications df a request for more service on the County's
existing contract with the Humane Society were also discussed.
Warner said he would ask the Public Services Committee to further
investigate those issues.
