Southeast Volusia Humane Society Agreement
Mr. Kenneth Hooper passed out a copy of the proposed agreement between the
City of Edgewater and the Southeast Vol usia Humane Society, SEVHS. Mr.
Hooper advised that the agreement was produced after a meeting with persons
representing the SEVHS. Mr. Hooper went on to explain the problems that the
City of Edgewater and other surrounding cities were having and the reason
behind writing an agreement. Mr. Hooper explained that the previous meeting
to discuss the agreement produced the written agreement that they were
reviewing. He stated that Robin Matusick had typed the agreement and mailed
to the SEVHS for final approval. Upon its return to the City of Edgewater
changes were made by the SEVHS. Those changes are indicated in the copy by
a strike through. Mr. Hooper also pointed out that the current ordinance See. 5-
41 Sub. b, Disposition of impounded animals, may need to be amended due to
unclaimed animal being adoptable or disposed of now being 3 days and the
agreement showing 3 days for adoptable and 5 days for disposal. Upon further
discussion the board decided to table the changes to the ordinance for the time
being and send a representative to the SEVHS next board meeting to discuss the
proposed agreement. The following motion was made.
Motion: Made by Donna Wagner to have Robin Hendricks make contact with
SEVHS to request the subject be put on the agenda for the December14th 2000
meeting and represent the City of Edgewater Animal Control Board, seconded by
Dr. D. Vanis. Motion carried 3-0.
