Commission to discuss closing county animal shelter Saturdays

A short agenda will greet the Fayette County Board of Commissioners at its meeting today.

Four items are on the agenda.

Under old business:

Commissioners will discuss statistics from the county animal shelter with an eye to possibly ending the practice of opening the shelter on Saturdays. Activity on weekends may not justify the cost of opening, officials say.

A transportation proposal, presented at an earlier meeting, will get additional discussion. Stuart Hoff's plan to provide public transportation in Fayette needs official county backing, he told commissioners earlier. He will elaborate today.

Under new business:

Arnie Geiger wants to discuss a proposed name change for Will Adams Road, to Willie Adams Road.

Commissioners will discuss purchase of a road striping machine.

On the group's consent agenda, a list of items that require no discussion and are voted on as a group, commissioners are expected to approve a budget adjustment for the county water system, carrying over $173,050 from the 1999 budget to the 2000 budget.

Commissioners ordinarily conduct a work session on first Wednesdays and a business meeting second Thursdays, but the second Thursday meeting is cancelled this month because it falls the day after the first Wednesday meeting.

The next commission meeting will be July 22.
