Meeting Date June 18, 2019 Department Finance Department/Treasurer Issue Briefing on proposed Ordinance to repeal Sections 10-41 to 10-46 of Division 1, Generally, Article II, Dogs and Cats, of Chapter 10, Animals of the Town Code. Summary Section 3.2-6534 of the 1950 Code of Virginia, as amended, requires that any moneys collected for dog and cat license taxes be used for animal control or care. Pursuant to the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Roanoke County, effective July 1, 2019, the County will pay on behalf of the Town each fiscal year the fees charged to the Town by the Regional Center for Animal Care and Protection (RCACP) during such fiscal year. The Town will continue to employ an animal control officer and provide animal control services to its residents; however, it would be more efficient and cost effective to turn over animal licensing to Roanoke County in light of Roanoke County’s obligation to pay RCACP fees on behalf of the Town. The proposed Ordinance would repeal Sections 10-41 to 10-46 of the Town Code and allow Roanoke County to become responsible for issuing animal licenses for Town residents.
