Some Vermilion County Board members voiced concerns at Tuesday evening’s meeting about the Vermilion County Animal Shelter. Bill Pickett has the story,,,,
Audio PlayerKevin Green said he was disappointed when former Animal Control Director Kasey Snyder was let go. Another board member, Joe Eakle, voiced concerns about the lack of sufficient air-conditioning at the shelter on the Catlin-Tilton Road.
Vermilion County Board Chairman Steve Miller says the county is awaiting word from an architect about the air conditioning problems…
Audio Player{AUDIO: “But the initial reaction that the architect gave me that it simply is an atiquated system. It hasn’t, perhaps, always been operated properly. But we’ll know more when we hear from the architect.”}
Miller added all options are being explored regarding the animal shelter….
Audio Player{AUDIO: “The City of Danville is a big player in all of this. They’ve indicated that they are supportive of maybe having another alternative site, and they’ve been in negotiations with us. So we have a lot of moving parts going-on right now to try to make the best decision for all areas of the county.”}
The County did have some repairs made to the air-conditioning at the animal shelter earlier, but some board members say it was only a “band-aid” and that more needs to be done.
