BY SUSAN USHER
Brunswick County moved closer
toward tightening the reins on stray
and nuisance-causing animals Monday
night.
County commissioners discussed
proposed amendments intended to
put more bite into the county's
animal control ordinance, but
delayed action until a July 22
iinxuiig.
The delay is to allow additional
review by commissioners and
members of the Sea Trail community
who first lodged a request for a
county-wide leash ordinance.
"It's a substantial improvement
over the existing ordinance as we
now understand it." commented
Dick Goode, while Zane Winters said
the changes should discourage violations
and cut down on complaints
received by the shelter.
The proposed amendments
would in no way, said County Attorney
David Clcgg, "turn the animal
control officers into dogcatchers."
Bather they would concentrate on
individual problems by:
Increasing the fees necessary to
reclaim an impounded dog or cat to
$5 for a dog and $2 for a cat on first offense;
up to $25 and $8 respectively
the second time the animal is
reclaimed, to $50 and $25 respectively
on subsequent violations. An added
boarding fee of $3 per day for dogs
and $1 per day for cats would lie
charged, as well as the cost of a

Some people, often when they
pass the 50-year mark, can benefit
by wearing glasses when they
watch television. Heading glasses
won't help.

Clegg added that the changes

court, or else gives the county the
substance it needs to ask the court to
otherwise charge costs to the witness

he does not anticipate the proposed
ordinance adding to the staff's
workload.
"We go out on every complaint
now," he explained. "The difference
is what happens then."
Siuugc AppucMuOii
At County Attorney David Clegg's
request, the board went on record

to the City of Wilmington and
Biograde Systems to dispose of
siuage (industrial waste) oy
spreading it cn 'cased land in the northwestern
portion of the county.
Clegg said the county had no legal
grounds on which to object.
"We can't do anything about it. I'm
mad and about it and I want you to be
mad about it too.
"It's not that I think it will be
tremendously harmful to the environment
of Brunswick County, by
no means," he added. "It upsets me
tha they would do this on June 4 and
simply tell us. I would like to have
known this beforehand."
Trace elements of mercury, zinc,
lead, copper and cadmium were to be
within acceptable levels, Clegg advised.
Other Business
In other business, commissioners:
Adopted the 1985-86 budget ordinance,
setting a 59Hi-cents tax rate,
and adopted an interim water budget
with a provision allowing the county
to pay about $135,000 to the Ixiwer
Cape Fear Water and Sewer Authority
for operation and maintenance,
and to accept the return from the
authority of $430,000, the unspent
bond proceeds the county can now
apply to other capital projects.

"But we're running into
problems," he said. "We don't know
if we're going to be able to do that."
Heard a recommendation from County
Manager Billy Carter to consider
employing a planning architect to
begin looking at the courtroom facility
and other construction proposed at
the county complex.
Approved a memo explaining the
county's plans regarding salary increases
and merit pay for employees
in this fiscal year.
Amended the county's water line
design contract with Jerry Lewis &
Associates engineers by a $15,000 increase
to reflect the fee for the county's
request that the firm prepare
dual bid specifications for a 24-inch
and a 20-inch trunk line in Segment 5.
"I think we'll need larger than a
20-inch with the demand in that
area," Shields said. "If the price is
agreeable we'll probably go with the
24-inch." If the county does choose
the larger line, the engineering firm
will not receive the additional
$15,000.
Directed Shields to consult with
landfill, building and grounds and
construction denartment hpads to s?
if the county has the manpower and
equipment to build its own lx>ckwood
Folly Township convenience station
at Oxpcn Hoad. Of two bids received
after a second advertisement for construction
of a concrete wall and pad,
one bidder had failed to have his
license renewed and had committed
a misdemeanor in bidding, the other
bid, from Crowder Construction, was
by Shield's estimation, "way out of
line" at $86,000 when it should be
closer to about $35,000.
