Mr. Bachman echoed Ms. Ley's concern of "sudo rabies" or "mad itch," <br /> is a disease that feral pigs carry, and is aware of a case that an infected a dog, scratch his eazs off <br /> and later died. <br /> Council Member Bob Jacobson stated this is a health and safety issue and questioned using the <br /> contingency fund unless there is a legally mandated program or a budget appropriation. He is <br /> also aware that his subdivision has wild pigs in the area. <br /> Council Member Brenda Ford supported Council Member Yagong's resolution to control the pig <br /> population from a public health and safety standpoint, and confirmed that the same problem <br /> exists on the west side of the island. <br /> Council Member Angel Pilago asked if there is a coordinated effort to mitigate this problem <br /> between Federal, State and County governments, and mentioned the concern of liability on traps <br /> which may cause injury to the borrower. Mr. Bachman confirms there is no collaborated effort <br /> between agencies and those who borrow the traps beaz the responsibility should injury occur. <br /> Council Member Emily Naeole is awaze that the problem exists in the Puna area and the pigs <br /> have been seen on the schools grounds. <br /> Your Committee on Human Services and Economic Development is in accord with the purpose <br /> and intent of Resolution 134-07, and recommends its adoption. <br /> bh <br /> AYES NOES A&E EX Respectfully submitted, <br /> FORD x <br /> HIGH x COMMITTEE ON HUMAN SERVICES <br /> HoFFMANN x AfN~/'DJ~E~C~O~NOMIC D~E~V`E~L~rO[P~ME/NT <br /> JACOBSON x <br /> NAEOLE x EMILY NA OLE, CHAIR <br /> PILAGO x <br /> YAGONG x HSEDC REPORT NO. 2 <br /> YOSHIMOTO x ADOPTED: MAY O Z ZOO7 <br /> <br />
