There is ul absolutely nothing wrong with t~?e law covering dogs that stray. Only the total lack of enforcement. Legldmv° Commenw Police Lld~on O1ng"T0"''` When the community continual) sees that the Administration does Ln+n Bpllmgcr nothing but make excuses they ecome extremely fed upl! CI°wk s onlaYC. It Isn't enough just t0 talk to ou police department regarding the Am.lind c°nlu Problems but also an acknowl ement that it has not and is not being done properly and please no yes, however butyl! Even in seAVlce B°ARn view of the current "sloppy cont act" that the County Initiated with Me ckllar Hawaii Island Humane Society. Who ever heard of a County just g accepting someone s proposal a~d making that the contract with no Bal,.acbnell additional requirements or prat coon for the County Oryle K°lur The old contract was more expl it regarding enforcement of the laws. However, the refusal by t, a legislative auditor's office to do a „+welm D~:° complete performance review p~ecludes past history from being loe Be>noldr reviewed and Just looking at th current situation. In other words, even If Hawaii Island Humane 5 ciety didn't enforce the law for AUVISUAY vnd many years, past history doesn .matter. They still are given the FIOfiORARY DOARD contract regardless. I guess Ch rter requirements do not matter! Allen W~Icox Mvlen° Simpcun This situation is not just a hum ne society problem but the total lack of enforcement effects the ~ hole community. Legislation is peorge H°nd;u passed, laws made to protect a d serve the needs of the community and all we hear are excuses i I Over a year ago I gave the Fini~nce Department a long list of things to look for if evaluating an animal control program. This was covering all aspects of their jobs You really don't need an MBA from Stanford to do the fob, ~u~t common sense! i Last May Adam Langford gave the Mayor a proposal from the Humane Society of the United Sitates to do a review. What happened Nothing as usual!!! ;The Finance Department is the County department responsible for overseeing this contract. They get quarterly reports? Iynor/ng a problem wlllnotmake itgo away.
