Director Suggest Animal Control Be Under Sanitation Dept

Ft. Smith Board of Directors are seeking ways to increase money going into the police and firefighters' pension fund.  George Catsavis, Ward 4 Director, wants to discuss the possibi- lity of the Police Department's 5-man Animal Control Unit being placed under the Sanitation Department, which is its own enterprise.

Currently the Animal Control Unit is overseen by the Police Department.  It is at a yearly cost of approximately $600,000 which includes boarding fees paid to the Sebastian County Hu- mane Society.

Catsavis would like to bring the topic to a study session for discussion.
