		<description><![CDATA[The Cecil County Council voted 4-1 Tuesday 2/19/13 to approve five nominees to an Animal Control oversight panel, despite one member having been cited for violations of animal laws. And a Delaware rescue group that is being paid over $2.2 million by the county to handle animal control is abandoning its animal-less shelter on Appleton Road and moving all its operations to the private Rainwood Kennel in Elkton, county officials announced. Since A Buddy for Life, Inc. began its three-year government contract on 1/1/13, the group has had an office on Appleton Road that lacked proper zoning to house dogs so animals were taken to 11 leased kennels at Rainwood, on Hutton Road, and an equal number at a Chester County, PA private kennel. But an announcement by the county government stated that the Buddy group would be consolidating its operations at Rainwood as of 2/25/13. “This facility will allow A Buddy for Life, Inc. to have all animal control services at one site and will provide the residents of Cecil County one physical location to search for their lost pet, adopt an animal or volunteer,” according to the county government’s statement.

		<description><![CDATA[A nominee for the new Animal Control Oversight panel was cited for two violations of animal laws in 2011, documents obtained by Cecil Times show. But the documents also show departures from usual protocols for handling a non-emergency, anonymous complaint regarding cats and there are questions about the timing and intensity of an investigation initiated by Gerald Hawkins, the new chief animal control officer for A Buddy for Life&#8211; the Delaware rescue group that recently began a $2.2 million contract with the Cecil County government for animal control. Asked about the citations on Monday, Hawkins said he would have to “consult with my attorney.” Ricky Lewis II, who operates the “Cat Crusaders” cat rescue group, was nominated by County Executive Tari Moore—following the wishes of District 4 Councilor Diana Broomell—for the new animal control oversight panel. Moore picked one person from each Council district that had been endorsed by Council members. Ratification of the list of nominees is on the agenda for County Council meetings on Tuesday 2/19/13.
