		<description><![CDATA[A CECIL TIMES SPECIAL REPORT Cecil County Executive Tari Moore&#8211; who has unilaterally suspended county laws governing an Animal Control Oversight panel, extended a controversial 3-year animal control contract and signed a kennel lease for six months, all without County Council approval—is considering taxpayer purchase of a private kennel business that some local residents have complained about. The kennel is located in a residential zone that now does not allow a dog kennel use but is “grandfathered” because it was established many years ago. Converting the property to a government-owned animal shelter&#8211; with two trucks used to pick up and deliver strays and generating significant traffic from people looking for lost pets or seeking to adopt a dog or cat—would no doubt cause concerns to nearby property owners in the residential neighborhood. Based on reviews of public records, court documents, property records, real estate for sale listings and other information, CECIL TIMES has identified the property in question but is not publishing the specific location, its name, or the names of its owners so as to avoid a disclosure that might be considered impeding the county’s negotiating process. However, the county in effect telegraphed the property’s owners that the government [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County Executive Tari Moore on Friday submitted to the County Council proposed changes to the county’s animal law that would convert an independent citizen ‘oversight’ panel into an ‘advisory’ board dominated by county government officials to supervise the county’s private animal control contractor. The revisions also remove language allowing the panel to consult with a licensed veterinarian on animal matters. Moore unilaterally suspended operations of the Animal Care and Control Oversight Commission (ACCOC), which was established under county law, several months ago after an incident following a panel meeting when several Girl Scouts were allegedly subjected to racial slurs outside the county building. The scouts spoke up to advocate humane treatment of animals housed at the Elkton shelter rented by A Buddy for Life, Inc., which holds a $2.24 million county animal control contract. A videotape of the incident has gone viral on the Internet and reports of the incident have received state, national and international media attention.

Instead, county administrator Al Wein and county attorney Jason Allison responded, saying Moore had asked them to reply [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Cecil County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Inc. (CCSPCA) has withdrawn its bid to resume animal control services to the Cecil County government, citing what the group’s lawyer called a “tainted” county bidding process. The CCSPCA’s withdrawal leaves one bidder, A Buddy for Life, Inc., a Delaware-based volunteer dog rescue with no shelter, no experience in animal control services, and no employees. However, the group is believed to be planning to sub-contract with other individuals and entities to share in the workload and money received from the county. A review panel, consisting of senior county officials, met with representatives of the Buddy group Thursday morning to hear an oral presentation and discuss areas of concern. The group is expected to submit a final proposal based upon the discussion, according to County Administrator Al Wein and County Attorney Norman Wilson. They also said that Commissioner Diana Broomell (R-4), who had earlier said she wanted to sit in on the review team’s meeting with bidders, did not attend the session. The review panel had also been slated to meet with the CCSPCA on Thursday but that session was cancelled after Michael J. Halter, the organization’s volunteer attorney, delivered [&#8230;]]]></description>
