		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County Executive Tari Moore has decided to bring all animal control services under county government, buying the Cecil County SPCA shelter in Chesapeake City for about $400,000 and also apparently hiring an unspecified number of new county government employees— potentially with full county pay and benefits—and without yet telling the public or County Council the full costs of her actions. Moore’s administration notified competitive bidders Monday morning that she was killing their bids to provide animal control services, and several hours later issued a brief press release stating, without any budget or cost numbers, that she wanted government employees to operate animal services that in the past were handled by non-profit contractors. She plans to put two animal control officers under the authority of Richard Brooks, the county’s second-highest paid employee, as head of Emergency Services. An unspecified number of shelter employees would be put on the payroll of David Trolio, the head of transportation and senior services who has recently expanded his portfolio into a new Department of Community Services. Moore’s belated disclosures are due to be presented to the County Council Tuesday morning (3/15/16) at a worksession at which she is scheduled to appear. That presentation comes [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County Executive Tari Moore has failed to decide among multiple bidders on an 18-month contract for animal control services beginning 1/1/2016, putting off a scheduled recommendation for a contract to the County Council at its Tuesday 11/17/15 meeting and instead scheduling a secret, closed-door meeting with the Council on the issue. As a result, the failure of Moore to present a recommendation to the County Council on the timetable as specified in a “Request for Proposals” or RFP, means that the county administration is foot-dragging so that action will be delayed until close to or after the expiration of the current animal control contract with A Buddy for Life Inc. on 12/31/2015. Under County Council operating procedures and the RFP, a proposed animal control contract was supposed to be submitted to the Council for introduction at its Tuesday evening 11/17/15 legislative meeting, with a vote occurring two weeks later. But now, the earliest a proposed contract could be submitted to the Council would be 12/1/15 with a vote on 12/15/15, with a contractor having just two weeks, including the Christmas holidays, to hire staff and gear up to provide services as of 1/1/2016. And there were no assurances that [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was the veterinarians and victims of problem animals versus the cats activists Tuesday, as the Cecil County Commissioners held a public hearing on their latest proposal to re-write a new animal control ordinance. And both sides highlighted serious problems with the county’s “interim” animal control plan that has left people, seeking help for stray and injured animals, helpless One woman rolled up her sleeve to show scars from a cat attack; a veterinarian new to the county described her problems finding county government help for an injured animal “dumped” at her clinic; a woman told how she lost a baby due to an infection caused by cat feces; and supporters of several animal rescue groups urged deletion of cats from most provisions of the law and they asked for money from county government. The county has been operating without an animal control services contractor since 8/30/12, when the Cecil County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Inc. (CCSPCA) terminated its contract to provide services due to what its attorney called unenforceable, burdensome and in part illegal provisions of the new ordinance. The CCSPCA also withdrew its bid to reinstate services under a “request for proposals” (RFP) several [&#8230;]]]></description>
