Planning and inspections director Steve White is in discussions with the Village Animal Welfare League and the City of Hot Springs to outsource the operations of the Animal Shelter.
The POA is threatening to reduce the number of Animal Control officers from two to one and sending all animals picked up in the Village down to Hot Springs.
This is not an area for POA budget trimming acceptable to a good number of Villagers. Cut golf instead of animal services.
If you feel strongly regarding this issue go to the POA board work session this Wednesday at 9 a.m. at the Ponce de Leon Center Ouachita room and let the directors know that you don't want to drive to Hot Springs to pick up your house pet if it gets out of your house, you don't want the Village crawling with unwanted animals because there is not enough staff to pick up dogs and cats dumped in the area and you don't want injured animals to suffer because there is no staff to take care of them.
Tell the directors to save money some other way. The Village has always had a working animal shelter and to take it away at this point is far worse than taking away recycling without public comment.
