Commissioners hear animal shelter needs

August 7, 2008

The Galveston County Daily News

TEXAS CITY — If county commissioners call for a November bond referendum, then funding for the county’s animal shelter likely would be on the list of improvements.

Commissioner Stephen D. Holmes said commissioners reached a consensus during a Wednesday meeting in which the health district presented a list of issues plaguing the shelter.

Holmes said commissioners could vote later this month on whether to place a bond election on the Nov. 4 ballot.

Voters would then decide whether to fund improvements at the shelter, Holmes said, which the health district said is plagued by gross overcrowding and disease.
