Board moves funds in Animal Control
Saturday, February 10, 2018
The Blytheville Finance Committee met Thursday and approved a transfer of $3,000 from Animal Control's “building maintenance fund” to their “travel fund.” They also announced that Animal Control has a second new full-time officer. Neither of the department’s two officers is certified at this time. The department was considering a training program in Florida; however, the program would only offer 40 classroom hours of training and no certification. In order to receive certification, the officers would have to attend the training an additional time, which would cost an additional $3,000.
