RESOLUTION NO. R99-1427

A resolution requesting the Animal Control facility for the Metropolitan Government to open for business on Saturdays.

WHEREAS, in order to make it more convenient for the citizens and residents of Davidson County, and to encourage adoption of animals, it is fitting and proper that the Animal Control facility be staffed for that purpose and open to the public on Saturdays; and
