Franklin County to update animal control ordinance

County commissioners have agreed to update the county’s animal control ordinance.

Animal Control Director Fonda Davis made the request at Tuesday’s county commission meeting.

He said the ordinance was written in 2001 and is really in need of being updated – the last time it was changed was in 2006 when the county added the requirement that dog, cat and ferret in Franklin County have to have their rabies vaccinations up to date.        

The commission also agreed to create an interlocal agreement with the cities of Carrabelle and Apalachicola so the county animal control department can operate within the city limits.

The county’s attorney will update the ordinance and create the interlocal agreement for a future county commission meeting.
