When I was familar with the HSCC by-laws, they stated if it was dissolved, the assets and such could only be turned over to a similar non profit type of organization. (it wouldn't be desolved because the city said it wanted it to) <BR/> <B>AND,</B> I thought that the building the hscc is in, was deeded to the hscc at least 6 years ago. <BR/><BR/>The HSCC could still function and perhaps could go back to a true hscc if they did not have to do animal control. So, I'm not sure that I see animal control as a loss for the hscc. The contract with the city, in the past, has always been fullfilled to the letter, a number of times, giving the city more than what was contracted for, such as so many hours patrolling. The HSCC has more functions than just animal control. <BR/><BR/>The hscc receives donations that are tax deductable that help it with operating revenue and programs, such as spaying/neutering, microchipping, just to name a few. <BR/><BR/>Even if the city took back animal control, the hscc would still exist. The city can not control a non profit. I'm not a lawyer, but isn't that correct, geeguyj?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11068216.post-20885811310464857142007-07-02T06:27:00.000-07:002007-07-02T06:27:00.000-07:00It'll be quite interesting to see just WHO is the ...It'll be quite interesting to see just WHO is the person that will be running the shelter now. For you see, if it ends up being gloria lamott, donna's pal, WHY? Why weren't OTHER more qualified people considered for the job? And WHAT will the salarly be? Is donna now co-dicktater with johnny? Maybe we should disband the city commission too! It may not be nepotism, but is sure as hell is CRONYISM!, of the ugliest kind.<BR/><BR/>LKAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
