That City Council request a legal opinion from the City Attorney to the following question:

end
body
HEARING REQUIRED: No Hearing Required
SUMMARY:
It currently appears that Escambia County is providing animal control services to the City of Pensacola. At one time, there was an interlocal agreement which covered this task and required payment from the City to the County. It further appears that this payment was stopped a few years back and there appears to be ambiguity as to whether the interlocal agreement is still viable.
The purpose of requesting this legal opinion is to ascertain if Escambia County’s animal control ordinances are enforceable within the City limits minus some type of interlocal agreement.
