Staff Report & Agenda Item Details

Request approval of a resolution designating Carlos Carillo, Animal Services Officer Supervisor as the Local Rabies Control Authority (LRCA). Per Sec. 826.017, a municipality is required to designate an officer to act as the LRCA. The individual named can be a county or municipal health officer, animal control officer, peace officer, or any entity that a governing body deems appropriate. Carlos supervises Animal Control field operations in the City and has daily oversight of animal bite cases that may present a rabies health issue. As such, he is an appropriate candidate for the designation.
