The Metropolitan King County Council today approved legislation postponing staff reductions in the King County Animal Care and Control system that were part of the proposed Jan. 31 closure of county animal sheltering services.
Members have expressed a strong desire to remain good partners with cities that have relied upon the county to provide animal care and control services for many years. Earlier this month, members of the council agreed with the county executive to extend until June 30, legislation that called for the end of County animal sheltering services at the Kent and Bellevue centers on Jan. 31.
Today’s legislation maintains current employee levels until the end of June.
