Chairman McNeill called to order a public hearing on the proposed FY 2012 -2013 budget and
opened the floor for comments from the public.
Christine Perry, 130 Pine Street West and president of the Harnett Welfare Coalition, spoke in
support of restoring an Animal Shelter attendant position. Ms. Perry said 1007 fewer animals

up all of the stray animals. Chairman McNeill responded that the requested position had been
restored in earlier budget discussions.
