Carolyn Fowler, Mr. W� Rice Mrs .Rank, Bmwnd There were members of the press and visitors In the gallery. ! Mr. Ross opened the remarks for the NAACP by stating that they ;; had requested the meeting because of the reason that they had not 1heard from the Council in reference to the meeting of June 9th, 19714', ! And since the Mayor had not allowed discussion on it at the June 21j, IJ971 Council Meeting the wanted to know where they stood in regard$ ,Ito their objections to the location of the Dog Pound. Mr. Hager stated that he assumed that the NAACP president and ,members had read the paper and found out what action the Council h04! taken after they left the meeting of June 9th, 1971. The Mayor Protem, Mr. Hager, then proceeded to talk in favor of the re-location of the Dog Pound to the new proposed location. His statements were questioned by Councilman Strong, who stated that the action of the Joint Meeting of June 9th between thei! Building and the Health Committee was in favor of finding a new location. Mr. Hager then informed the members of the Council and those present that Mr. Strong's motion to move the location was no longer valid because one of the Council members who had voted in favor of this motion had now changed his vote and was going to vote in favoril of the location of the Fire Station. Objections were heard from various members and neighbors o f t hel 1000 block East Miller. These objections were from Mrs . Fowler who stated that she had lived in the neighborhood when Mr. Roark had thcj Dog Pound at 510 Locust and she said it was a nuisance, she felt i that it had no right to be placed in an area that was mostly resi- i;: Idential. Mrs . Ellen Brown raised her objection as did Mr. Childs who also live in the immediate vicinity of the 900 block E. Miller. They felt that loading, unloading and general handling of the dogs would create a nuisance for the neighbors . Mr. Hager spoke in favor of the location for the Dog Pound and called attention to the display of one of the stainless steel cages that had been brought in to show the sanitary manner that the place would be handled. Dr. Nemer City Health Officer, spoke in favor and assured thac. it would be sanitary. His Secretary, Mrs . L. Patton, spoke and assured all of the ersons present that it would have to be kept clean and sanitary 9ecause their office would be in front of the kennels . kennels .

Robinson stated that all black people will be against this move, and pleaded with the Council to move it some where else that the black people of Jefferson City had made it clear that they did not want this Dog Pound in this area.
