County Health Department were present to dis-
cuss the new Lake County Rabies Control Ordinance.
Dr. Miller said the Lake County Health Department will enforce the rabies
control ordinance and to that end the Health Department will appoint a licensed
veterinarian who will enforce all sections of the Illinois Animal Control Act. Dogs
and cats must be registered by the Health Department within 21 days after inoculation
against rabies. Upon presentation of the completed vaccination certificate, the
owner must pay the fee set by the Health Department and the Department will furnish
the owner with a registration certificate and an official Lake County rabies tag.
It was pointed out that the Lake County Ordinance constitutes double taxation.
The Village has an animal warden and licenses dogs with a current certificate of
inoculation against rabies. Mr. Crim said the Board of Health may enter into contracts
with municipalities which shall define the Health Departmene s role within the muni-
cipality and set a fee to the municipality for the services provided by the Health
Department. Mr. Crim will discuss the matter further with the manager, and report
in writing. Several members stated they would like to have the Village work with the
County on rabies control but the question of double taxation should be resolved.
