County commissioners voted Monday night to transfer $75,000 to build a new animal shelter from the county fund balance to the DeKalb Animal Coalition, as long as certain conditions are met. Animal coalition members will apparently be in charge of day-to-day operations at the new shelter, which has been partially funded by donations of $75,000 from both the city and the county. Third District Commissioner Jack Barton made a motion at last month’s meeting of the commission that the county match the $75,000 promised by the city.
