Approval of Additional Holiday Closing Days for The Pasquotank County Library The Finance Committee has recommended approval to close the Pasquotank County Library on Saturdays when the County has a Friday or Monday holiday. InN North Carolina, euthanasia at shelters can only be performed by a Veterinarian or a Certified Euthanasia Technician (CET). To become a CET, a person must complete an application, pass a background check, receive training from a certified instructor, pass a written test, pass a practical examination, and work at a shelter. One of the recommendations from the Animal Services Study was to have CET certified Animal Control Officers augment the SPCA shelter staff CETS, thereby lowering the cost of euthanizing seriously injured animals after Shelter operating hours or other times when shelter staff CETS are unavailable. The Finance Committee has recommended approval of a 10% certification pay while Animal Control Officers maintain their CET certifications, which also requires the Officers to work in a part-time capacity for the Animal Shelter. The certification pay will be  E. Approval of Certification Pay for Animal Control Officers  retroactive to when the officers became certified.  F. Proposal for United Way Drawing  The County will soon begin its 2023 United Way Campaign. During previous campaigns, as an incentive for employees to contribute to the United Way, the Board agreed to grant eight hours of vacation time to one employee whose name was drawn from the names of all employees who contributed a minimum of $48 to the United Way. It is being requested that the Board approve this incentive again for 2023. Last year, employees contributed a total of $12,219 to the United Way.  Staff recommends approval of the proposal.  8.
