<br /> "At your meeting of March 14, 1972, Vice Mayor Burretl R. Johnson moved that suitable
<br />amendments to the present "dog laws" be submitted at your next Council meeting. Such motion
<br />was subsequently passed. In accordance with that motion, I submit for your consideration
<br />amendments which revise those sections that pertain to the control and licensing of dogs.
<br />
<br /> You will note that I have submitted for your consideration three alternative approaches
<br />to Section 3-14. That section, as you know, prohibits dogs from running at large and defines
<br />the term "running at large". The first of the three alternatives, of course, is that which
<br />is presently in the Code of the City of Portsmouth. The second and third alternatives are
<br />different approaches to th6 control of dogs running at large.
<br />
<br /> Also included are revisions to the rest of those portions of Chapter 3 of the Code of
<br />th~ City of Portsmouth which pertain to the control of dogs and the licensing of dogs."

<br />Regiohal Health Planning Council, Inc., was read:
<br />
<br /> "Mr. Moore has asked me to reply to your letter of March 17, 1972. On February 24, 1972
<br />Council's professional staff sent out questionnaires to all hospitals in the Tidewater Re~ioni
<br />all health, departments and military medical facilities to learn what testing was being done
<br />for persons with sickle cell anemia. A report on the completed survey forms will be pre-
<br />sented to Council's Community Health Services Committee at their next meeting. We can, after
<br />the council board has taken action on the report, share with you the report and its recom-
<br />mendations.
<br />
<br /> We received 100 per bent cooperation on the sickle cell anemia testing questionnaire
<br />and the majority of the hospitals and health departments in the region are currently en-
<br />gaged in testing for sickle cell anemia,~ bdth the trait and the actUal genetic abnormality.
<br />
<br /> As you may be aware, the Council is awaiting official notification from the Department
<br />of Health, Education, and Welfare on approval of a grant application to fund an Experimental
<br />Health Care Delivery Syseem for the entire Tidewater Region. Part of the .project requires
<br />the establishment of a corporate management body made up of honsumers and providers of health
<br />care~ political representation, and third-party payors. One oE the staff meeo~endations on
<br />sickle cell anemia will be to suggest that this corporate management body he the contracting
<br />agent for groups applying for federal funds to support sickle cell anemia programs.
