# Resources & Community Support Committee  -  September 14, 2026

The Hardin County Government Resources & Community Support Committee met on September 14, 2026, primarily to discuss a proposed countywide ordinance addressing the regulation of animal sales, particularly targeting puppy mills and unregulated animal sales in unincorporated areas. The ordinance aligns with similar regulations already in place in the cities of Radcliffe and Elizabethtown and aims to standardize enforcement across the county, with animal control officers responsible for compliance. The committee discussed enforcement challenges, penalties for violations, and coordination with incorporated cities. No specific contract awards, procurement decisions, or budget allocations were made during this meeting, but the ordinance could impact future enforcement resource needs and animal control operations. The ordinance requires two readings and will be advertised and presented to the fiscal court for approval.
