The DeWitt County Animal Control Administrator has resigned.

Regional Radio News has learned Donny Benson provided the Public Safety Committee his resignation this month. The Finance Committee tonight (Tuesday) will update the job description in hopes to have the job posted once the County Board approves Thursday.

DeWitt County Animal Control has been under the microscope a few times since the new facility was completed in 2017. The facility has had three administrators in that time. 

Additionally, the Public Safety Committee and the DeWitt County non-profit Second Chance for Pets had a brief difference of opinion over access to the facility.

Megan Myers, who is the Public Safety Committee Chair, and new Board member Kristina Deerwester bring interest in the facility and Second Chance for Pets to the newest edition of County leadership.
