Local=20 animal supporters approached the Amador County Board of Supervisors = Tuesday to=20 request $15,000 to continue a successful spay and neutering = program.

"A=20 female cat can have two to three litters a year, with four to six = kittens in=20 each litter," said Susan Manning, president of A-PAL Humane Society of = Amador=20 County. "You do the math."

Manning, Animal Control Director John = Vail and=20 General Services Director Jon Hopkins were accompanied by a host of = almost 20=20 local supporters in their request for continued funding.

The = request was=20 granted out of a contingency fund after supervisors heard that the = balance in=20 the A-PAL account was down to $736.

Hopkins validated Manning's = claim of=20 a recent 30 percent increase in cat drop-offs at the animal shelter, = suggesting=20 that the economic downturn played a significant role in the increase. = "People=20 moving out of the area or displaced from their homes tend to just leave = pets=20 behind," Vail told supervisors. "Although kitten season is waning, = they're still=20 coming in every week."

The Amador Council on Tourism presented = its=20 midyear progress report to the board of supervisors Tuesday, with = Executive=20 Director Maureen Funk saying ACT had "more than tripled our budget to=20 $82,000."

The board of supervisors had granted ACT $20,000 = funding=20 request through the county's collection of transient occupancy tax, or = TOT, last=20 summer. The rest of the financial upswing, according to Funk, came = through=20 funding from the cities of Jackson and Sutter Creek, business owners and = a=20 variety of new partnerships.

Exposure in magazines like Sunset, = TRAVEL=20 HOST and Sacramento Magazine has also helped.

Funk supplied a = financial=20 overview of six major achievements directly resulting from the board's=20 investment in ACT earlier this year. On the horizon is Christmas = Delights, an=20 annual Jackson festival hosted by the Historic Jackson Business = Association that=20 will be held Nov. 23 and 24 this year.
