relies on the community for establishing a vision of how the various �++i
City departments will evolve during these formative years of our
government; and
WHEREAS, Over the past few years, the Milton Fire Department has developed a ;€
unique skill in its Technical Large Animal Emergency Rescue unit (or
"TLAER") that has served the community and the surrounding
jurisdiction in affecting the rescue of numerous trapped or stranded
animals, including several horses rescued during the September 2009
floods; and
WHEREAS, Community support for this highly specialized function has proven an
essential partner in bringing the TLAER unit to their current level of
proficiency, including the purchase of a life-sized horse mannequin,
which is an essential training tool; and
WHEREAS, Each year, the Little River Animal Hospital conducts a fundraiser for
various philanthropic purposes in the North Fulton area; and
WHEREAS, In support of the TLAER unit and its need for this training mannequin
(affectionately known as "Lucky the Horse"), the Little River Animal
Hospital has made a generous contribution toward the Fire
Department's purchase of "Lucky," thereby positively contributing to
the further formation of Milton's unique character.
NOW, THEREFORE, We, the Mayor and City Council of the City of Milton, hereby
proclaim and applaud the Little River Animal Hospital, Dr. J Mize and the charity's
benefactors for this generous support, and do urge all citizens to join in this
celebration.
Given under my hand and Seal of the City of Milton, Georgia on the 6t" day of
January, 2010.
