VERMILION COUNTY, Ill. (WCIA) — In a recent session on Tuesday, the Vermilion County Board decided to revise the fee structure for the Department of Animal Regulations.

This department plays a crucial role in providing vital services such as animal control, care, and ensuring public safety across Danville and Vermilion County. However, authorities have pointed out that the existing charges for services like kennel rentals, officer salaries—including overtime compensation—impoundment, and boarding for unclaimed animals fall short of covering the actual operational expenses.
