CLEVELAND, Tenn. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals of Bradley County has lost its second county-appointed representative in four months.
In a recent meeting, Commissioner Mark Hall announced his resignation from the nonprofit organization, which provides animal sheltering service for Bradley County in accordance with an $80,000 annual agreement.
“In the interest of transparency, I think those who serve on the SPCA board should believe that SPCA is the answer,” said Hall. “I would not be one of those.”
His resignation follows that of Commissioner Charlotte Peak, who resigned in the middle of the SPCA’s Aug. 18 meeting after shelter director Bobbi Anderson was fired by a divided board, who cited allegations of insubordination.
The SPCA board of directors is supposed to have two county-appointed representatives. It now has none.
