DA: Investigation against Frazier ongoing

The criminal case involving former Boulder City Animal Control supervisor Mary Jo Frazier is in a holding pattern as the district attorney's office investigates the matter further.

Additional investigation is required after the case was sent to District Attorney Steven Wolfson's office by Boulder City Police Department, according to Wolfson.

"This is a case that is receiving a significant amount of priority in the office here," he said. "It does require a lot more investigation, and it all depends on how long it takes for us to accomplish the various items of investigation."

Wolfson said that now that the holidays are over they will be proceeding to move this case forward. He said he is considering charging Frazier with needlessly killing dozens of animals, including 91 animals in the last year alone.

Boulder City Police Department requested Frazier be charged with 37 felony counts of animal cruelty.

Sound decisions keep Boulder City costs down

Boulder City residents occasionally ask how the city is able to have one of the lowest property tax rates in the state, and still provide needed functions such as police, fire, and public parks. In addition to land leases that provide 35% of our general fund budget, we also look at ways to keep costs down. As the city’s Purchasing, Grants and Risk manager for the last eight years, I have seen the city make decisions that keep us lean.
