Fulton County Commissioners rejected an effort Wednesday to restart animal control services in the City of Atlanta without an agreement between the two governments.

Fulton County ended those services Friday because of the lack of intergovernmental agreement, which has been the case since the beginning of the year.

Commissioner Marvin Arrington, Jr., led the effort to restart services without a finalized agreement, stating that the city had a letter of intent.
