TAMPA - Lowry Park Zoo leaders agreed today that the zoo's animals belong to Tampa and that a full accounting of the animals will be made to the city on a regular basis.

The leaders also agreed to put Mayor Pam Iorio's representative Santiago Corrada on the zoo's executive committee.

The new policies were agreed to during a meeting today between Iorio and Lex Salisbury, president and chief executive officer of the zoo; Fassil Gabremariam, chairman of the zoo board or directors; and Robert S. Merritt, a member of the board's executive committee.

Iorio asked for the changes after learning that zoo animals were being kept at Salisbury's private, for-profit attraction, Safari Wild.
