Animal Services Advisory Board
February 20, 2014
1. Citizens comments – none
2. Approve minutes of January 2014 advisory board meeting – motion made by Mary Treuter,
seconded by Lyle Warden.
3. Review of shelter statistical data – had record % of dogs adopted – 36%, and dog EU was only
5.5%. Had even more amazing record percentage of cat adoptions of 49%. Achieved NO KILL
again this month - 10.4%. Record number of overall adoptions – 83 animals.
Discussed the success of 40 dogs in 40 days - attributed to a creative idea and the fact that the
TV media picked up the story.
Discussed Art for Animals, and what a successful event it was. Suggestion was made to maybe
have an MC next year – Rachel Jonrowe knows a person that might be interested and will get us
her name.
4. Talked about the need for a master plan and hiring a professional to come up with the plan so
Jackie does not have to guess and give us her opinion on what the future needs of the shelter
might be. The board might take this item directly to the Council themselves. More discussion
will take place next month. Also talked about desperately needing a multipurpose room as an
immediate need. A multipurpose room would give us the space we need for meetings
(volunteer, advisory board, and staff). A room could also be used for temperament testing dogs,
a meet and greet room for prospective adopters during inclement weather, and space to get
things ready for fundraising events.
Meeting adjourned at 6:55pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Jackie Carey
