Max Mixson seconded. Minutes approved Animal Services Statistics report - Jackie Carey presented the statistics for May and they were accepted by the Board Considering Utilization Metrics for the Shelter: Mike Simpson presented a new flow chart that can help us track animals, it displays the shelter capacity by each dog run and cat cage Retail pet sales ordinance: After our meeting with Paul Brandenburg, he presented it to the city council and the assessment was positive, particularly since no businesses will be impacted at this time; Laura Hobgood-Oster will continue to research and will bring the information to the July meeting; Laura will also send the information sheet we presented at the meeting with the city manager to Dr. Warden and to Jerry Hammerlun. Public Education Campaign: Max and Jackie reported on public education - right now one issue is heat in vehicles - calls are up reporting animals left in parked cars. General Discussion At beginning of the new year do we want to start reporting stats along the lines of the Asilomar Accords? This needs to be on the agenda for next month. Laura asked Jackie about the way that ACO calls are counted by the police department; they are probably being under-counted so Jackie will follow-up on this. Some New Topics for Public Education campaigns: emergency evacuation, what to do when you're out of town, is a possibility Next meeting is July 12 (second Tuesday rather than third Tuesday) - agenda needs to be posted by July 5. Meeting adjourned.
