Discussed if Friends can support new buildings for the animal shelter at the same site. Move the fence
back.
Jackie and Christy have received multiple pricing options.
(Jackie) Need new cages for cat adoption room. Last time was $6,000. Could use community room
instead and add wall to make 2 community rooms; use all glass for better light and viewing. Getting a
price to remove a solid wall and add 2 glass walls. Labor will be volunteered for installation.
5. Discussion about future growth needs at the shelter - C Hullum
(Rachel) 2 choices for master plan: 1) do it ourselves; 2) ask Council to approve funding for
professionals to develop plan. Need someone to put together a presentation with data to justify the
cost. General consensus is that a professional plan would make more sense.
Presentation ideas: (Chris will put together a draft of the presentation.)
• Current facility information
• Difficulties the shelter faces today.
• Statistics of animal numbers.
• Projections of future needs.
• Mention plan for multi-purpose room as a temporary solution.
(Rachel) Recommends the shelter have an inventory and develop a plan to include life expectancy of
equipment. Use this for planning current and future needs.
