| Our
meeting was called to order at 7:00P.M. At the new facility. The minutes
and attachments from the October meeting were read and reviewed
David
began by reviewing the agenda and stating that he thought things would be
toned down for the year 2002.
He said he was in the process of working with Carl Alexander about
our problem with our “funds” and hoped to have things straightened out
by this summer.
David advised the
board that Amy Aronson-Friedman had resigned effective 2/1/02. He told
Mimi to notify Vanessa Mincey to advertise the open position as soon as
possible. We also discussed that David Rice and Lee Bledsoe’s terms
would expire 2/1/02 and to advise Vanessa Mincey that the board recommends
they be renewed. We also welcomed Jeannine Smith as the Humane Society
Representative to replace Jan Casey.
Marcia handed out statistic sheets and we
reviewed them. She reported that all but two adopted animals had been
returned for the free spay/neuter clinics and those two had good reason
for not being returned yet. The board agreed that was exceptional and
complimented Marcia on her outstanding operation of the facility.
We discussed the joint rummage sale and set a tentative date of Saturday,
March 23rd from 8:00 A.M, TO 2:00 P.M. at the Humane Society.
Jeannine Smith said she had room at the Humane Society to take donations
we had already collected and they would take any drop offs during regular
business hours.
Tommy also showed us an article that he recently read about how Chicago
animal control is putting microchips in dogs that are labeled as dangerous
and vicious before being returned to the owner, at the owner’s expense,
so to better identify the animal if and when it came back to the Animal
control. The Board agreed this was an excellent idea and David made the
motion that we should put the recommendation before the Commissioners that
all dogs classified as potentially dangerous, dangerous, and/or vicious
should be microchiped at the owner’s expense before returning the
dog back to the owner. Lee Bledsoe seconded the motion. David said he
would write a letter to Gary Moore in this regard.
No one had anything
else for discussion and David set the next meeting
date for February 20, 2002 and the meeting was concluded.
