These <br />recommendations are: <br />Andy Uhl for the Animal Handler position: Mr. Uhl is recommended given his <br />certification as a canine trainer (police and pet), experience and involvement with <br />rescue and foster programs. <br />o~.ph~ <br />Lade Lumpkin for the at large, non-municipal position: Ms. Lumpkin is <br />recommended on the basis of her commitment to the welfare of the community <br />and the welfare of the animals, her position as a member of the Human Rights <br />and Relations Board, her professional experience as an executive, and her love of <br />animals. <br />These recommendations are made on the basis of discussion with interested applicants <br />at the October meeting of the ASAB. All current applicants were invited and six <br />attended. Those in attendance were Andy Uhl, Melissa Marsh, Lori Shapiro, Lisa <br />Woolman and Pam Wilson. One other applicant (Suzy Armstrong) was unable to attend <br />this meeting but expects to be able to attend the November meeting of the ASAB. The <br />ASAB expressed appreciation to all of the applicants who attended the October <br />meeting. It was also mentioned that additional vacancies are expected in 2011. <br />In fhe coming months, the ASAB is planning to make additional recommendations for <br />the other two vacant positions (at large, and animal welfare representative). The ASAB <br />elected to wait to make these recommendations until after its November meeting and <br />staff requested discussion with at least one animal welfare organization. <br />I trust that this is sufficient to "trigger" BOCC consideration of these recommendations <br />but please lef me know if you need anything further. Also, please confirm that we have <br />no new applicants whose applications are not yet posted on the Intranet. <br />Bob Marotto <br />Animal Services Director <br />Orange County Animal Services <br />919-968-2287 <br />Remember to Vote November 2 <br />Orange County Referendum on <br />10/21/2010 <br />
