19 <br />The ASAB supported and helped organize the department's annual Open House, <br />and as previously noted, hosted partner organizations. It also initiated a process <br />of reaching out to civic groups that might support the department in different <br />ways. <br />Also, the ASAB has supported the department's relatively high "live release rate" <br />of sheltered animals. The board collaborates with and stands ready to discuss <br />sheltering practices with citizens who may have questions or concerns. <br />Describe this board/commission's activities/accomplishments in carrying <br />out BOCC goal(s)/priorities, if applicable. <br />Work done by the ASAB in coordination with Animal Services staff touches <br />several principles and priorities. Three principles and priorities seem noteworthy <br />with respect to the ASAB in calendar year 2011. These are: <br />Budget Discipline and Core Services <br />• Supported strategic plan for managing pet overpopulation to control <br />medium and long-term costs. <br />• Concentrated on core services and continued to seek partnerships. <br />• Communicated budget constraints to others. <br />Supported departmental initiatives to increase revenues, such as the <br />department's move to online licensing and donation services. <br />Making County Government Accessible Understandable and Transparent <br />• Served as a sounding board for the BOCC on citizen concerns with animal <br />related policies. <br />• Worked with staff to communicate with the BOCC regarding citizen <br />concerns. <br />• Made recommendations to the BOCC regarding certain citizen concerns <br />as well as on candidates for BOCC vacancies. <br />Advisory Board Roles and Responsibilities <br />• Sustained ASAB and filled vacancies that occurred during "freeze." <br />• Acknowledged and adjusted to overall reductions in staff support, and <br />established rotating. responsibility for meeting summaries. <br />If your board/commission played the role of an Element Lead Advisory <br />Board involved in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan preparation process, <br />please indicate your board's activities/accomplishments as they may relate <br />to the Comprehensive Plan's goals or objectives. <br />(The Element Lead Advisory Boards include: Planning Board, EDC, <br />OUTBoard, Commission for the Environment, Historic Preservation <br />Commission, Agriculture Preservation Board, Affordable Housing Board, <br />Recreation and Parks Advisory Council) <br />
