Dr. Koki is currently serving in <br />the Animal Wellness/ Health Expert position. There has been some concern about whether Dr. <br />Koki is, indeed, an Orange County resident. <br />The Clerk's Office has contacted Dr. Koki through email and also with a certified letter in <br />reference to verification of her Orange County address and the certified letter was sent to the <br />Orange County address provided to staff on her volunteer application. Dr. Koki has been <br />asked to respond by April 23, 2007. <br />If Dr. Koki responds positively to the request of verification of her Orange County address, the <br />Board may consider moving her representation on the Animal Tethering Committee from <br />"Animal Wellness/Health Expert" to the "Advocate for Tethering" position. If Dr. Koki fails to <br />respond to our request, then the Orange County Commissioners may consider removing her <br />from the Animal Tethering Committee. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: None. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): Consider receiving information concerning the appointment of an Animal <br />Tethering Committee member. <br />
