2 <br /> <br />• Warren gives an update on the Unified Animal Ordinance hearing by the BOCC on Dec 15, 2015. The <br />Commissioners focused on minutia, declined to vote on it and gave a list of things they thought should be <br />changed to Annette; they will discuss it again tomorrow. Those in attendance gave their opinions on the <br />proceedings. Overall, the experience was quite negative. Susan expresses concerns about the Ordinance as <br />written, including changes to the Potentially Dangerous Dog Appeal Hearing process, and they are discussed. <br />We conclude that we shouldn’t ask for changes in the language tomorrow night. The number of people <br />from the townships needs to be larger than what’s currently stated, in order to accommodate flexibility of <br />scheduling. Bob suggests that this Board should communicate this poor experience to the BOCC; Michelle <br />suggests that it should be in writing. Bob highlights the need for this Board to keep an open and working <br />relationship with the BOCC. <br /> <br />(B) Homeless Pets Initiative <br />• Aviva gave a brief update on the initiative to help homeless Orange County resident owners and their pets. <br />Additional updates on the subject will take place on the February ASAB meeting. <br />(C) Animal Services Update <br />• Bob gives the Animal Services update. <br /> <br />Ongoing and Upcoming Events <br />(A) Low-Cost Rabies Clinics <br />(B) Spay/Neuter Day <br /> <br />Meeting adjourned at: 8:15 PM <br />Name of Minute Taker: Caroline Green
