 Judy Miller stated that sterilization of impounded animals is preferable. Susan Elmore noted <br />that the report proposes increasing the impoundment fee from $10 to $25 and also mentioned <br />that Buncombe County requires sterilization. Suzanne Roy suggested it would be helpful to <br />know the effect of practices in Buncombe County on intakes and euthanasia. Members of the <br />task force noted administrative difficulties of tracking a deposit and noted that a refund of fees <br />would not sufficiently incentivize sterilization, which costs more than the refund. Bob Marotto <br />suggested increasing the difference between fees for sterilized and non-sterilized animals to <br />$100 for third, fourth, and subsequent recoveries. <br /> Motion to postpone vote to November or January passed with Kris Bergstrand opposed. <br />(B) 2012 ASAB Work Plan <br /> Bob Marotto and members of the Board made suggestions for items to include and developed a <br />plan for drafting the plan prior to the next meeting. <br />(C) 2012 Officer Election Process (Chair, Vice-Chair, Secretary) <br /> Aviva Scully will contact other members to determine interest in Board positions in order to <br />provide a slate of candidates prior to Nov meeting if possible. <br /> <br />Meeting adjourned at: 9:30 PM <br />Name of Minute Taker: Michelle Walker
