<br /> <br />Topic B – 2012 Meeting Schedule: Corrected version of schedule was distributed. <br /> <br />Topic C - Volunteer Program Review: Program Coordinator Sarah Fallin presented a detailed review of <br />activities. She reported that more than 11,000 volunteer hours are logged annually (the equivalent of 6 <br />FTE employees). Management of this stretched Sarah to the limit as other staff are not available to <br />manage this program of specific volunteer projects. The point was also made that, at times, volunteers <br />can create more work for the staff than they contribute and that this is counter-productive. <br /> <br />Topic D- Animal Services Advisory Board Work Plan: B. Marotto presented ASAB work plan, which had <br />been reviewed previously by the Chair and Vice Chair. A motion was made and approved to accept the <br />Work Plan document with addition of extra text related to Cat Sheltering <br /> <br />Topic E- Concerns: <br />• Noise component of public nuisance ordinance, K. Bergstrand described recent communications <br />from concerned citizen related to rooster crowing. Will discuss this further at January meeting, <br />hopefully with the department’s staff attorney and the concerned citizen present. <br />• Surrender Policy- There was a brief discussion between Mike Stewart and staff about surrender <br />of animals not belonging to person surrendering. <br />• Partner Profile for Jan 2012 Meeting- ASAB unanimously approved invitation for AnimalKind to <br />present at Jan 2012 meeting. <br /> <br /> <br />Meeting adjourned at: 8:30 p.m. <br />Name of Minute Taker Kris Bergstrand <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
