<br />Animal Services Advisory Board <br />August 19, 2009 Meeting--Approved Minutes Page 4 <br /> <br />Tethering Update—Bob Marotto briefly updated the Board with two handouts; one was a memo <br />to Frank Clifton, Interim County Manager, from Bob Marotto giving an update on tethering and <br />the other was informational material on the animal ordinance that the Board previously adopted <br />and will come into effect on November 19, 2009. Implementation of the new ordinance and <br />guidelines has been underway since November 2008 with the Animal Services staff. <br /> <br />July and August 2009 Placement Plan—Jess Allison gave an overview of the Animal Placement <br />Plan with handouts provided to the Board members. <br /> <br />Informal Discussion— <br /> <br />Bob Marotto recommended to the Board that we not have a Grand Opening this year since the <br />facility is not fully operative yet. He recommended that, as an alternative, we have an Inaugural <br />Open House in the spring and try to hold them annually. It was suggested that we possibly <br />incorporate something with the annual Animal Services Home for the Holidays. <br /> <br />Motion was made by Daniel Textoris and seconded by Suzanne Roy to adjourn the meeting at <br />8:30 p.m. VOTE: Unanimous. <br /> <br />Next ASAB Meeting: Wednesday, September 16, 2009, at 6:30 p.m. in the Multipurpose <br />Conference Room at the Animal Services Center, 1601 Eubanks Road, Chapel Hill. <br /> <br />
