Discuss the progress related to facility renovation. Shelia Patton stated that we are operational. Our cattery, volunteer, and community service programs are back open. We are in the process of reorganizing the items that were in storage during the renovation. We have had three tours of the facility for WISD students. She also stated that we will get with Susan Cranford about taking photos or videos of the completed renovation because most of the renovated areas are not public access areas, such as the quarantine room. Shelia thinks we should schedule a tour for the board. Shelia asked the board where do we go from here. She stated that the renovation just gets us to where we needed to be, but the shelter is still too small, and we need a bigger facility. Shelia would like the board's advice on how to move forward. Amber Porter stated that we could get started in 2026 after the elections. Shelia Patton stated that she wants to start the process of getting a bond for a new shelter. She does have a presentation for the city council, but she wants to talk with Renae Ollie about either showing the presentation to the board first or the council. Amber Porter stated that we need to provide animal services with the resources and facilities they need to do their job. Everyone who has seen the shelter knows that it is too small for the size of the city. She knows that the renovation was a band-aid, and she agrees that we need to move forward with getting a new shelter. ADJOURNMENT Motion was made by Laurie Black and seconded by Shelia Patton to adjourn the meeting. With no further business before the board, the board's consensus was to adjourn at 6:48 p.m. ______________________________ ASAB Chair ATTEST: ______________________________ Shelia Patton, ASAB member Minutes May 14, 2025 Animal Shelter Advisory Board Page 2 7 08/13/2025 Item 3.

Discussion The statistical information report consists of three data groups within the specified reportable timeframe: impounded animals, disposition method of animals, and euthanasia reasons. Four columns within data groups reflect three species: dogs, cats, and others. The fourth column, the total, includes the sum of all species. The TNR program report reflects services performed by WAS through caretaker requests during the specified report timeframe. The provided TNR district map depicts all animals WAS serviced through caretaker requests during this program's inception in September 2022. District numbers are adjusted quarterly to reflect feral felines completing the TNR program vetting requirements through WAS and returned to the caretaker, as well as reports from caretakers of deceased feral felines who have completed the TNR program through WAS. 8 08/13/2025 Item 4.
