DISCUSSION ITEMS • Discussion regarding shelter events and status second and third quarter. (S. Patton, ASAB Board Member) Shelia Patton reports twelve sterilization transports for public access from Wylie Animal Control for residents to low cost animal care providers. Six low cost vaccination clinics held at the City of Wylie Animal Control during evening hours to provide residents access to low cost vaccinations, heartworm testing and preventative medication. Residents can comply with registration of pets as two staff members as well as veterinarian and vet assistant are on site. Five animals have been placed into foster care programs. Volunteers and service workers have logged 181 hours. Pet of the week twice monthly with Wylie News is ongoing. Sixty eight animals received services through the pre-adoption sterilization program. Staff have completed seven established tours. Thirty nine animals were adopted through this year's Clear the Shelter Event. We successfully cleared the facility of all adoptable animals. We look forward to next year's participation. Shelia Patton reports continued growth and acceptance from residence related to the Chameleon Software. The software utilizes approved data from the staff entered into the software program does social media posting automatically. This assists staff members by allowing direct communication from potential adopters without having to maintain or reply to other applications such as Facebook. Patton reports city registrations are now much more inclusive and descriptive. The software allows photos to be attached to registrations as well as microchip data. City registrations have email contact for staffing thereby increasing communication opportunities. Patton reports emergency preparedness is continuing through community awareness during registration and communication of staff face to face with citizens managing new complex/home areas. Patton reports that the budget request of kennel doors was approved by council and is in the bidding process for contract through finance. Staff members and chain of command are anticipating the potential positive aspect of future adopters to be able to view animals more freely and still decrease the spread of disease by preventing cross contamination. Minutes October 9,2019 Animal Shelter Advisory Board Page 2 Patton reports that looking at the future growth of the facility is a 2020 objective and feels it would be a good idea if the board would take a tour of the facility. It would be nice to receive feedback and suggestions from those serving to continue to improve the adoption, event staging, isolation, quarantine, staffing and holding areas within. Amber Porter advises she has been to the facility and has seen most areas but would like to participate in the ability to see all areas and share ideas or insight. Dr. Brad Abraham states that he has seen all areas of the facility but will be happy to participate. ADJOURNMENT Motion was made by Dr. Brad Abraham and seconded by Amber Porter to adjourn meeting. With no further business before the board, the consensus of the board was to adjourn at 6:27 pm.
