WS1. Discussion to add two additional board members to Animal Shelter Advisory Board and
provide a recommendation to council.

legal purpose of the board to comply with the health and safety code. The addition will help give
ideas toward upcoming possible items for discussion.
Jeff Forrester has two questions. Will the additional positions be voting members? Will there be
any requirements such as in the current health and safety code?
Matt Miller confirmed the only requirement would be that the member is a citizen of the City of
Wylie. The positions will be voting positions.
Amber Porter questions when the positions would be added. Matt Miller states the addition
would possibly be done this month.
Amber Porter expressed concern that the addition now would cause a complete roll of all
member's terms of the board. Matt Miller states that is a concern as all terms will expire, and all
members will roll off the board during the same term.
Jeff Forrester inquires what the recommendation is for staggering vacancies of the board.
Shelia Patton makes a recommendation to wait until next year's session of the election
committee. This will stagger the board member positions. This will make the placement of
members more public, as it will be done when other city boards are being filled. However, the
board does need to address current bylaws and establish operation procedures of the board to
meet current needs. These will address ordinance changes and requirements of the current
board.
Brad Forrester,Amber Porter, Susan Cranford, and Dr. Brad Abraham agree with adding
additional members for quorum purposes and a more diverse group of input but recommend
waiting to add the members until next term.
ADJOURNMENT
Motion was made by Dr. Brad Abraham and seconded by Amber Porter to adjourn the meeting.
With no further business before the board, the board's consensus was to adjourn at 6:28 pm.
