David Lewis had researched and found web site opportunities such as "good search" that could
bring additional revenue into the animal shelter for items not covered by the budget. Shelia
Patton would like to research to find out if donations such as this would go directly to the animal
shelter or placed into the city general fund. The budget covers all necessary items needed for
the proper care of the facility and animals. This type of donation money would be used for
"extra" items not covered as necessities for the adoptable pets at the shelter.
Shelia Patton also reports that there is an eagle scout working on a proposal to build additional
extras in the current play yard area. These items would include such things as the sails for
shade, sitting area and possibly a foundation of some type for wet weather. Patton feels that it
would be in the best interest of the facility to await the outcome of the proposal before
purchasing the shade sails for the facility.
ADJOURNMENT
With no further business before the board, consensus of the board was to adjourn at 7:30 pm.
