Shelia Patton reports that the Animal Control Division participated in four adoption events to
include Blue Grass on Ballard June 27th, Smith Public Library July 7th and July 10th and Clear
the Shelter on August 15tn
Animal Control teamed with library for Fury Friends Month in the Month of May.
Thirteen sterilization transport services were offered from the shelter through Spay Neuter
Network for public use of personal pets.
Free sterilization, rabies shot and ear tip were offered to citizens during the month of April
through Spay Neuter Network Grant for outdoor wild animal felines. Residents were offered a
feral fix program for cats less than six months of age to include sterilization and rabies for
twenty dollars through Spay Neuter Network Grant during the months of May and June with
transportation from the animal shelter. Residents were offered a Cherish Your Chihuahua/mix to
include sterilization, rabies and nail trim for twenty dollars during the months of July and August
through Spay Neuter Network Grant with transportation from the animal shelter. Animal Control
officers visited areas within our city to distribute fliers pertaining to these programs.

Seven low cost vaccination clinics providing vaccinations, heart worm testing and other mobile
clinic services were offered at the shelter after operation hours to residents. One low cost
microchipping clinic was offered at the shelter.
There were eleven shelter group tours with question and answer participation for city youth.
Animal Control Officers visited Cox Elementary for an educational demonstration in May. Cox
was revisited in August to present the fourth grade gifted and talented class a framed event shirt
and card for their dedication to helping homeless animals. In July the youth enrichment
program through Wylie Police Department visited and assisted the animal shelter while learning
care and treatment of animals.
Agreements were obtained from nonprofit organizations for a total of five low cost sterilization
opportunities for the animals at the facility awaiting adoption. Forty two animals were assisted
through these programs.
Volunteers logged 215 hours of service for the months of April through September.
Animal control officers have answered 1869 calls for service in the field as of the end of third
quarter. The total number of calls for the entire year of 2014 was 1874. Patton reports that this
comparison shows that with three months remaining for the 2015 year Animal Control is likely to
be approximately twenty five percent over last year's numbers with the same staffing available.
As of third quarter end approximately five thousand three hundred and eight visitors have been
logged for walk in service per weekly reports.
Social media Facebook has been maintained. Animal Control participates with Wylie News to
highlight a Pet of the Week photo and story twice monthly in hopes of finding homes for
abandoned or unwanted animals at the facility awaiting adoption. The first ever Animal Control
Foster Program launched on October 11, 2015.
5. Discussion regarding set dates for next calendar year. (D. Dahl, ASAB Chair)
David Dahl is recommending a more even spread of meetings. Dahl has recommended the
dates as this will give newly appointed board members the opportunity to get all required
training done prior to the first meeting after selection. This schedule will allow time to call any
additional meetings or in case of a reschedule due to unforeseen circumstances will allow to
board to comply with the mandated three meetings per year. This schedule will also avoid any
major holidays or summer travel months for members and residents wishing to come to
meetings. Dahl has proposed meeting dates and the board has agreed that this should be set
dates for 2016. The scheduled meeting dates for the year of 2016 will be January 13th, May 11th
and September 14th
6. Discussion regarding updating of the City of Wylie Ordinance No. 2006-07 Section
4 (Number of Members/Qualified Appointment/Terms). (D. Dahl, ASAB Chair)
Dahl has made recommendation to address and discuss modification of verbiage specifically
relating to one county of municipal official and one person whose duties include the daily
operation of an animal shelter. Dahl recommends that the ordinance be specific to one member
of city council of City of Wylie and one person whose duties include the daily operation of the
animal shelter of the City of Wylie. The board agrees that this needs to be clearly defined for
qualified appointments. Patton will take care of all necessary steps to bring these changes to
city council as an ordinance amendment. Kerin agrees that the verbiage needs to be defined.
Dahl states that the current ordinance establishes appointment by city council as a one year
term. The ASAB meets there times yearly and with one year terms it would be more beneficial
to the board and members to serve two year terms. This would give a member the opportunity
to be seated at the minimum of six meetings. The board members agree and Patton will take
care of all necessary steps to bring these changes to city council as an ordinance amendment.

Dahl has stated that the board currently reports to council only once yearly. He recommends
that for more consistent reports of activities the board should submit to council board minutes,
copies of inspections performed and statistical reports of shelter operations that have been
considered and approved by the board. Dr. Kerin believes this would be a good way to keep
council apprised of happenings. Patton states this will keep council updated more efficiently as
animal control is very active.
ADJOURNMENT
Motion was made by Dr. Chuck Kerin and seconded by Shelia Patton to adjourn meeting. With
no further business before the board, consensus of the board was to adjourn at 7:09 pm.
