DISCUSSION ITEMS
• Discussion regarding shelter events and status fourth quarter. (S. Patton,
ASAB Board Member)
Shelia Patton reports six sterilization transports for public access from Wylie Animal Control for
residents to low cost animal care providers. Three 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. Volunteers and
service workers have logged 181 hours. Pet of the week twice monthly with Wylie News is
ongoing. Sixty animals received services through the pre-adoption sterilization program.
Thirteen additional vet visits for sick or injured animals have taken place. Staff have completed
four established tours.
Veterinarian inspection was good in all areas. This item was not added to the agenda items.
Patton reports the approved kennel door project is in the finance department stages of contract
agreements and hopes to be able to update progress at the next meeting.
Patton reports that looking at the future growth of the facility is still a 2020 objective. We are
entering the time to request an expanded level of services for budgeting purposes. It has been
suggested that a video live feed system for adopters to have a less intrusive and better
experience during visits would be a good idea. The system would assist with safety to observe
from a safe distance visitors, check for escaped animals from areas and assist to ensure
followance of health and safety code guidelines and requirements.

The consensus of the board and feedback has been to suggest that the board chair submit a
letter to council supporting the live feed video and further elaborate on the benefits to staff,
visitors and facility operations.

no further business before the board, the consensus of the board was to adjourn at 6:49 pm.
