Chief Officer has asked for a meeting with me [we scheduled for the 19th at 2 P.M.], and really wants to work in partnership providing food to the animals in need throughout this county. her officers are on the road each day, and come in contact with people who could use the help. i promised her that the three people i plan to accompany me to the meeting will not be involving themselves in any of the past issues between the humane society and animal control facility. i made my intentions very clear - moving forward, mending fractured relations, and focusing on helping the animals. one of the people i invited to join me is a new board member for the humane society, and she has not any of the old troubled history between the HS and AC.

good news part two - the animal advisory board will consist of seven members- AC, HS, vet, community member, commissioner, attorney,
& law enforcement. these meetings will be Open to the public- yay ! and, the Chief Officer of animal control shall have no voting power.

i am happy today. thank you kimbo for your support during the process- and to everyone else who has followed, and cheered on my committee to bring the animal control in my county into the 21st century.

best,
belle
