Agenda Additions

1. Animal Services Advisory Board: Changes needed to properly codify the Animal Services Advisory Board to allow appointment of either a licensed veterinarian or a veterinary professional to serve on the seat that currently requires a licensed veterinarian.
– Pass 7-0, 6-1

Notes: This ordinance was walked on by Alderman Mark Kinion, who said the seat has been difficult to fill since the resignation of the most recent member. Rather than leaving the position open indefinitely, Kinion said it would be better to allow at least a veterinary professional to occupy the seat to ensure a full board.

The ordinance passed unanimously, but La Tour voted against the emergency clause that allows the law to go into effect immediately.
