She is excited for the opportunity to work for and with the children in the community. She enjoys what the community has to offer and looks forward to giving back. Sharri Boyett, addressed the Council regarding the San Marcos Regional Animal Shelter. She expressed her appreciation for the extra funding, but reminded Council that the killing will not stop with the new budget additions alone. She passed out pictures to give the issue "a face". She provided information on the next steps needed and how a no kill resolution needs to be approved and adopted and regional goals need to be set for a 2020 program. She asked about the adoption trailer because it was granted months ago. The shelter lacks transparency and marketing to show the pets online. There must be a call for an increase in fostering animals and provide resources for those looking to surrender their animal. The shelter staff could do so much more and ciwo/san Marcos Paae 1
