City Council Meeting Minutes January 4, 2022 <br />23. Hold discussion regarding the consideration of the creation of a Council Committee for the <br />Animal Shelter, discussion on the mission of this committee, and provide direction to the City <br />Manager. <br />Mayor Hughson noted she would like to change the word from "Shelter" to <br />"Services". She does not want to manage the shelter but the goal is to have <br />ways to educate and engage the community regarding animal services. This <br />includes working with animal advocates that provide support to the animal <br />shelter and helps with promoting adoptions and fosters. She would like to <br />work with the regional partners to ensure more advertising and adoption <br />events in the other area cities. <br />Mr. Lumbreras stated on the policy level a decision from council and city staff <br />is do we continue being a regional partner with the other governing bodies, he <br />noted there is discussion on conducting a study from Hays County. He is <br />suggesting that the council committee interact with other policy makers that <br />would benefit all groups. We are operating the only facility and shouldn't leave <br />the other partners that have an interest. Mayor Hughson mentioned the study <br />is underway but not concluded at this time. <br />Mayor Pro Tem Garza would like a status update on the study before the next <br />discussion. <br />Council Member Baker would like for the committee to receive public input <br />during committee meetings. <br />Council concurred to place this item on a future agenda for appointments to <br />the council committee. <br />EXECUTIVE SESSION <br />24.
