[1. Discussion and possible action on electing an Animal Services Advisory Committee Chair.]

[00:00:10]

YOU CAN DO IT. GO UP. WHAT AM I DOING? YOU JUST GOT TO GO THROUGH THE AGENDA.

[2. Discussion and possible action on electing an Animal Services Advisory Committee Vice Chair.]

NO, WE CAN NOMINATE.

[INAUDIBLE] I DON'T MAKE. SECOND.

JANEY SECONDS.

OH, OKAY. FOR AS.

PUBLIC COMMENT.

[3. Public Comments – Limited to 3 minutes per person.]

[4. Discussion on the remodel at the Animal Shelter.]

WE HAVE STARTED THE MODEL OF THE ANIMAL SHELTER WE'RE GOING TO.

[INAUDIBLE] TIME TO GIVE US A DIFFERENT SIGN.

SO IT'S LIKE A [NOISE] SIGN.

SO. AND THEN ON THE INSIDE, WE ARE TAKING ALL THE DESKS OUT AND BUILDING A COUNTER KIND OF SIMILAR TO WHAT'S LIKE AT DR.

BECKER'S OFFICE IF ANYBODY'S BEEN IN THERE.

NO. IT'S GOING TO BE KIND OF SIMILAR TO THAT, BUT IT'S GOING TO COME AND GO DOWN ONE SIDE OF IT, AND THEN WE'RE PUTTING WINDOWS IN EACH OF THE CAT ROOMS SO THAT YOU CAN SEE THE CATS FROM THE LOBBY.

SO IT'LL KIND OF OPEN THAT UP AND WE'RE GOING TO PUT A BIG WINDOW ON THE BACK WALL BY THAT DOOR SO THAT YOU CAN SEE OUT INTO THE KENNEL AREA. SO THAT'S OUR PLANS FOR THAT.

SO FAR WE ARE WORKING ON GETTING SOME STUFF DONATED FROM DIFFERENT BUSINESSES.

WE HAVE ONE THAT'S AGREED TO DONATE SOME OF THE STONES FOR THE FRONT.

WE'RE LOOKING AT PROBABLY [NOISE] THE FRONT IS WHAT THEY'RE KIND OF LOOKING AT IN A DARKER STONE.

THAT WAY IT WON'T LOOK DIRTY BECAUSE THE PARKING LOTS RIGHT THERE.

WE'VE TAKEN OUT THE THE PLANTERS IN THE FRONT AND ONE OF OUR CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS IS GOING TO HAVE THE BOY SCOUTS COME IN LANDSCAPE.

SO WE'RE WORKING ON GETTING SOME THINGS DONE OVER THERE.

WE WERE HOPING FOR A NEW SHELTER, BUT THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE [NOISE] JUST THE WINDOWS INTO THE INSIDE OF [NOISE].

WE HAVEN'T GONE TO THE FURNITURE YET.

THEY CAME IN TODAY AND [NOISE].

DO THAT SO THEY COULD DO THE [NOISE].

THERE WON'T BE ANY DESK.

WE'LL PROBABLY NEED SOME CHAIRS OR SOME [NOISE].

SO THE PUBLIC HAS SAID IT.

AND THEN WE'RE ALSO [NOISE].

THEY ALL WANT TO COME INSIDE AND DO ONE OF THE WALLS.

LIKE KIND OF LIKE WHERE YOU CAN TAKE PICTURES IF THEY ADOPT SO SHE WANTS TO DO A MURAL FOR THAT, WHICH WILL PROBABLY BE ON THAT FRONT WALL.

WHY DID YOU COME IN THE DOOR TO [NOISE] WILL THERE WILL BE THAT [NOISE].

SO I THINK [NOISE] WE'RE WORKING AT GETTING IT BETTER.

I MAY BE ABLE TO GET YOU SOME CHAIRS IN THE LOBBY AS THE CREDIT UNION SHUT DOWN SOME OF OUR SATELLITE LOCATIONS.

SO WE HAVE SOME CHAIRS.

NOT THIS KIND OF CHAIRS, BUT WITH ARMS ON TO PUT IN FRONT OF THE DESK FOR VISITORS TO SIT IN.

THAT'D BE AWESOME. AND I CAN GET THEIR NICE CHAIRS IN GREAT SHAPE AND STUFF.

SO IF I CAN GET SOME OF THOSE, HOW MANY WOULD YOU NEED? ONLY THE LOBBY'S NOT GOING TO BE THAT BIG.

I THINK THEY'D BE LIKE FIVE CHAIRS.

THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING ABOUT FIVE OF THEM WOULD PROBABLY BE GOOD.

OKAY, I'LL SEE WHAT I CAN GET.

AND I CAN I CAN PUT THEM IN MY TRUCK AND BRING THEM.

RIGHT NOW. SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING OVER THERE.

[00:05:04]

AND IF THERE IS A BARRIER, THEN THEY'RE GOING TO STAIN THE FLOORS LIKE YOURS.

IF THERE'S NOT A BARRIER, THEY CAN'T SUSTAIN IT.

AND SO THEY'LL HAVE TO GO BACK IN WITH SOME TYPE OF TILE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

BUT HE WON'T KNOW THAT UNTIL AFTER HE PULLS THE TILE UP.

IF THERE'S NOT A BARRIER, WHY CAN'T HE IN IT JUST BECAUSE? OKAY. SO.

FOR. RIGHT.

BECAUSE WHEN YOU DEAL WITH TILE YOU GOT TO WORRY ABOUT THE GROUT AND ALL THAT.

YEAH. BUT WE ARE LOOKING AT A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT THINGS.

WE HAVE TO DO A LITTLE AT A TIME BECAUSE WE DON'T THERE'S NOT MONEY IN THE BUDGET FOR IT.

WE JUST HAVE TO DO IT ON DONATIONS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

ANY MORE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE REMODEL? I JUST HAVE TO BE LIKE THE LOBBY AREAS IN THE BACK OF THE SHELTER THERE, STARTING WITH THE LOBBY AND THE FRONT.

AND THEN AS YOU CAN SEE, THEIR IDEA OF THE BACK IS TO SINCE WE ONLY HAVE THREE STAFF, IT'S REALLY HARD. LIKE TODAY, FOR MOST OF THE DAY IT WAS JUST ME AND MACY.

SO WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT A WAY ALSO TO PUT LIKE A PLAY AREA SO THEY COME TO MEET A DOG OR WHATEVER.

WE HAVE AN AREA FOR THEM TO PLAY AND THEN PUT SOME TYPE OF BARRIER.

[NOISE] DOGS AND WHERE THE PEOPLE ARE TOLD THEY CAN'T STICK THE HANDS.

SO IT WON'T PULL US AWAY FROM WHAT WE'RE DOING TO ESCORT PEOPLE AROUND MUCH.

BECAUSE THAT, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TWO OR THREE PEOPLE IN THERE.

IT TAKES ALL OF US. I JUST SAY, Y'ALL GO AHEAD.

BECAUSE IF THEY PUT THEIR FINGERS IN AND GET BIT, THAT WOULD [INAUDIBLE] YEAH.

SO, SO WE ARE LOOKING AT DOING SOME STUFF IN THE BACK.

IT'S JUST GOING TO TAKE TIME.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

STAFF REPORTS.

[5. Staff Report from Animal Services.]

I'M HAPPY TO SAY THAT WE, UNLIKE A LOT OF SHELTERS, HAVE NOT HAD TO PUT ANYTHING DOWN FOR SPACE. IT LOOKS LIKE WE PUT QUITE A FEW DOWN.

BUT YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER, THOSE ARE BITE CASES, MEDICAL CASES, BEHAVIOR CASES.

WE'VE HAD SOME OWNER REQUESTS PUTTING THEIR ANIMALS DOWN BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T AFFORD HEY, I DON'T [INAUDIBLE] YOU'RE FINE, I DON'T CHARGE.

NO. SO WHAT? [LAUGHTER] SO IT'S ALL OF THOSE THINGS THAT COMING TOGETHER FOR THAT, WE'RE STILL CONSIDERED A NO KILL, BECAUSE NONE OF THOSE THINGS COUNT AGAINST OUR NO KILL.

BUT WE HAVEN'T PUT ANYTHING DOWN FOR SPACE.

WE'VE HAD TIMES WHERE WE'VE HAD TO PUT THEM OUTSIDE BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY ROOM INSIDE.

BUT USUALLY A LOT OF THE RESCUES OFF COAST DOES.

THREE LITTLE PITTIES HAVE BEEN PULLING SOME MISFIT MUTTS AND THEY'VE BEEN PULLING A LOT.

THROW A DOG A BONE AND FREEDOM STREET HAVE ALL.

WHEN WE GET AT A REALLY CRITICAL POINT, I CAN CALL ONE OF THEM AND THEY USUALLY WILL COME AND TAKE ONE OR TWO DOGS SO THAT WE HAVE A LITTLE BREATHING ROOM.

BUT AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE RESCUES, WE'VE SENT OUT 153 DOGS TO RESCUE SO FAR THIS YEAR AND 152 CATS.

WE HAVE PARTNERED WITH HOUSTON PET SET WHICH HAS DONE AMAZING FOR US.

THEY'VE GOTTEN US IN WITH A GROUP CALLED WOOLY KITTEN CLUB.

WHO HAS PROBABLY TAKEN 40 OR 50 OF OUR CATS IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS.

AND ALSO HOUSTON PET SET IS WORKING WITH US ON SPAY AND NEUTERING.

SOME OF THE ANIMALS THAT GET ADOPTED WITH PEOPLE CAN'T REALLY AFFORD IT.

THEY'VE BEEN THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE SETTING UP THEIR ACCOUNT AT YOUR PLACE, AND THEN THEY'VE SET UP AN ACCOUNT AT THE SPCA, LOW COST.

SO IF WE ADOPT ONE OUT, WE CAN CONTACT THEM AND THEN THEY PAY FOR THE SPAY AND NEUTER AND THE RABIES SHOT.

[00:10:03]

THAT'S HELPED US A LOT.

WE ALSO HAVE BEEN GETTING DONATIONS FOR SPAY AND NEUTER THROUGH OUR DONATION FUNDS.

WE'VE USED A LOT OF THAT WITH DR.

BECKER AND SOME AT THE SPCA.

SHE'S SLID SOME IN FOR US.

SO WE'RE VERY THANKFUL FOR THAT.

IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS, I CAN ANSWER SOME.

WE'VE BEEN TURNING OWNER SURRENDERS AWAY BECAUSE WE JUST HAVEN'T HAD THE SPACE TO DO THAT.

MY CONCERN WITH THAT IS THAT IF WE TURN THEM AWAY, THEY'RE GOING TO GO DUMP THEM SOMEWHERE.

YEAH.

BUT OUR SHELTER HAS BEEN FULL FOR THE PAST THREE OR FOUR MONTHS IS BURSTING AT THE SEAMS. WE'VE STARTED DOING AT LEAST ONE, SOMETIMES TWO ADOPTION EVENTS A MONTH.

IT'S REALLY HARD WITH NO VOLUNTEERS.

PEOPLE WILL COME IN AND SIGN UP TO VOLUNTEER, BUT THEN THEY DON'T SHOW UP.

AND I HAVE A GREAT STAFF, BUT THEY GET BURNED OUT.

OH, YEAH. YOU KNOW, BECAUSE WE'RE WORKING FIVE DAYS A WEEK AND THEN WE'RE DOING ADOPTION EVENTS PLUS CLEANING AND FEEDING ON THE WEEKENDS, AND IT'S JUST WEARING THEM OUT.

MM HMM. SO IF ANYBODY HAS ANY IDEAS ABOUT THAT, THAT'S LIKE THIS WEEKEND, MACY AND BRANDON ARE GOING TO HELP ME WITH THE EVENT AND J.C.

IS GOING TO BE AT THE SHELTER CLEANING AND FEEDING.

SO. THIS WEEKEND, ALL OF OUR STAFF WILL BE WORKING TWO WEEKS STRAIGHT.

OH, REALLY? SO. BUT THE CITY DID US WELL IN OUR BUDGET AGAIN, YOU KNOW, SO MANY OF THE THINGS WERE TAKEN OUT OF THE BUDGET BECAUSE IT WAS OVER.

BUT WE APPRECIATE THE CITY COUNCIL.

THEY'VE COME THROUGH FOR US, SO.

IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS, MAYBE I CAN ANSWER THEM.

WE DID DO A CONTRACT AGAIN WITH THE RICHWOOD.

WE COVER RICHWOOD, WE PICK UP THEIR ANIMALS.

WE DON'T TRAP FOR THEM OR DO ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

THEY RAISE THAT CONTRACT WITH THEM FROM 15,000 TO 40,000.

SO THAT HELPED WITH OUR BUDGET SOME.

COST SO. NOW, I KNOW YOU SAID YOU'VE TURNED AWAY OWNER SURRENDERS, BUT DO WE DO WE JUST TAKE THEM FROM ANGLETON RESIDENTS OR DO YOU TAKE THEM FROM ANYBODY IF YOU HAVE THE ROOM? IF WE HAVE THE ROOM AND IT'S LIKE AN ELDERLY PERSON THAT'S HAD A STROKE OR SOMETHING I'LL MAKE AN EXCEPTION TO THAT.

BUT USUALLY IT'S ONLY THE CITY OF ANGLETON'S PEOPLE.

OKAY. WE GET CALLS FROM THE PEARLAND AREA ALL THE WAY DOWN TO [INAUDIBLE] OF PEOPLE TRYING TO SURRENDER THEIR DOGS.

EVEN IN BAY CITY, A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL BE LIKE, OH YES, GOOD EGGS AND [INAUDIBLE] FRIED.

SO, YOU KNOW, WE GET WE GET QUITE A FEW FROM [NOISE] TOO.

AND BECAUSE THE SPCA IS NOT TAKING OWNER SURRENDERS THEY'RE MAKING APPOINTMENTS TO THE TWO WEEKS TO TWO MONTHS OUT OF.

WELL, YOU CAN CHECK BACK HERE AND MAKE AN APPOINTMENT BUT IT'S GOTTEN I MEAN, I GUESS WITH EVERYBODY GOING BACK TO WORK AND STUFF, IT'S LIKE THEY DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THEIR ANIMALS.

WHICH KEEP MY MOUTH SHUT ON THAT.

WE'RE RIGHT THERE WITH YOU. SO WE'RE SEEING MORE AND MORE OF THAT.

BUT LIKE I SAID, OUR SHELTER HAS BEEN FULL FOR THE LAST THREE MONTHS AT LEAST.

WE'LL GET A FEW KENNELS OPEN, BUT THEN JUST AS SOON AS WE GET THEM OPEN ANOTHER DOG GOES RIGHT BACK IN.

SO DOES RICHWOOD GET TO SURRENDER [INAUDIBLE] TO US TOO OR.

HOW DOES THAT WORK? WE'RE VERY PICKY.

I MEAN, IT'S NOT IN OUR CONTRACT THAT WE DO OWNER SURRENDERS.

YEAH, BUT LIKE I SAID, IF THERE'S CIRCUMSTANCES THAT, YOU KNOW, IF IT'S AN ELDERLY PERSON OR SOMETHING, I'M NOT GOING TO TURN THEM AWAY JUST BECAUSE THEY'VE GOTTEN OLD AND CAN'T HANDLE THEIR ANIMAL ANYMORE.

YES. SPEAKING FOR THAT.

THANK YOU. ANYTHING ELSE? ONE OTHER THING WE ARE GOING TO DO IS AND IF YOU WANT TO VOLUNTEER, THAT WOULD BE AWESOME.

[00:15:05]

THEY'VE ASKED TO COME BACK AGAIN THIS YEAR.

WHEN ARE THEY DOING IT? NOVEMBER THE SEVENTH.

IT'S NOT WE'RE NOT SHARING IT WITH ANOTHER RESCUE THIS YEAR.

IT'S JUST US THEY SAID THEY HAD SO MUCH FUN WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THE EMS AND EVERYBODY COMING AND SUPPORTING US. SO THEY ASKED IF THEY COULD COME BACK.

SO WE RAISED ABOUT $4,000 LAST YEAR WHEN THEY CAME.

SO. I'M OFF THAT DAY.

JUST GOT AN APPOINTMENT WITH REMI TO GET HER NAILS DID.

ARE YOU GONNA PUT THAT ON FACEBOOK? YES. AND WHAT HAPPENS IS THEY GET ACCESS TO OUR FACEBOOK FOR THAT PERIOD OF TIME AND THEY ACTUALLY POST STUFF CONSTANTLY ON IT.

AND THEN WE ALSO POST STUFF ON IT.

OKAY. I'M GOING TO GET THE CITY TO POST ON THE CITY PAGE ALSO.

I'LL SHARE IT ON SO THEY SHOULD BE THEY SENT ME ALL THE PAPERWORK TODAY, SO.

WHAT EXACTLY IS THAT? IT'S AN ORGANIZATION THAT COMES AROUND AND RAISES MONEY FOR SHELTERS AND RESCUES.

THEY SPLIT THE MONEY.

WHATEVER'S RAISED 25%, THEY GET 75% WE GET.

SO WHAT I MEAN, WHAT HAPPENS DURING THIS? HE HAS A LOT OF FACEBOOK AND HE STAYS LIVE FOR FROM 10 TO 1, FROM 10 TO 1.

HE'S CONSTANTLY LAST YEAR, MARISSA, YOU CAN SAY A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED.

YOU GET PIES IN YOUR FACE.

YOU GET PIES THROWN IN YOUR FACE. YOU GET THROWN IN KENNELS, TRY TO RAISE MONEY TO GET YOU OUT.

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

I THINK GULF COAST AUTO PART, THEY DONATED.

YEAH, PROBABLY 2 OR 3 THOUSAND DOLLARS SO I'M NOT GETTING A PIE TO THE FACE.

SO I'VE SAID IT.

SO THAT'S COMING UP NOVEMBER THE 7TH.

WE'LL, NOMINATE BRENDA FOR A PIE.

OH, I GOT A PIE LAST YEAR.

I REMEMBER. COST THEM $500.

BUT HEY. [LAUGHTER] SO ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR.

THAT'S WHAT WE'VE GOT COMING UP HERE NOVEMBER 7TH, RIGHT? YES, MA'AM. 10 TO 1.

THEY'RE DOING 40 SHELTERS IN 40 DAYS IN TEXAS.

WOW. THIS IS GOING TO BE WHERE? AT THE SHELTER. AT THE SHELTER.

LAST YEAR WE HAD LIKE HOT DOGS AND STUFF LIKE THAT THAT WE HAD FOR EVERYBODY THAT WAS COMING IN AND OUT.

OKAY, I CAN MAKE IT [NOISE] WE HAVE SOME GOOD THINGS COMING UP.

SO I TRY TO DO MORE AND MORE.

SO YEAH.

BUT LIKE I SAID, WE NEED BOTH.

[NOISE] [INAUDIBLE] THE ONES THAT USED TO GO.

MISSIONARIES. YEAH. THEY USED TO COME EVERY FRIDAY, BUT THEY STOPPED.

THEIR SCHEDULE CHANGED WITH THE CHURCH.

[NOISE] THE PROBLEM. AND I THINK ONE OF THE PROBLEMS IS THAT THEY LIKE TO DO IT ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.

I DON'T HAVE A STAFF THAT CAN STAY UP THERE.

RIGHT. DO, LIKE THE ASHLEY'S CHURCH CAME TO GET SOME STUFF.

AND WE MADE ARRANGEMENTS THEY SPRAY WASHED OUT THE WHOLE THING AND STUFF LIKE THAT AWHILE BACK.

SO IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT I CAN SCHEDULE WITH SOMEBODY AND MAKE THOSE ARRANGEMENTS TO HAVE SOMEBODY UP THERE.

BUT YEAH, THEY MOSTLY WANT TO DO IT ON SATURDAYS.

THAT MAKES SENSE BECAUSE PEOPLE OR PARENTS ARE WORKING DURING THE WEEK RIGHT. SO WE DO HAVE THE DOGS DAY OUT.

BUT THAT [NOISE] AT FIRST.

BUT NOW IT'S KIND OF SLACKED OFF, I GUESS.

YOU CAN COME IN AND TAKE A DOG OUT FOR A DAY.

I HAD SOMEBODY COME IN WITH A LOT OF APPLICATIONS.

SO VETERANS DAY IS COMING UP, WHICH IS A HOLIDAY WOULD THE SHELTER BE CLOSED ON THAT DAY BECAUSE THAT'S A CITY HOLIDAY.

[00:20:06]

BUT THEN IT MEANS Y'ALL WOULD HAVE TO WORK TO CHECK BECAUSE WHAT I'VE DONE IS ON THEIR SCHEDULES NOW, I'VE PUT THEM WORKING EIGHT TO NOON ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AND THEN THEY'RE OFF USUALLY ON WEDNESDAY SO THAT THAT CAN KEEP THE BUDGET IN TACT AS WELL AS GIVE THEM AT LEAST SOME TIME OFF.

BUT I INVITE ANYBODY TO COME [INAUDIBLE] [NOISE].

IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR. I KNOW.

I WAS GOING TO. YES.

AND. COLEEN AND THE POLICE PEOPLE WERE DOING TOURS AND SHE'S YESTERDAY.

SHE TEXTED ME THAT SHE HAS THE CONTACT HAS ME, THE CONTACT INFORMATION.

[NOISE] HAVE TO GET HOURS AND STUFF.

MAYBE THEY CAN DO HOURS AT THE SHELTER, EVEN IF IT'S ON THE WEEKEND BETWEEN EIGHT AND NOON.

YOU KNOW SOMEBODY IS UP THERE. SO THE PROBLEM IS LIABILITY ISSUES WHEN YOU COME TO THAT IS THAT IF THEY'RE NOT 18 OR ABOVE, HAVE THOSE ISSUES.

SOMEBODY GOT BIT OR GOT HURT.

IF WE HAVE THAT IN PLACE FOR COMMUNITY SERVICE, [NOISE] THE PEOPLE THAT THEIR PARENT OR GUARDIAN HAS.

I FEEL LIKE WE'VE COME A LONG WAY IT WAS KIND OF [NOISE] YES.

WE HAVE ANY IDEAS? YOU ALL KNOW WHERE TO FIND ME. FOR SURE.

YOU ALL NEED SOME MORE BLANKETS FOR THE UPCOMING COLD WEATHER.

WE ALWAYS CAN USE MORE BLANKETS.

THIS YEAR IT SEEMS LIKE THERE WAS NO END TO KITTEN SEASON.

YOU KNOW, USUALLY IT'S A COUPLE OF TIMES A YEAR, BUT THIS YEAR IT'S BEEN IN-SEASON ALL YEAR.

SO WE USE THEM FOR THE KITTENS AND STUFF.

JUST ALL YEAR ROUND.

YEAH. ANYBODY [NOISE] KEEPING UP. GOT ANY IDEAS? JANIE. I'M JUST ALWAYS TRYING TO BRAINSTORM TO THINK ABOUT VOLUNTEERS.

THE CREDIT UNION IS ALL ABOUT VOLUNTEERING AND EMPLOYEES, AND WE HAVE A LOT OF EMPLOYEES TOO THAT'S.

THAT'S LIKE ME.

THAT'S [NOISE]. SO I'LL GET WITH FIRST [NOISE].

DO WE HAVE AN INTERNAL CALENDAR AND [INAUDIBLE] [NOISE].

SO THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE GOING TO BUSINESSES LOOKING FOR SOME DONATIONS OF [NOISE] JUST ANYTHING THAT THAT REMODEL DONE.

WE HAVE SOMEBODY THAT'S GOING TO DONATE SOME OF OUR STONE ON THE FRONT, AND THAT'S ONLY.

WHAT ABOUT, LIKE THE CREDIT UNION DONATED THAT EMPLOYEE THAT HAD BEEN THERE LIKE 40 YEARS? [NOISE] AND SHE STILL GOT THE [NOISE].

WHAT ABOUT? IF YOU LIKE.

[00:25:07]

RIGHT? I'VE DONE THAT WITH HOME DEPOT AND SOME OF THE STUFF.

SORRY. THAT'S ALL RIGHT. SO I JUST [NOISE].

WE HAVE THE ONE ROOM THAT STILL HAS HER PLAQUE OUTSIDE AND EVERYTHING.

THE CAT ROOMS. THEY COULD BY DO A CAT [NOISE] LIKE A DOG KENNEL.

THEY COULD. YEAH. YEAH.

SO. PART OF THE REMODEL WE'RE LOOKING AT POSSIBLY IN FRONT OF THOSE OR THE THREE CAT ROOMS ARE PUTTING ASTROTURF DOWN IN A LITTLE FENCED THING, FOUR FOOT FENCE OR WHATEVER, AND MAKING THAT AREA, THE PLAY AREA.

BECAUSE IT'S GOT THE DOOR SO IT CAN BE DISINFECTED AND CLEANED AND.

YEAH. SO.

YOU KNOW. THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING.

FOR ALL [NOISE] I APPRECIATE IT.

I'M JUST GLAD TO BE HERE.
