City Manager proposed a work session to compile information and then move to contract with the agency; and (3) Resolution of the combined efforts of the City and County to take over the administration of the animal shelter, formerly managed by the Humane Society, effective February 1. An advisory board will be appointed consisting of three City Council members and three County Commissioners. New Council member Sharon Thomas volunteered to be on this Board. All routine resolutions were approved unanimously, with the exception of a Resolution Limiting the City Council's Power of Eminent Domain as it applies to Real Property Acquisitions for the Purpose of Private Economic Development. The three new Council members requested that this resolution be deferred to February or March to allow more time for them to review and evaluate this issue. It was tabled until the March 3rd Council meeting. |
