Consider future alternate start time for the Animal Services Planning JPA meeting
 


Evelyn Dale and Mayra Vega addressed the Board on this item. Member Vega requested the doodle poll be sent to the alternates as well.

This item was placed on the agenda to discuss a future alternate start time for the Animal Services Planning JPA meeting as the present time conflicts with another meeting. However, due to a couple of members being unavailable at this meeting, no decision was made to change the time. The Chair recommended that staff send out a doodle poll to members and alternates to see what day/time works better and asked that this item be placed on the June 12, 2024 meeting agenda for further discussion.
