that specifically works on animal shelters. Steve Cernell advised that
during the bidding process, points will be awarded to companies with
experience in designing for shelters. Ms. Bloom also inquired if the meet
and greet play yard will be part of the upgrades. Dercy Andrade advised
that there is already a plan for thar play yard.
B. FY18 Budget
Derc? Andrede informed the Board that she took las year,s comments
from the Advisory Board and incorporated them into budget planning for
FYl8, including an increase to the marketing portion of the budget. She

Care Specialist for the clinic, but only the Vet Tech position has been
approved. Ms. Andrade stated that she is waiting on approval of several
other items including a walk-in freezer, new cat cages for the lobby and

Steve Cernell and Leo Ochs for responding to concems about air
conditioning in the kennels. He also stated that he believes that the budget
should be prepared based on the needs of the facility, not based on a pre-set
percentage of the current budget. He inquired if it may be necessary to go

system is on hold pending decisions about the Feasibility Study. She
