September 17, 2019 Sarah Baeckler-Davis confirmed that and stated that she was in favor ofpreventing retail sales. Kyra Lynch advised that the language provides for a six-month period for current businesses to close. Public Speakers Tom Kepp asked if the proposed language would stop online sales through Craig's List and other sites and Darcy Andrade read the pertinent part ofthe language. Mr. Kepp also asked if it outlines enforcement and was advised by Ms. Andrade that it follows the current enforcement policy. Mary Lundberg discussed puppy mills and stated that Naples is being used to sell puppies throughout the country and that consumers are not getting what they purchased. Patricia Holley stated that Petland has already leased space in Naples and is due to open in 60 to 90 days. Ms. Holley recounted an anecdote about someone who purchased a dog with numerous health concems and discussed the finance and leasing of dogs. Dan Rheaume stated that it is possible that the incident she described may rise to the level of consumer fraud with the Attomey General's Office. Chuck Danielian presented a packet of information to the Board showing complaints from Florida residents and Humane Society ofthe United States investigations into Petland. Kelly Hyland distributed a pet store bill offacts and stated that the issue isn't with Petland, it is with any pet store. Ms. Hyland asked what could be done to prevent the store from opening. Dan Rheaume stated that DAS goes to many public events and maybe DAS could have a weekly adoption event. Marjorie Bloom advised that maybe Haverty's would sponsor something. Ms. Hyland asked Steve Carnell what could be done to prevent the store from opening and Mr. Carnell advised that there is nothing on the record that would prevent a store from opening. Sarah Baeckler-Davis stated that the Advisory Board agrees with the ban and the Board of county Commissioners is aware of the issue. She advised that people should be contacting their commissioners.

September 17,2019 Heidi Liebwein said the Jim Rich brought up spay and neuter and stated that this would put an increased risk on DAS because pet store animals are more likety to develop behavior issues and be brought to a shelter.

Citation Fee Collection Kevin Noell, fiom the County Aftomey's Offrce described the process used for citations and stated that when a violation/citation is issued and not contested, it is sent to collections. He stated that the new Animal Control Ordinance states that it should be sent to the Special Magistrate. He advised that there are costs to DAS to record orders and liens against property and many violators lease, rather than own or are homesteaded. In order to collect, the Board of County Commissioners would have to vote to foreclose on the property. Dan Rheaume asked ifthe property owner could be held accountable for renters and was advised by Mr. Noell that they cannot because these violations are not against the property. Mr. Rheaume stated that it seems like a law with no teeth. Mr. Noell advised that there is always about 10% of the population who do whatever they want to do, but we still must be good stewards of the county tar dollars and not spend the DAS budget on this when it could be better spent in diflerent ways. Mr. Noell advised that possible a lefter sent from the County Attomey's Office stating that you have xx number ofdays to pay after the Special Magistrate hearing would be helpful. Public Speakers Tom Kepp discussed a previous case and asked why the failure to pay can.t be put against someone's vehicle registration because time spent by the Animal control offrcers is being wasted going to these problem locations. He also discussed Habitat for Humanity and how mortgages in that community require people to follow all the rules and laws. chuck Danielian asked why wages can't be gamished and was advised that it is cost prohibitive. Kelly Hyland asked ifcitations can't be collected, is that also true for businesses? 4 September 17,2019 Susie Mehas stated that a lien can be placed on homestead properties. She also stated that whatever changed that allowed DAS to take the dogs in the case mentioned by Mr. Kepp should be done all the time. fim Rich made a motion to close the public comments on this topic, there was a second and the motion passed 7-0. Darcy Andrade advised the Board that DAS is taking a different route on the new facility than what had been planned. Because there are so many permitting issues on the cunent property, the county is looking to build a new facility at a new location. Jim Rich made a motion to support a new DAS facility at a new location, there was a second and the motion passed 7-0. VIII.
