RE: Animal Services Advisory Board
The Pet Retail position on the Animal Services Advisory Board has been posted for several months
and no applicants have applied to fill this position. On May 17, 2022, following direction received
from the Board of County Commissioners at their April 26, 2022, meeting, the ASAB elected to
fill this position with a qualified At-Large candidate.
The Board reviewed three (3) candidates who had recently applied for a vacant At-Large position
on the ASAB. Five (5) of the current Board members were in attendance at the meeting.
By a vote of 5-0, the Animal Services Advisory Board voted to recommend Michele Antonia to
fill the vacant Pet Retail position. Ms. Antonia is the founder of the Animal Compassion Project
and has served on the Advisory Board in the past.
