“No, thank you for the information. I think that the grand jury reports, from a historical sense, give us a better understanding of kind of where we are today. I'm wondering if, I mean, we're here for a reason, right? I think that our community is heartbroken and saddened with events. I know that we have a history, right? Like there were several significant abuse cases that your department took care of with success.

“It might be inappropriate so that you know city attorney, let me know was there anything that we could have done to.

“Okay, I think for anyone and any one of our residents, our residents really care deeply for not just their own animals, but animals in general. We know that it's a priority for our community. If there's anything I think that we can do from, again, I'm looking at it from in terms of our role from a policy perspective, we know historically that we have the grand jury as an oversight body that comes in and provides recommendations. We know that those have been addressed. We know that we need to do better in terms of our volunteer in that process. And it sounds like communication with our…”

“So I think while I appreciate the thoughts, I also want to hear, I would like more information from the animal ad hoc. You've been working on all animal issues for, I want to say, a couple of years now.”

“And hearing not only community members' concerns with volunteers, and also working with staff, touring, and understanding. I think having more in-depth than I think most of us, just because of your research and dedication to the issue, I think the situation that helped kind of move this hearing to where we are today, I think that is out of our control. The court made a decision about the outcome. What's within our purview, I think, There's a couple of things. So one, I personally would like to see more communication. It sounds like not just... So a couple of things. One, I want to look to see…”

“Information back. I think my only concern is that there needs to be enough, if and when it comes back, we need to have few agenda items because this is a topic that our community's very interested and there's gonna be a lot of speakers.”

“We had integrated waste management tonight that I missed because we're here. But we are in the process of negotiating for a contract. I think our city staff is sitting in on those, probably an intent to award. 3CE is going to have their retreat next week for two days, so I'll be attending that. Looking forward to that. We did approve a letter. There's a lot of legislation in regards to just energy. A letter is attached for your reference. And just a friendly reminder that I'm no longer part of the senior council, and we do need a representative. I know that's really important. Unfortunately,…”
