San Angelo's board meeting calendar recently added four Animal Shelter Advisory Committee meetings for 2024. I'd been monitoring the calendar for a rescheduled ASAC meeting after the October 19th meeting "failed to achieve a quorum."
Information obtained after the meeting indicated a majority of current members were in attendance that day as three of the five current members were in attendance. Two positions are unfilled, one due to their term ending and the other due to resignation.
City ordinances require the ASAC to meet at least three times in a calendar year. The committee met twice thus far in 2023, April and August. It must meet one more time before year end to meet city ordinances.
The city has a history and practice of not following its own ordinances in the animal care arena. There's a month and a half left to hold that third ASAC meeting of 2023. Will it happen?
A planned meeting for community members to visit with Bob Salas this evening has been cancelled:
"Anyone interested with questions about the local animal shelter" needs more than a modicum of patience in trying to be heard.
Update: City Public Information Officer Brian Groves offered insight as to why Bob Salas cancelled the meeting. He said an Animal Shelter Advisory Committee meeting would be scheduled soon to hear concerns.
