18

City ACO April responded to 345 reported strays and of those 198 were 19

GOA (gone on arrival); 147 were impounded, 120 were impounded at 20

ASCMV with 67 dogs and 53 cats. Successful in field RTO 27, unsuccessful 21

in returning seven. Three year comparison decrease from February to this 22

month and May will be stepper decline. Owner release: one dog bit a family 23

were shared and expanded upon for April, January, February, and March. 30

If there are wildlife and they are causing issues, such as a pack of coyotes 31

tried to attack a woman's small dog, then Fish and Wildlife are called in by 32

the ACO. Board Member Gandara complimented the ACOs on their work, 33

and education initiatives. ACO are doing school presentations and can do 34

Zoom classes as well. Board Member Abeyta-Stuve asked if the current 35

calls for cats include just a single cat or mom with kittens. ACO officer 36

stated it varies. On the map in the notes section it shows exactly. 37

38

B. Shelter Statistics and Activities 39

40

Clint Thacker gave the ASCMV Executive Director’s report. Current count 41

at the shelter 192, compared to 2019 at 489 difference is because of the 42

shift impounds asked both ACOs to do. Intake continues to be low as well, 43

2020 330 total intake for April versus 771 in 2019. Outcomes 49 finalized 44

adoptions, which the animal is sterilized and everything done but this year 45

sterilizations not done yet due to pandemic. Reclaims 48, rescued 140. 46

3

Euthanasia 49. 82.9% live release rate which fell because population slow. 1

Not euthanizing adoptable, healthy animals. April 543 people coming ot the 2

shelter compared to 2171 in 2019, but the pandemic limiting who comes 3

into the center and only with an appointment. Board Member Ellins asked 4

why no surgeries are being done. This is due to the Governor's order on 5

halting all elective surgeries. Surgeries have resumed on a limited basis. 6

7

C. Committee Reports 8

9

1. Finance - David Dollahon, Committee Chair 10

11

City Finance staff gave the financial report. Unaudited financials 12

ending April 30th. Cash balance is at $263,000; accounts receivable 13

at $4,180 which $4,000 from City of Anthon and $180 from Sunland 14

Park. Liabilities $62,000, and unassigned fund balance $206,000. 15

Capital projects funds restricted balance $3,600. Change in net 16

position, budget to actual parameter at 83.3%, actual revenues at 17

$2,353,000, total expenditures are at $247,000. The parameter is at 18

81.4% for revenues and total expenditures are at 79.3%. After 19

transfers net change to fund balance $28,000. Expenditures that 20

stand out are temporary services at 99.9% budget to actual. No 21

contracting services for April and there were three payrolls posted. 22

The pie chart of overall total expenditures; 75% personnel, 11% 23

services, 7% supplies. 24

25

Board Member Dollahon explained the need for a budget adjustment 26

in the June meeting. Also in June meeting a detailed request for 27

additional funding from the City. Clint will provide details for 28

increasing in the City's contribution. Finances are really tight as 29

revenue continues to be down with so few people coming in for 30

adoptions etc. 31

32

2. Executive - Yvonne Flores, Committee Chair 33

34

Board Member Sanchez stated there was discussion of receipt of 35

another grant. Clint Thacker stated the most in depth discussion was 36

the City discussing bringing in the ASCMV as a department. Board 37

Member Gandara City had a work session May 11, 2020 to discuss 38

City taking over ASCMV. ASCMV is a Joint Powers Agreement with 39

City of Las Cruces and Doña Ana County since 2008. The City is 40

working on having a second joint meeting with the County. Board 41

Member Dollahon has shared comments and PowerPoint shared 42

with County Chuck McMahon and Jeannine Quintero with request for 43

further discussion based on the City Council direction. More 44

discussion with ASCMV and City staff, minimal amount of staffing 45

with minimal animals in the center, and then look for adjustment 46

4

based on that. Also evaluate different cost centers based on breed 1

of animals, cats vs. dogs, small dogs vs. large dogs. Formal request 2

to the County from the City Manager's office to start discussions 3

formally with the County staff on next steps related to the Joint 4

Powers Agreement. 5

6

3. Facilities - Kassandra Gandara, Committee Chair 7

8

Board Member Gandara discussed current renovations to the HVAC 9

system. Adopted pet space being cleaned. Kudos to Michel Meunier 10

for picking 17 cats, caring for them and finding "furever" homes. 11

Pleased with the ASCMV adopting the Governor's mandate in terms 12

of six-feet, and cleaning and adhering to that. Clint Thacker stated 13

a continuing rotation process of when construction starts on the roof 14

and ripping out airduct systems, so the animals are removed in that 15

section. After that process is complete then thoroughly scrub the 16

area. Air scrubbers are being put in each intake and outtake. 17

18

D. CfPP Report 19

20

Clint Thacker gave the presentation. A volunteer handbook was drafted, 21

and article from Las Cruces bulletin volunteer project for Cruces Creatives 22

was also drafted. Las Cruces Dog Park Coalition, great information on the 23

dog parks, but also on animals found. Las Cruces Pet Networking to Save 24

Lives Southern New Mexico. New Mexico Furever Homes Animal Rescue 25

transported ASCMV dogs to Southwest Oasis in Tucson. Safe Haven 26

Animal Sanctuary the two pictured were adopted. Spay and Neuter Action 27

Program, graphic shows why spay neuter, reduces spraying and marking 28

cats, the roaming of dogs reduced, aggression reduced, lower chance of 29

cancer, decrease of overpopulation, and also increases the animal's 30

lifespan. Spay neuter vouchers dated January 15th through March 23rd are 31

automatically approved for expiration date May 29th. Mobile clinic 32

scheduled for spring were cancelled. UNcaged Paws doing great for the 33

ASCMV. May 9th fly out of El Paso of 64 dogs and cats. Dog is my Co-34

Pilot, Lulu's Fun, UNcaged Paws did amazing things. I'm Almost Home 35

Animal Rescue, formerly Chained Dog, has new life. Feed the love, 36

continue to support the community's pets during COVID-19, accepting pet 37

food donations. Drive through pet bank third Saturday of every month, 38

11:00 - 1:00 on Picacho Avenue at Action Programs for Animals. May the 39

Purr be with you, Coalition for Pets and People are always looking for 40

volunteers. Board Member Sanchez stated that the nonprofits are not 41

being able to have many of their fund raising events, so if anyone in the 42

community can help. Also with pet food donations. 43

44

V. Action Items 45

46

5

A. Resolution 2020-13: Accept the Carroll Petrie Foundation Grant and 1

Maddie's Fund Grant 2

3

Clint Thacker these are great grants. Thank Emily Muir, the Volunteer 4

Coordinator for the Carroll Petrie Foundation and secure that $25,000. It is 5

more of a donation, it is open, i.e. no restrictions on it. Amy Delefex, animal 6

caregiver, she applied for Maddie's fund and got the $10,000. It is 7

earmarked for foster care which could include spay/neuter of a foster 8

animal. ASCMV is working with local vets to have people be able to take 9

adopted animals to vets' clinics for spay/neuter rather than only at the 10

ASCMV. 11

12

Motion by Board Member Gandara, second by Board Member Abeyta-13

Stuve. Passed unanimously. 14

15

VI. Discussion Items 16

17

A. Proposal to merge the ASCMV as a City of Las Cruces department. 18

19

Board Member Dollahon e-mailed the County members the presentation 20

and the notes from the May 11th City Council meeting. This is complex but 21

with history. The City had an agreement with Humane Society up until 2008 22

to operate the center. In 2008 the Joint Powers Agreement was established 23

between the two governing bodies to essentially establish this Board, and 24

to operate the center. It was last amended in 2012. There are some items 25

within the Joint Powers Agreement that are not being done; one the City 26

has never executed a lease or made arrangements for credit for a lease 27

between the Animal Service Center and City as the owner. This was 28

something dropped by City staff. 29

30

There are also things within the lease that were the City is specifically 31

providing that is called out not to be providing. That's training, drug testing, 32

risk management, and onboarding of employees as the fiscal agent. Within 33

the proposal is if the City were to bring it in as a department: Going to a fee 34

for service or fee per animal basis for reimbursement from the County. 35

That's what is currently done with the other incorporated areas of Dona Ana 36

County excluding the City of Las Cruces. The second part is the way the 37

wording is in the Joint Powers agreement, to disband the Joint Powers 38

agreement of the Animal Service Center, it has to be through mutual 39

discussion and mutual agreement. Converting fee for service would not be 40

done instantly, probably a couple of years with a flat guaranteed 41

commitment from the County, and then converting to an animal fee for 42

service contract, similar to what we do with the other municipalities. 43

44

Did a historical analysis of the budget and came up a fee for service and it 45

depends on the number of animals that are in the center that are brought 46

6

in. It does account for the fact that citizens and animal control officers drop 1

off animals to the Center. It is based on if the animal is known and their 2

addresses known, then it's attributed to the City or the County, if it is not 3

then it depends on the processes that the Center goes through. City will 4

speak with County management. City needs some refinement based on 5

the Council's questions and those notes were shared with ASCMV. The 6

meeting of May 11th was recorded, available YouTube and the City's 7

internet. Clint Thacker expressed thanks, and states this is the direction 8

they would like to go. 9

10

Board Member Ellins questioned the fee for service, and be a basic flat rate 11

for a year or two, and would the flat rate be the same the County is currently 12

paying? Board Member Dollahon stated that is still part of the ongoing 13

discussion. The formula being proposed beyond the first two years is to do 14

the flat fee, something based on the average number of animals that are 15

brought in based on a geographical location, probably use a three year 16

average. Variety and variation in number of animals to the Center. 17

Converting the old shelter to new community public spay/neuter or medical 18

center that supports not only the animals in the Center being adopted out 19

but provide support back to the low-income community in partnership with 20

a multitude of nonprofits that help qualify people. Center would take a 21

voucher. Board Member Ellins stated when the discussion for fee for 22

services, will the fee depend upon the shape the animal comes in, i.e. if the 23

animal needs medical treatment would the fee be more than if just dropping 24

off a stray animal? Board Member Dollahon stated that is a good question 25

but cannot be answered now. Board Member Dollahon would like it to be 26

as simple as possible for understanding and implementation. There will 27

always be a reconciliation to what animals came in when and how they 28

arrived etc. Clint Thacker stated that with previous experiences with per 29

animal charging, it just been a flat rate and average amount; some animals 30

almost nothing and other animals needing a lot more care. 31
