 Okay, so it's 12 30. I would like to call the mayor's pet friendly task group to order If everybody that's in the chambers would like to join me in saying the Pledge of Allegiance I Okay, so we're gonna do roll call I'm looking for Michelle Jenteen Lisa Merrick Karen Houston Abby block is in chambers Michelle Warner Nicole Bredesen Mike Heimbach present Kate Hodges Christine Potter Gretchen Houston Kevin here Kevin post Yeah, and share a hate just go ahead and do the approval minutes Okay, so item 2.1 is an approval of the minutes from the October 28th 2020 meeting Do I have a motion to approve the minutes? We've got a motion from Abby block. Do we have a second second? Okay, the minutes are approved item 3.1 is Five people having five minutes each for public commentary limited to the items on the agenda But we do not have anybody in the chambers so item 4.1 is For discussion only the community-wide survey to discuss the outstanding questions surrounding the rollout of the survey So a couple of key questions, I think that we need to answer before we roll the survey out Mainly surrounding, you know the community survey for the city is coming out in February. Is that right February 1st? I believe for the month So wanting to avoid that You know, is that something that we want to roll out immediately following the close of that survey? Are we concerned about people having survey fatigue? So that's one big question. I don't know how you want to proceed with discussion But then there's a couple other You know other questions to address but I did put on the agenda How long do people have to complete the survey for the city? I Think it's open a month right the community survey So I mean we could You know roll that out right away in March Like I said, I don't know if people are going to be a little bit surveyed out if we want to give them a Little bit of time in between. I don't know if anybody has thoughts I'd be concerned about maybe overlapped people think oh, I already you know Is it the same survey or you know, whatever you're right? I think the survey fatigue might be an issue. Okay, so I guess my recommendation would be April Mr. Mayor, how do you feel about doing that in April? I Think that's far enough way that it'd be fine So then other questions, how long do we want to have is it going to be a month that we have that out to the public Month sounds fine. Okay, and then other questions talking through this with Sarah Do we have any budget available for like boosting any Facebook posts or printing any information or purchasing a gift card to incentivize Participation now we really don't have any budget. So I think if we have this as an e-survey that's going to be the best for us Okay Are we doing a press release? Yep We can help you out with that. Okay a graphic for use on the website and social Yep, okay, and then I know we had talked about engaging with area of veterinarians Is that something we're still looking at doing? You know if we're waiting till April is that give us enough time? Maybe to reach out to I mean there's not a ton of that See if we can get them engaged with the survey. Yeah, it'll be fine Then in terms of the best way to proceed is that something? Just the survey committee will work on or that's Christine Or do you want I guess what the next steps are Like I can put together a list of veterinarians I'm gonna get it out to the group if people want to take You know a vet and visit and talk with them and share it. I Guess just trying to get a sense of where we Go I'm friends with one doctor at the Sheboygan animal clinic, so I know I can reach out to them Okay, I can I'm not too familiar with some of the others We have a good relationship with our vet at the animal Sorry, I'm sorry tonight. That's what we're reaching out to them about I just joined I was a little late Yeah, good to see you. I'm good to see you too, Michelle So we're talking about the community survey Rolling that out the community survey for the city is coming out at the beginning of February So we just discussed waiting Waiting through March and then putting that out in April. So I know we had originally discussed Reaching out to area that offices and seeing if we could get them to encourage their patients to fill out the survey Well, that was part of my question I guess So If I guess I would say if anybody has a relationship with vet offices I think just that we're not having five people go to the same doctor and asking the same thing But that we're trying to get things covered we take our our tribe of corgis to healthy paws in Sheboygan Falls, so We've got good relations with those vets out there. I'll I'll reach out to the vets at healthy paws Dr. Dixler is amazing. Okay, yes, she saw a lot of us last year so Okay Gretchen was that you that was me? Oh Michelle, okay. I'm sorry. Who are you planning to reach out to? We have a list of a lot of the vets in the community So, you know, I can provide you that list and we can certainly communicate with them. Okay Would you like us to prepare like a flyer that they could post in their offices? That would be appreciated We'll do Anything else so Michelle, were you planning you'd email that out so that the Group kind of knows you're going. Okay, perfect Thank you, that's pretty much all I had about That Does anybody else have any comments about 4.1 Okay, then we'll move on to item 4.2, which is the online assessment update So just briefly on that we did submit to Mars back in November and Got a contact from them at the end of December saying that she wanted to schedule some time to talk through that She thought maybe we've been a little bit harsh in our responses So that's I just heard back from her. We're scheduled. I think February 4th if anybody's interested at 1030 we're gonna do a Virtual conversation But I'm curious to see what she has to say and see where we go from there I guess I would say if you're interested if you want to let me know or email me I can send you the invite for that on Okay, how does this planning to be on that call so awesome anybody have any comments? Okay, then we'll move on to item 4.3 Which is the discussion surrounding the pet related ordinances and the task groups role moving forward With that one I hope that that our staff meaning Jill Curlin in the park department could Give us some I guess Recommendations on things that they see that are needing to be changed the salt also might include the police department with some of the aspects of our ordinance dealing with dangerous dogs and things like that and Once we get those recommendations, we can consider those and add any of our own concerns in is members of this committee Joe, do you think that's workable? Yep But I can re put those down too and and I'm out for the next meeting Thank you. Anybody else have any comments about that? Okay. Well, we have exhausted the agenda So I don't 5.1 the next meeting date is Wednesday February 24th and Item 5.2 is a German of the meeting. Do I have a motion to adjourn? We've got a motion to adjourn. Do we have a second and we have a second we are adjourned Thank you for your time today, everybody
