large position on the committee to the Veterinary position. The motion was seconded and
approved. A second motion was made to recommend that Susan Thiem and Judi Sisson for the
two vacant At-Large positions. The motion was seconded and approved.
Audience Participation: Mike Hughes, D.V.M., proposed the idea of a one tag licensing system
to the committee members and Health Department staff. Dr. Hughes believes that this system will
:
greatly improve billing/fees. He also had a concern regarding the fees being assessed for dead
animal pickups at the veterinary clinics. Dr. Hughes will draft a proposal of this one tag billing
system and send it to the Health Department for review before it is sent to the Veterinary
Association. Dr. Hughes also brought up his concern regarding the tick problem at the Animal
Control Facility. Jeff Beynon informed Dr. Hughes that they were addressing the tick problem as
they were now using preventative tick collars. By using these collars they have seen dramatic
results in the control of fleas.
Ad*ournment: The meeting adjourned at 1:25 p.m. The next meeting will be held Thursday,
