Councilmember Testa stated that is why Valley Humane exists; to save many of the animals that would <br /> otherwise be euthanized. City Manager Fialho reported they received over 100 stray dogs last year, 35 <br /> were euthanized, of which 23 were owner-requested euthanizations. <br /> Vice Mayor Brown invited public comment. <br /> Cathy Gabor referenced Item No. 11 and noted the Committee is only being extended two years, rather <br /> than given permanent status and inquired why. <br /> City Manager Fialho reported the committee was set up with a definite life span of two years; however <br /> the term has been extended three times. The issue has been discussed and the City Council majority <br /> determined that two years made the most sense. There are options to renew it in the future but the <br /> option before the City Council is consistent with their established priorities. <br /> Councilmember Testa noted her support of making it a permanent committee and asked about the <br /> obstacles to doing so. City Manager Fialho stated there is no obstacle and reported the City Council <br /> could defer action tonight and direct staff to bring back a more formal action resulting in not only a <br /> resolution but also a modification and amendment to the Municipal Code to establish the committee as <br /> a formal commission. It is a policy issue the City Council would need to discuss and debate. There was <br /> a discussion during the City Council priorities process and the decision was to continue it for another <br /> two years. <br /> City Attorney <br /> 1.
