I didn't have time to dig for it today.<br /><br />According to the notes from last Thursday's Animal Shelter Commission meeting, the HSUS rep is hitting town tomorrow the 27th.<br /><br />I read through the second page of the agenda, and it looks like there's little chance there will be any valid reason to call for an "executive session". But considering how they seem to think they make up the rules themselves, I'd be really surprised if the public were allowed into this meeting. <br /><br />Perhaps one of the spectators at last Thursday's Commission meeting kicked up a stink with the City Secretary or AG's office after hearing about the confidentiality that the HSUS rep was insisting upon.Feline Provocateurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17466005693134683603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3795976069209416133.post-17533366439290689652010-04-26T17:15:20.098-05:002010-04-26T17:15:20.098-05:00http://www.ci.dallas.tx.us/cso/meetings/Animal_042...http://www.ci.dallas.tx.us/cso/meetings/Animal_0427.pdf<br /><br />It is an open meeting.<br /><br />I don't see anything that says they are meeting WITH HSUS. It's a work session to discuss the HSUS evaluations for DAS.<br /><br />I can't tell if that's present tense, or past. I can't tell whether HSUS is here THIS WEEK, or whether they were here LAST WEEK. The agenda is brief, and fairly non-descriptive...but either way, it's an open meeting, and unless they call for executive session, at least anyone wanting to attend should be able to do so.Rosebudnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3795976069209416133.post-54454361516539404832010-04-25T13:11:12.397-05:002010-04-25T13:11:12.397-05:00Do you know who is the person that is representing...Do you know who is the person that is representing HSUS might be in this matter?Cindynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3795976069209416133.post-17893654261577710752010-04-24T16:25:38.719-05:002010-04-24T16:25:38.719-05:00The minutes for the previous meeting aren't ye...The minutes for the previous meeting aren't yet available. This is because the initial draft minutes are not presented to the Commission's members for review until the next meeting - which was last Thursday. The minutes from Feb. were passed during last Thursday's meeting, so now we have to give them a few days to post them at the City Secretary's Web site, or ask them why they haven't posted.<br /><br />No, not keeping up with the Open Meetings Act.<br /><br />And the source who told me about the sole $25K donor would not tell me who came up with it. He's been a reliable source though, so I didn't press it.

I'm going to *guess* that he laughed that omission off in any event.<br /><br />Do you have a clue if that money went thru MAC? or if the possible donor wrote the check to give directly to HSUS?<br /><br />Are you keeping up with the number of times that the Open Meetings Act has been broken?<br /><br />You never posted the minutes from the previous meeting, did you forget? or were you unable to find them in order to do that.<br /><br />Now we are back to all those extra committees and how many of the same people are on each of them......Cindynoreply@blogger.com
