Commissioner Sandra Solomon - Seat No. 3: • Wished everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. Commissioner Bill Hufford — Seat No. 4: Suggested there were two elements relating to the dog issue discussed earlier, which were how to address the actual dangerous dog issue and how to address any code violation or nuisance property issues with the property owner, and he felt the overall situation should be addressed. Reported that Chief Krantz had met recently with a group of local pastors for a dialog on measures which could be taken to prevent a tragedy such as the recent shooting at a church in Texas. Vice Mayor Anthony Aramendia - Seat No. 1: Wished all those in attendance a Happy Thanksgiving with family and friends. Mayor Glancy — Seat No. 5: Suggested that Mr. Newlon may wish to contact Ms. Karen Nolan or Ms. Katie Flynn from the list of citizens who had spoken during Citizen Comments for suggestions regarding selection of a representative group to meet with staff about how to proceed with pursuing changes in legislation regarding animal control.
