She suggested that the Commission solicit credentials from prospective members within a specific timeline. Once the process is completed and a list of candidates is assembled by the Commission, then the committee members should be allowed to select the new member by simple majority vote. VISITORS Dr. Andrea Master-Everson, Robinson s Rescue, came before the Commission to provide their midyear report for their SSNIP Program. She stated that program provides free spay/neuter and rabies vaccinations to pets owned by low-income residents of Caddo Parish. Currently, 269 free surgeries for pets owned by Caddo Parish residents this year. She explained that there is an inverse relationship with the increase in spay/neuters numbers and the decrease with euthanasia and intake of animals at the shelter. Ms. Kirsten Howard stated that this program not only impacts Caddo Animal Control and the pets directly involved, it also benefits the residents living and working in Caddo who have experienced the effects of pet overpopulation.

She thanked the Commission once again for helping fund this program. Answering a question from Mr. Middleton regarding microchipping capability, Dr. Master- Everson stated that they do not, but they do have the capability to read microchips. Mr. Jackson commended Robinson s Rescue for helping get the euthanasia rate down. Ms. Laurie Boswell, CEO, Holy Angels, introduced herself to the Commission. She thanked the Commission for their support. Holy Angels was established in 1965 and has been very successful throughout the years.

There are about 100 individuals who live in the community, but come to the Angel Works Day Program, which is an award winning program that provides individuals with work training and job placement. The success of the program is due to the focus of the mission, which is to provide individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities a path to self-fulfillment through education, empowerment, spiritually, independence, and work. She then talked about Angel University, where over 8,000 hours of training has been provided to their frontline workers.

He also pointed out that there are committee members who did not make any of the public hearings. He also said that the Commission will have to make a vote on the recommendation of the committee, but the Commissioners have not all made it to the public hearings.

She also pointed out that it has been tradition for the Commission to appoint a new board member when a position has been vacated. Mr. Louis Johnson asked if there were committee members that did not make any of the public hearings. Mr. Lyndon B. Johnson stated that was true, there were some members that did not make any of the public hearings. Mr. Louis Johnson explained that it is so late in the process, so he does not see it to be a disservice to allow those who have been there to vote, as opposed to bringing in a new member. Call for the Question by Mr. Middleton, seconded by Mr. Bowman. Mr. Jackson stated that he had a question, and he was still in the queue.

Point of Order by Mr. Lyndon B. Johnson. He asked if something can be reconsidered if there was no vote. Attorney Frazier said that it could. Mr. Dominick asked Attorney Bernstein to explain the four amendments that were made. Attorney Bernstein explained that the last time the UDC was before the Commission, it failed, so there is nothing to amend at this point. He said that is why it is on the agenda for introduction, so at the next meeting the Commission could either adopt or consider the amendments. Mr. Bowman agreed with Mr. Dominick. Mr. Atkins would like to see the maps associated with the UDC. Attorney Bernstein said that the UDC will be addressing zoning and subdivision law and the zoning map. The map will be the same one that was being considered before. The version of UDC that will attached to this ordinance will mirror the changes that were made by the City. One of the amendments that was requested was to decouple from the City, he said. The City has already done that, so that language would not be needed in the UDC, he explained. Mr. Dominick said that the amendments include: all appeals come to the Commission; the Commission has a right to change the UDC; and all the businesses would be grandfathered in. Answering a question from Mr. Louis Johnson regarding if the code was in spirit unified, Mr. Dominick that this was 99% unified other than the four amendments that were mentioned above. UDC. Mr. Linn would like to have the opportunity to visit with Attorney Bernstein to review the Mr. Lyndon B. Johnson stated that this cannot be reconsidered because there is not a prevailing side due to the original motion dying for the lack of a second. Mr. Jackson said that the chairman can rule on a point of order, and he ruled that this ordinance will go to a vote to reconsider. Mr. Lyndon B. Johnson also said that he was hoping that this would be a new ordinance with language showing the amendments and changes. Attorney Bernstein stated that there was not a vote stating the language to be used, so that is why they went the course that they did. Mr. Lyndon B. Johnson stated that he would like to have it as one document. Attorney Bernstein pointed out that the UDC will come to Commissioners as a 300 page document with the changes in it. He said that it might be difficult for the Commissioners to see the changes. Mr. Lyndon B. Johnson requested that he make a key. Mr. Chavez suggested that Mr. Lyndon B. Johnson put that in the form of a motion.

7 Page 7 Amendment by Mr. Lyndon B. Johnson, seconded by Mr. Chavez, that the ordinance be re-worded to show the changes that were made by the Rural Caucus, and that it be presented as one document.
