The Council went over the agenda for that night's formal <br /> Council meeting and detailed the recommendations for each bill from the various committees. <br /> Interview for the South Bend Animal Care & Control Commission <br /> Mariah Covey, 1202 East Donald Street, stated,I've lived in South Bend since I was six(6).I went <br /> to Lincoln, Jackson, then Riley. I went to Purdue twice. I work at Kryder's. I was a volunteer vet <br /> for Animal Control,meaning,I do my job for free for the City on time off. Jen Goebel the Director, <br /> as well as someone from the Board, have tried to sucker me into this and so in my application I <br /> didn't say I would accept a permanent position because I am not really sure what I am getting <br /> myself into. I do sit on the Mishawaka Animal Control Board as well. They are also trying to <br /> sucker me into the County one (1) and I do not have the time in my life to do all these things. But <br /> seeing how they are so backlogged, I said I would be willing to try and help them get caught up <br /> and then if it is going well or they need help I would consider a more permanent appointment. So <br /> if you have anyone else dying to do this job, I encourage you to pick them. <br /> Committee Chair Ferlic made a motion to approve Dr. Covey's appointment. Council President <br /> Scott opened the floor to discussion. <br /> Councilmember Jo M. Broden stated, So in terms of what is going ahead, are you aware of their <br /> 2019 goals and objectives? <br /> Dr. Covey replied, I know they are trying to make it so that we don't need us to meet on a regular <br /> basis. For Mishawka, we only meet when there is an appeal. When I took that position they told <br /> me they only met twice the year prior. <br /> Councilmember Broden followed up,And there is going to be a re-write of the ordinance. Are you <br /> familiar with that? <br /> INTEGRITYI SERVICE'ACCESSIBILITY <br /> JENNIFER M.COFFMAN BIANCA L.TIRADo JOSEPH B.MOLNAR <br /> CHIEF DEPUTY/DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS DEPUTY/DIRECTOR OF POLICY ORDINANCE VIOLATION CLERIC <br /> EXCELLENCE I ACCOUNTABILITY I INNOVATION I INCLUSION I EMPOWERMENT <br /> 455 County-City Building 1227 W.Jefferson Blvd.I South Bend,Indiana 46601 I p 574.235.9221 I f 574.235.9173 I www.southbendin.gov <br />
