morning good morning how are you Nick than for opportunity to speak real 111 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:14,320 quickly on this want to answer some questions about what we 112 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:22,320 doing I guess the question is that better now oh yeah you can hear me now I 113 00:10:19,079 --> 00:10:28,040 can I guess the question is why is this why are we doing this sure so first big 114 00:10:25,959 --> 00:10:32,920 thank you to Jay John and Christina for helping us look at this we we the 115 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:37,720 university has three let's take you back to early 1970s when the university took 116 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:42,160 over what was then Mobile County Hospital which is now University 117 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:48,240 hospital and that time the the hospital board was created by state law to allow 118 00:10:45,519 --> 00:10:53,519 the the county to raise taxes to help offset some of the uncompensated care so 119 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:56,560 fast forward to today we're continually for the last three years in a row 120 00:10:54,839 --> 00:10:59,959 hitting $1 million a year in uncompensated care so the funds that 121 00:10:58,560 --> 00:11:06,160 come from the hosital hital board help offset a portion of that that's the 122 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:09,720 Nexus of why it was created the technical details of what we're trying 123 00:11:07,519 --> 00:11:14,800 to fix here is that the university sends the County Commissioners when for the 124 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:18,959 various six-year terms we nominate individuals to serve on this board but 125 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:23,880 those nominations come from three separate University entities one the 126 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:28,240 university Board of Trustees two is the USA Health Services foundation and three 127 00:11:26,079 --> 00:11:33,240 the USA research and Technology Corporation so the issue is now is it's 128 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:37,079 time for nominations we have names to bring forward to you to consider however 129 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:41,040 a couple of those entities don't exist anymore the University of South Alabama 130 00:11:39,519 --> 00:11:45,959 Health Services Foundation has been dissolved so we technically don't have a 131 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:50,800 legal means of nominating someone or bringing that board together so what 132 00:11:47,560 --> 00:11:54,399 this is doing is uh making an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation so that 133 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:58,240 instead of having three separate University entities making the same 134 00:11:56,639 --> 00:12:02,839 nominations which technically all come from the board anyways is cleaning up 135 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:06,800 the language to say that we are now the USA Board of Trustees will send you the 136 00:12:04,399 --> 00:12:12,720 nominations going forward instead of three separate entities underneath us 137 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:18,240 which is the same thing so that's all it is just a little is that fair 138 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:22,680 Jay SP on accurate makes sense just clean up language how many how many 139 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:27,519 members are on the board I'm going to look at John here 140 00:12:24,560 --> 00:12:32,079 real quick is it six or four three it's three so we take I guess 141 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:37,079 we we nominate two for each slot which why I think it's six and there's three 142 00:12:34,959 --> 00:12:40,079 directors so we'll send you two names and y'all are going to pick one once we 143 00:12:38,680 --> 00:12:44,839 make these changes and then they alternate they're staggered 144 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:47,560 terms all right I won't be here Monday but y'all know Anna Catherine she'll be 145 00:12:46,279 -->

doing uh particularly prior to the event with the Sheriff's Office in 186 00:16:29,199 --> 00:16:37,480 the dog fighting um activity that was going on where we had to take in I think 187 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:42,279 it was 30 something uh dogs that were involved in that so you guys have really 188 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:48,519 worked diligently I know that uh a lot of times you get uh some some media 189 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:53,680 coverage that's um I don't like to use the word fair but undeserving maybe and 190 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:57,560 so I know you guys are really working hard I was hearing a lot of good things 191 00:16:55,399 --> 00:17:01,759 about the uh population of the animal shelter and and how great you guys were 192 00:16:59,639 --> 00:17:05,919 doing out there and then we had this event which is caused a little hiccup 193 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:10,039 but I think we're catching back up and um I also want to say that I think we're 194 00:17:08,120 --> 00:17:14,799 going to have Sheree you can correct me but Monday we're going to have a puppy 195 00:17:12,799 --> 00:17:19,480 Expedition here at the we're going to have all the little puppies back so 196 00:17:16,959 --> 00:17:23,400 everybody be here for the puppies I love it when you bring the puppies down to 197 00:17:20,959 --> 00:17:28,039 government Plaza did we have Morgan maybe step up and talk to us a little 198 00:17:25,079 --> 00:17:32,400 bit about uh what's been happening with the shelter I know you've been trying to 199 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:38,520 move some dogs into foster care and to get them adopted through the these 200 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:47,120 events cuz you're the 32 dogs that you took in really put a strain on 201 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:53,080 uh I guess the the ability to take dogs additional dogs so what's what's 202 00:17:50,679 --> 00:17:56,799 happening well I will say this uh you know last summer we had a population 203 00:17:55,280 --> 00:18:04,880 that was well over 200 animals out of the shelter and with staff really uh 204 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:10,880 working hard uh we got that population down to where we were under our capacity 205 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:15,280 of uh care uh and we were still making great Headway with moving animals out of 206 00:18:12,360 --> 00:18:18,960 the shelter thanks to adoptions uh a new Foster program that we're still just 207 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:23,760 trying to jump start and get that uh get that up and running um the best friend 208 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:27,760 Society will be out here this uh Saturday pushing for more Fosters so 209 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:31,320 they they've assisted Us in in in boosting some post on social media and 210 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:34,760 we'll be doing what we call a foster Blitz to get more people excited about 211 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:40,200 fostering and getting animals out of the shelter um but uh yeah bringing in the 212 00:18:37,799 --> 00:18:45,240 32 dogs has really impacted our ability to operate um it all all of those dogs 213 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:50,640 take up One Wing of our kennel so that's about a third of our space um and each 214 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:56,600 one of those dogs uh is in a single run that uh they have access to both sides 215 00:18:53,240 --> 00:19:00,120 um so normally um if we start to get overpopulated or we get more animals in 216 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:04,919 we can start putting dogs on the other side of those runs but we are really out 217 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:07,960 of space so we've been really pushing and asking the public to get involved 218 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:12,039 come out and adopt if you're if you're ready to to bring a new uh pet into your 219 00:19:10,159 --> 00:19:16,000 home um or if you're not ready to bring it in permanently there's there's Foster 220 00:19:13,919 --> 00:19:20,360 options that we have available we also have over 40 puppies in the shelter 221 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:24,840 right now that could just use some some extra socialization and time away from 222 00:19:22,120 --> 00:19:29,039 the shelter bring all bring all 40 of them Monday I'll do my I'll do the best 223 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:32,960 I can I'm kidding just bring it yeah say 224 00:19:31,039 --> 00:19:36,400 something real quick so I just want to thank the shelter staff because 225 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:40,280 everything we've asked for in order to accommodate media request and to to make 226 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:45,559 things happen with helping move those dogs they've done and they've done very 227 00:19:42,120 --> 00:19:49,720 well and since June 8th we've cycled about 55 dogs and puppies out of the 228 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:55,440 shelter through foster adoption and rescue PS yeah and I would I meant to 229 00:19:52,679 --> 00:20:00,080 mention to you Sheree you and your staff for helping Morgan with that I mean it's 230 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:05,760 it's a team effort for sure with animal shelter and and our Communications team 231 00:20:03,120 --> 00:20:11,120 and you guys do a fantastic job how long will the 32 dogs be on 232 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:14,799 hold um either until the conclusion of the case or if we're awarded custody 233 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:19,919 prior to the conclusion okay so they could be with us 234 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:25,080 for a year and a half two years um do are any of them evaluated for behavior 235 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:28,840 modification as of right now none of them have been evaluated based on their 236 00:20:26,679 --> 00:20:33,559 behavior U but all of them have been evaluated for medical to make sure that 237 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:37,640 there's nothing uh pertinent to their medical needs at this point U we've had 238 00:20:35,679 --> 00:20:44,080 two dogs that did need um some some additional care um but um the rest of 239 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:48,120 them will eventually uh once custody is transferred to the 240 00:20:46,360 --> 00:20:51,320 shelter uh then we'll begin those Behavior evaluations to see which ones 241 00:20:50,120 --> 00:20:56,480 we might be able to place up for adoption or um you know ideally working 242 00:20:54,880 --> 00:21:01,120 with the rescue to get them transported to to another area mhm 243 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:05,559 okay
