services and number 26 Nick lockas with
[9:52] South Alabama is here and we can
recognize him at this time
[10:04] good morning good morning how are you
Nick than for opportunity to speak real
[10:09] quickly on this want to answer some
questions about what we
[10:14] doing I guess the question is that
better now oh yeah you can hear me now I
[10:19] can I guess the question is why is this
why are we doing this sure so first big
[10:25] thank you to Jay John and Christina for
helping us look at this we we the
[10:29] university has three let's take you back
to early 1970s when the university took
[10:35] over what was then Mobile County
Hospital which is now University
[10:39] hospital and that time the the hospital
board was created by state law to allow
[10:45] the the county to raise taxes to help
offset some of the uncompensated care so
[10:50] fast forward to today we're continually
for the last three years in a row
[10:54] hitting $1 million a year in
uncompensated care so the funds that
[10:58] come from the hosital hital board help
offset a portion of that that's the
[11:02] Nexus of why it was created the
technical details of what we're trying
[11:07] to fix here is that the university sends
the County Commissioners when for the
[11:12] various six-year terms we nominate
individuals to serve on this board but
[11:17] those nominations come from three
separate University entities one the
[11:21] university Board of Trustees two is the
USA Health Services foundation and three
[11:26] the USA research and Technology
Corporation so the issue is now is it's
[11:31] time for nominations we have names to
bring forward to you to consider however
[11:35] a couple of those entities don't exist
anymore the University of South Alabama
[11:39] Health Services Foundation has been
dissolved so we technically don't have a
[11:44] legal means of nominating someone or
bringing that board together so what
[11:47] this is doing is uh making an amendment
to the Articles of Incorporation so that
[11:52] instead of having three separate
University entities making the same
[11:56] nominations which technically all come
from the board anyways is cleaning up
[12:00] the language to say that we are now the
USA Board of Trustees will send you the
[12:04] nominations going forward instead of
three separate entities underneath us
[12:09] which is the same thing so that's all it
is just a little is that fair
[12:15] Jay SP on accurate makes sense just
clean up language how many how many
[12:20] members are on the
board I'm going to look at John here
[12:24] real quick is it six or
four three it's three so we take I guess
[12:30] we we nominate two for each slot which
why I think it's six and there's three
[12:34] directors so we'll send you two names
and y'all are going to pick one once we
[12:38] make these changes and then they
alternate they're staggered
[12:42] terms all right I won't be here Monday
but y'all know Anna Catherine she'll be
[12:46] here Monday if youall have any
additional questions thank you Nick all
[12:50] right all right thanks thank
[12:55] you item 26 reads as follow adopt

of some attention particularly Bush

and final plat of boutwell Estates off
[15:22] Pine Road and that is what we have for
today I think that's the shortest
[15:26] engineering agenda we've ever had I
think missing a day may have surprised
[15:31] us even though Carrie gave us a heads up
but we'll we'll make it up next time oh
[15:37] sure all
right well thank
[15:44] you do you have any announcements I
don't I just have a couple quick
[15:49] announcements and uh they're all
pertaining to the uh animal shelter so
[15:55] um there's two adoption events this
Saturday best friends n network hosted
[16:00] an adoption event at the shelter from
10: to 2 is that right the time 10 to 2
[16:06] and then I think at pet
supermark on Hill Crest we're hosting an
[16:11] adoption event at the store from 10 to
two and I guess while we're talking
[16:16] about the um animal shelter just want to
say what a great job you guys have done
[16:24] and were doing uh particularly prior to
the event with the Sheriff's Office in
[16:29] the dog fighting um activity that was
going on where we had to take in I think
[16:34] it was 30 something uh dogs that were
involved in that so you guys have really
[16:39] worked diligently I know that uh a lot
of times you get uh some some media
[16:44] coverage that's um I don't like to use
the word fair but undeserving maybe and
[16:51] so I know you guys are really working
hard I was hearing a lot of good things
[16:55] about the uh population of the animal
shelter and and how great you guys were
[16:59] doing out there and then we had this
event which is caused a little hiccup
[17:03] but I think we're catching back up and
um I also want to say that I think we're
[17:08] going to have Sheree you can correct me
but Monday we're going to have a puppy
[17:12] Expedition here at the we're going to
have all the little puppies back so
[17:16] everybody be here for the puppies I love
it when you bring the puppies down to
[17:20] government Plaza did we have Morgan
maybe step up and talk to us a little
[17:25] bit about uh what's been happening with
the shelter I know you've been trying to
[17:29] move some dogs into foster care and to
get them adopted through the these
[17:35] events cuz you're the 32 dogs that you
took in really put a strain on
[17:43] uh I guess the the ability to take dogs
additional dogs so what's what's
[17:50] happening well I will say this uh you
know last summer we had a population
[17:55] that was well over 200 animals out of
the shelter and with staff really uh
[18:02] working hard uh we got that population
down to where we were under our capacity
[18:07] of uh care uh and we were still making
great Headway with moving animals out of
[18:12] the shelter thanks to adoptions uh a new
Foster program that we're still just
[18:16] trying to jump start and get that uh get
that up and running um the best friend
[18:21] Society will be out here this uh
Saturday pushing for more Fosters so
[18:26] they they've assisted Us in in in
boosting some post on social media and
[18:30] we'll be doing what we call a foster
Blitz to get more people excited about
[18:33] fostering and getting animals out of the
shelter um but uh yeah bringing in the
[18:37] 32 dogs has really impacted our ability
to operate um it all all of those dogs
[18:43] take up One Wing of our kennel so that's
about a third of our space um and each
[18:47] one of those dogs uh is in a single run
that uh they have access to both sides
[18:53] um so normally um if we start to get
overpopulated or we get more animals in
[18:58] we can start putting dogs on the other
side of those runs but we are really out
[19:02] of space so we've been really pushing
and asking the public to get involved
[19:06] come out and adopt if you're if you're
ready to to bring a new uh pet into your
[19:10] home um or if you're not ready to bring
it in permanently there's there's Foster
[19:13] options that we have available we also
have over 40 puppies in the shelter
[19:17] right now that could just use some some
extra socialization and time away from
[19:22] the shelter bring all bring all 40 of
them Monday I'll do my I'll do the best
[19:26] I can
I'm kidding just bring it yeah say
[19:31] something real quick so I just want to
thank the shelter staff because
[19:34] everything we've asked for in order to
accommodate media request and to to make
[19:38] things happen with helping move those
dogs they've done and they've done very
[19:42] well and since June 8th we've cycled
about 55 dogs and puppies out of the
[19:47] shelter through foster adoption and
rescue PS yeah and I would I meant to
[19:52] mention to you Sheree you and your staff
for helping Morgan with that I mean it's
[19:57] it's a team effort for sure with animal
shelter and and our Communications team
[20:03] and you guys do a fantastic job how long
will the 32 dogs be on
[20:08] hold um either until the conclusion of
the case or if we're awarded custody
[20:13] prior to the
conclusion okay so they could be with us
[20:17] for a year and a half two years um do
are any of them evaluated for behavior
[20:23] modification as of right now none of
them have been evaluated based on their
[20:26] behavior U but all of them have been
evaluated for medical to make sure that
[20:30] there's nothing uh pertinent to their
medical needs at this point U we've had
[20:35] two dogs that did need um some some
additional care um but um the rest of
[20:41] them will eventually uh
once custody is transferred to the
[20:46] shelter uh then we'll begin those
Behavior evaluations to see which ones
[20:50] we might be able to place up for
adoption or um you know ideally working
[20:54] with the rescue to get them transported
to to another area mhm
[20:59] okay thank
you thank
[21:02] you all right did you have any other
announcements okay okay if there's no
[21:08] further business I guess we'll stand
adjourn
[21:10] until Monday June the 24th for the
Mobile County Commission meeting
