Once a date and venue are finalized, she will share the details with the Members. Also in April, the DuPage Animal Friends (DAF) Foundation will be participating in this year's DuPage Human Race. Leading up to the event, DAF is raising $10,000.00 to help outfit the new spay/neuter van and purchase other equipment. Ms. Flamion mentioned that the staff have created signs in support for SB2280 (Louie's Law) and are asking volunteers to take pictures of their pets with the sign and submit on the shelter's Facebook page.

Ms. Flamion updated the Committee on the new database project stating that it is moving forward with another product demo already scheduled.
8. Old Business
Member Eckhoff asked about a dangerous dog investigation in his district. Chairman Krajewski asked Brian Gorka, Assistant States Attorney, to provide Member Eckhoff with the case details. Member Noonan enquired about the origin of most animal-related citations/tickets issued. Ms. Flamion stated that the vast majority of tickets are issued by the DuPage County Animal Control Officers (ACO), not the Sherriff’s Department. Chairman Krajewski requested the exact numbers from Mr. Gorka. The fee structure of tickets was brought up as part of this conversation. Ms. Flamion stated that staff are reviewing the current fees and hope to have the proposed changes by the end of March. One of the fees staff is specifically looking at is the dangerous dog declaration citation. Chairman Krajewski asked Amanda Talsma, Administrative Assistant and Committee Secretary, to get the number of dangerous and vicious dog declarations in 2017.
