Members

The talk-time ranking for the Animal Control and Welfare Commission is held

Fewer than four members can be compared fairly. Each member’s page has their clips and meetings. The minutes below count only speech we named by voice, so they are floors, not a ranking.

I was curious how the retail bans apply to feeder animals. I hate that term, but Um, can we like make it not like, can feeder animals also be included in that, or is that a separate issue?”

“Voice identified” counts the meetings where we could attribute a member’s voice. A meeting missing there means we couldn’t attribute it, not that they were absent.
Attendance

Roll calls at 6 of 8 meetings, through May 14, 2026

From the clerk’s own record, listed by seat. This is the official attendance record. It is separate from our voice counts, and we don’t compare members on it.
