Speaker - Charlotte Laws briefly about history of the no kill shelter movement. 

1. AB 1634 - Mandatory Spay Neuter for dogs and cats in California, sponsored by assemblyman Lloyd Levine.

2. Change of number of animals per property - do we want our councils to pass something? It will changed to 4 dogs or 5 cats. Push for no limits on animals? Or? Possible motion and vote. 

3. Vets that have voucher privileges that need to know the proper medical information re FIV so that they do not give orders to kill cat - Sherman Oaks DAW Marlene Goodman.

3. Tangible goals for the DAWs for 2007 - Possible motions and vote. These are some ideas:

A. Make a list of all meetings DAWs attend (NC, City council, Commission, etc.)
B. Short statement that all politicians, NCs and DAWs can sign onto... Companion animal is a lifetime commitment, spay/neuter, adopt from the shelter.
C. Educational DVD program for schools
D. Resources on the DAW website
E. Pass three pieces of legislation through NCs. Or support / oppose one law
