Background Information:
On December 12, 2018, City Council approved a resolution directing staff to develop an implementation plan to reach a 90% or higher live outcome rate at the San Marcos Regional Animal Shelter. The Pawsitive Outcomes Implementation Plan Committee was formed and spent several months meeting, evaluating potential solutions, and developing the plan to be presented to the San Marcos City Council in June.
During a May 17, 2019 meeting of the shelter’s regional partners (San Marcos, Kyle, Buda, and Hays County), a request was made to form a Budget and Policy Committee so that each entity’s elected officials could discuss the policy and budget implications of the proposed implementation plan.

Appoint one to two Council members to the Budget and Policy Committee.
