MINUTES OF EXECUTIVE BOARD MEETING

November 25, 2009

The meeting was called to order at 1:00 PM by President Donald Taylor at the Sussex County Emergency Operations Center.

Those members in attendance were Don and Mary Jane Taylor, Erik Anderson and Truman Schrock.

The minutes of the October 28, 2009 meeting had been previously distributed via email and also posted on the web site. There being no additions or corrections, the minutes were approved as posted.

The Treasurer a balance of $1,451.11 in the checking account as of November 25^th. There was no income or expense since the October meeting.

D.A.D.S. participated in the Paws for People Conference in New Castle County on November 21^st. The Power Point presentation on including animals in disaster planning was given and an information table was available.

Because of the diminished request for participation by D.A.D.S. and the lack of volunteers and funding, serious consideration is being given to closing the non-profit and disbanding D.A.D.S. The Department of Agriculture has primary responsibility for animals in disaster planning under their Delaware Animal Response Team.

If D.A.D.S. is still a viable entity in April, consideration is being given to participating in the Ducks Unlimited Green Wing Event at Owens Station.

The next Executive Board meeting will be held on Wednesday, December 23, 2009 at 1:00 PM at the Sussex County Emergency Operations Center.

Respectfully Submitted,

Mary Jane Taylor
