• The county manager’s office did err in not publishing the meeting agenda on the internet or other electronic channels sooner.
• But, the agenda did include what Commissioner De La Cruz had committed to doing in the October 26 meeting (i.e., present a resolution establishing an animal care services ordinance review committee)…see our October 27 blog entry.
• During the public comment period PAWNM spokespeople were visibly upset, berating the Commissioners for what they perceived as inaction because County Attorney Landers didn’t immediately prepare their recommendations as proposed ordinance changes for the meeting…that is not what commissioners committed to on October 26.
• Based on what we’ve learned recently, PAWNM is an overzealous lot that couldn’t care less what others in the community have to contribute if it runs contrary to their agenda. And, they’ve been secretly working with County Attorney Landers to introduce their animal care services ordinance changes at the December 14 commissioner’s meeting along with a new wrinkle, a requirement for trolley permitting. While we’re not big fans of trolleys, we can think a few situations where they may be necessary and with a properly crafted ordinance, there is absolutely no need for permitting.
• Here’s a link to amendments to be introduced…changes to the current ordinance are underlined or struck out…except the trolley permit language which is new…Bernalillo County Animal Care Ordinance Changes-20101214

By the way, following is video from part of the November 9 commission meeting in three segments. Part one is discussion on “late” publication of the agenda. Part two is the public comment period. Part three is discussion of the committee resolution, ultimately deferred until the Tuesday, December 14 meeting…be there at 3pm if you want input into the process. Yes, I said 3pm. According to the November 9 agenda, the December 14 meeting was supposed to begin at 5pm…the change is based on some “bleeping” excuse about a lot of agenda items. Although the commissioners won’t pass the amendments at this meeting…they are subject to a publication and comment period…we look at it as more monkey business by Bernalillo County officials and a lack of desire to hear what county residents with a real day job have to say about this.

At the end of discussion by the group at yesterday’s commission meeting, Commissioner De La Cruz, announced the seating of a seven member committee to review the animal care ordinance. The committee is to be chaired by Pete Dinelli, a former Albuquerque Public Safety Director, one member from each commissioner’s district and Becky Darrow, the animal care services director. The committee is also supposed to include an animal welfare activist, livestock owner/boarder, animal breeder and veterinarian. All committee member recommendations are to be submitted by November 5.

Here’s the video from the commission meeting in two parts. The review committee is announced in the last two minutes of the second video…

The ordinance may need a bit of tweaking, but, among other things, tethering requirements that may require an engineering degree to understand and requirements to feed animals additional food when the outside temperature drops below 40F are overreaching. Many animals are less active in winter and calories that would go toward activity are used to produce heat instead. Bernalillo County may have a lot of fat animals in the spring in a year or two. How will PAWNM want to address that problem? More changes to the ordinance because it once again didn’t meet their perception of the intent of the ordinance? No doubt!

Other things we’re pondering…

• We learned about the agenda item early yesterday afternoon. The agenda was published last Friday. And, it was a surprise to at least two county officials we spoke with yesterday that should have been aware of the agenda item.
• Why didn’t anyone think it was important for Bernalillo County’s Deputy County Manager for Public Safety or Animal Care Services Director to attend this meeting to provide input? We didn’t see them on any of the video segments.
• Why did PAWNM use an Albuquerque animal control officer instead of a county animal control officer in it’s discussion? The needs of county residents, particularly those in rural/semirural areas of the county are different than Albuquerque residents.
• Recognizing all of Bernalillo County’s commissioners are a generally pragmatic and fair-minded group, did Commissioner De La Cruz have a lengthy discussion with staff and commissioners who were involved when the ordinance was passed before seating a review committee? The ordinance went through an exhaustive review over more than a year with many public meetings.
• How productive is it to rehash an entire process because a small noisy constituency is unhappy with the results relative to their interpretation of the intent of the ordinance?
• How much more productive would it have been to have the 25 or so people that spent 2+ hours at the commission meeting and those of us following the issue spend that time on animal care education throughout the county?

People for Animal Welfare of New Mexico and other animal rights and welfare groups have returned with new recommendations for ordinance changes for the Bernalillo County commissioners. The changes they are recommending relate to animal restraint and care and maintenance. A “public” meeting was hosted by Commissioner Brasher on Wednesday night. The term “public” is used loosely due to the short, limited public notice provided for the meeting and the apparent loading of the audience with animal welfare and rights groups. Two people in the audience of about 50 maintain a responsible animal use philosophy. To my knowledge, no responsible animal use organizations (e.g., dog clubs, cat clubs, livestock owner associations) received courtesy notice about the meeting and the meeting was held inside the city of Albuquerque, an area unaffected by the proposed ordinance changes.

For now, here is access to the proposed revisions to allow for your analysis:

Bernalillo County-2010 Proposed Changes.

The pdf file has information in the following order:

• Current Chapter 6-45 – Restraint of Animals – page 1
• Proposed Chapter 6-45 – Restraint of Animals – page 2
• Current Chapter 6-58 – Care and Maintenance – page 3
• Proposed Chapter 6-58 – Care and Maintenance – page 4-6

We’ll be back with comment after gathering additional information. Suffice it to say anyone with a libertarian perspective (i.e., suspicion of coercive authority) should be concerned about quotes like “we know several recommendations are unenforceable” and “animal legislation can’t be fair because it has to address the lowest common denominator”.
