On June 1, 2021, the Council approved three of its members to serve on a subcommittee for the purpose of reviewing 2021 board applicants. A need was identified by this subcommittee to update the application form, review each board's purpose, objectives and goals as well as to standardize all the boards/committees within the City of Saginaw to improve communication and efficiency and compliance with our ordinances.  

Revisions to Ordinance No. 2009-08 that established the Animal Shelter Committee are being presented for consideration for adoption. The modifications include: 

- increasing members from five to nine alleviating the need to cancel board meetings due to lack of quorum. The four additional members will be citizens. 

- end of term changed from June 1 to July 1 to coincide with other committee appointments

- added training requirement

- require the election of a chairperson, vice-chairperson and secretary from the citizen members

- presentation of recommendations to City Council

- presentation of an annual report at a City Council Meeting

- post agendas, minutes, and attendance on the committee page of the City of Saginaw Website
