Subject: RE: Tarzana NC Budget Committee Meeting
Harvey, the main thing the Animal Welfare Committee might propose in upcoming budgets will be things that are needed by the West Valley Animal Shelter, which is the Shelter that covers Tarzana. I have discussed that with Len. The issue is that the Shelter that is responsible for Tarzana is located in Chatsworth. So before we propose anything specific, I think we should discuss whether the TNC wants to fund anything for the West Valley Shelter. If that's OK with Len, I would propose that that general question be on the agenda. Thanks. Jeff.
