He thou�h� it ��ias the case until after he read the Byla�vs. Minu�es mentioned — "A motion was made by Milt Tiede second by Marjorie Cochran-Reep io accept the Sub-Committee Titles presented by Sha�nm Daly. I Moved and passed by the commiitee." This is a �wo part prccess, that's t�e part I lied about. I Now�hat this is approved, a letter goes to the Mayo�, for his approval, �o make a recommend- � dation for sub-committee changes; bylaw wording will not chan�e, just the classification heading. V�/e don't ha�ie to do that. SylaUis state, you can make cnanges to the bylaws by t�nro- thirds voie o�the members; �nihich you already did. Shawn will have Kathie upda�e the changes of the s�anding sub-committees to reflect the proper ones; this does not have �o go to the I Mayor for apnroval.

Shawn said October 27th. There are 55 vendors. ' They �vill be in the audi�orium and craft room. Dorothy �aQ� said there is a problem with dogs in the building. They claim to be service dogs. One small rescued dog is placed on tables �vith its private par�s touching. Tables do not get vvashed do�vn; people are uncomfortable with the dog on the tables in the lunch room. I feel there should be a policy or guideline on service dogs. Shawn explained the situation. Dorothy is correct. We are developing a problem with dogs. V�/e have researched this and cannot other then ask the people if they are a service dog; that is all �ni� can do. li tney tell you they are a service dog then it is considered a service dog; they do , not have to put a collar stating it is a service dog. Law sta�es ii a person says it is a service dog they arz considered a service dog. At�his time �ve have 4-5 service dogs come to our facili�y. That does no� mean a dog should be on a table. That happened last ��ieel<, if I recall, Debbie and Lisa both responded. Discussion continued for about ten minutes. It was moved by Sandy Polley second by Peggy Budziu to have a written policy and guideline on service dogs. Mo�ion carried. Biil Clapp apposed.
