be interested in reappointment. However, without being able to know that for certain, Committee of the Whole recommended that we defer Resolution 8981 -18. Finally, Resolution 8987 -18 — our discussion of this spans several Committee of the Whole meetings including those listed in my other reports of February 5th and February 261h However, we continue that discussion this evening. We did move forward with the change that was made earlier to increase the number. So now we have seven members appointed by Council and six members appointed by the administration. Councilmember Bullock offered an amendment regarding subject matter experts. After discussion, that amendment was further amended and then subsequently recommended for adoption. So, Committee of the Whole concluded this evening by recommending adoption of Resolution 8987 -18 as amended. That amendment includes a reference to subject matter experts but does not define a specific number of them or method for appointment at this time. With respect to the February 26th meeting of Committee of the Whole, I will not attempt to recount in their entirety the discussions with respect to the City's dog ordinance and related animal safety and welfare ordinances. However, we did have a very thorough discussion of those issues. Present were representatives from the Animal Safety and Welfare Advisory Board as well as the Cleveland APL. We also had Officer Hearn, one of Lakewood's animal control officers as well as members of the administration present. We had discussion on a number of points related to those ordinances, including discussions related to tethering as well as scale -able penalties and other issues. We will continue those discussions at our next scheduled Committee of the Whole meeting which is a week from tonight, Marchl2th. It was also requested that Councilmembers, who, in the interim have changes that they are going to be proposing or would like to see, email those to our Law Director, Assistant Law Director, myself, or Mary Hagan. With respect to our Committee of the Whole meeting on February 5th 2018,1 will move to defer that report this evening but I move to receive and file the oral reports given tonight on the February 26th and March 5th meetings. Motion by Mr. O'Leary, seconded by Mr. Anderson to receive and file the oral reports given tonight on the February 26th and March 51h meetings and to defer the February 5th report. Motion adopted.
