The commission’s proposal — drafted using donated funds — would create an outdoor, staff‑supervised exercise area not open to the general public. Commission members discussed possible locations, including next to the memorial garden or a small corner parcel near the shelter, and said the fenced area would be used by shelter dogs for enrichment and to show off off‑leash behavior during adoption meet‑and‑greet evaluations.

Members discussed liability concerns and reiterated that the area would be restricted to shelter dogs and staff or volunteers; commissioners noted a separate public dog park is being developed by another party (referred to in the meeting as \"Pascagone\") and that this fenced area would be strictly for shelter use. The commission moved, seconded and approved sending the proposal to the county commissioners for consideration; the approval was taken by voice vote and individual roll call votes were not recorded in the meeting minutes.

The commission instructed staff to finalize the letter and sign the forwarded proposal for the county commissioners’ review; no final construction contract or funding appropriation was approved at the meeting — those actions would require county approval.","The Carbon County Animal Shelter Advisory Commission voted to send a proposal to county commissioners to consider a fenced outdoor play area for shelter dogs, to be limited to shelter use and funded in part by donations.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6526836,"Commission discusses shed repairs, intermittent roof leak, camera installation and other facility priorities",543,394000,937000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3696379-89305173b836f7ea0242fbe01fed25a2&start=394&end=937","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3696379-89305173b836f7ea0242fbe01fed25a2/thumbnail_394000.jpg","/articles/6526836/Carbon-County/Pennsylvania/Commission-discusses-shed-repairs-intermittent-roof-leak-camera-installation-and-other-facility-priorities","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6526836-ad62022ca2ccbfa6b7095b6473cb6729/orig.mp4?Expires=1775652569&Signature=RqUuLohm-2dlFohWI92ThvWA8SKJg~Gi73ds~PdS5JlxjNzNK7XqLVQk94g6BKMhtnEKF9Aw6wLoH~t6k2Y-0prWZGxcWXOM7vfM5LK-4pgRkB58osbyYQwXMnEMYGiLYlVSGiWe~CRkkecbwXXw6CeLy0YdJaFfNQ8B9rURDIbLsYOUNwBBZJtKMGc1moxLGN6pjqv87KwRY0ek-gUlG1M3QKiMU61cTZK1oe0DDUOU7tEIAOKO9WQmemM5xKW2z0PToXLNuXcFNstVcH6gWdjhGWjf6p8tBj0Xg1TUqEBSVy2P9PH~jw1VtjTVluxhVvunt~7ZfPWoQmMIcNkoiQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At the June 3 Carbon County Animal Shelter Advisory Commission meeting, commissioners discussed a range of facility projects and maintenance needs, including a long‑delayed shed repair, a roof leak that occurs in certain wind/rain conditions, pending security camera installation and the recent order for three remaining kennel doors.

Commission members said $5,000 in donations previously designated for the shed remain available for materials and suggested asking the county commissioners to solicit bids from local contractors so the work can be completed rather than waiting for county maintenance availability. Commissioners noted county maintenance has competing priorities this season, including courthouse repairs, and that a local contractor bid process could accelerate completion.

Commission members reported the roof leak appears during heavier rain and depending on wind direction; the leak has produced a small moldy spot in the ceiling of the kennel area and commissioners said they want that addressed to avoid further deterioration. Security camera contractors have inspected the shelter and a camera installation is pending; staff said they are waiting for installation.

The commission confirmed an order has been placed for the final three kennel doors needed to complete the kennels. Commissioners also discussed a yard‑sale fundraising request that was submitted and, because the county had not yet formally approved the event, the shelter could not advertise the sale until approval was received. Regarding storage, the shelter plans to request another storage unit if the yard sale is approved and to contact the company that lent storage previously.

Separately, commissioners said they submitted information to county commissioners about an Eagle Scout candidate who proposed building a covered donation box outside the shelter to collect after‑hours donations; the commission described prior scout projects as beneficial and expects the county to consider approval.

No formal commission votes were taken on these facility items during the meeting; the matters were discussed for referral to county officials or staff follow‑up.","The advisory commission discussed moving forward with repairs to a shelter shed using donated funds, addressing an intermittent roof leak that is producing mold, scheduling camera installation, ordering remaining kennel doors, and pending requests for yard‑sale storage and an Eagle Scout donation box.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6526837,"Carbon County shelter reports steady adoptions, continued donations; one part-time K‑9 vacancy",201,173000,374000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3696379-89305173b836f7ea0242fbe01fed25a2&start=173&end=374","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3696379-89305173b836f7ea0242fbe01fed25a2/thumbnail_173000.jpg","/articles/6526837/Carbon-County/Pennsylvania/Carbon-County-shelter-reports-steady-adoptions-continued-donations-one-part-time-K9-vacancy","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6526837-5f39c40f9d7640203fd2b5bf2c311595/orig.mp4?Expires=1775652569&Signature=QQp0nSYgTvhYBN1WXZmHAPJQFWHIh49pNJuqI9WlteWp50cfEPuRn8ksLugzX9Chpfj0fVz57ZusS8GPEumawMjE-G30sN6xla98f-2-KNfqYWNH-pyvvCUQ~J2g~a~uAE4RdsnBFpq8ZhwMR8sXzBeQi8gMqlpri8aDHv2a0oCGMAp-TpOoNcKva92P~HE14Rk7e6lREmWD33VO1GYtVKt0KSWgmyFgmGv~O3vjb1IMxGco~893GewxAjxulOt6rj~0ppg6mG~fqartM-MkFsopnDElFKjRG6p~mYERtK9V1qZXL6LaXjIky-ctiogxpZLeiifjZRn9ra~uFeFEtg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At the June 3 Carbon County Animal Shelter Advisory Commission meeting at 44 Susquehanna Street, Tom, the shelter director, reported recent intake, adoption and donation figures and said the shelter is actively recruiting to fill one vacant part‑time K‑9 officer position.

Tom told the commission that for the April reporting period the shelter received $2,736 in donated food — including a large pallet from FreshPak — and reported $20,091 in supplies. The shelter operates 16 kennels; the April report listed 22 dogs at the start of the month and 16 at month’s end, with seven adoptions, one owner surrender and eight dogs returned to owners. The report also listed \"dogs we owned instead of shelter\" as 10.

Tom provided May figures as well: food donations totaled $5,141 (another FreshPak delivery), supplies $2,658, 16 kennels in use, 16 dogs at the start of the month and 15 at the end, nine adoptions, two owner surrenders, four dogs returned to owners and a peak of 18 dogs in care at one time. Police calls and after‑hours calls rose from earlier months; Tom reported 11 police calls and nine after‑hours calls for May.

On staffing, Tom said the shelter continues to have one vacant part‑time K‑9 officer position and that an application has been received; interviews will be scheduled. He also reported work orders in progress for ceiling repairs in the kennel area and awaited installation of recently surveyed security cameras. The commission was told the last three kennel doors needed had been ordered and are expected to arrive.

Commissioners did not take formal action on the items in Tom’s report during the meeting; the director’s updates were provided for the commission’s information.","At its June 3 meeting, the Carbon County Animal Shelter Advisory Commission heard director reports showing recent food and supply donations, steady adoption numbers and one open part‑time K‑9 officer position.","actionData","errors"]
