Hansen listed online resources available to cardholders, including Libby (ebooks and audiobooks), PressReader (newspapers), Morningstar (investment research) and Udemy (instructional videos). She said library branch traffic has been unusually high this summer; the library logged 5,009 visits in a recent week, compared with typical mid‑4,000s weekly traffic, and summer reading participation nearly doubled from the prior year.

Hansen reminded commissioners that the kiosk and digital resources require a library card and that many resources are available around the clock on the library’s website.

Tweddell said Frosted Faces focuses on animals the open‑admission shelter system deems unadoptable because of age, medical or behavioral issues. “Our motto is ‘to love is to act,’” she told commissioners, referencing the group’s emphasis on both rescue and owner support.

Tweddell summarized the organization’s programs: an on‑site open house every weekend, a “seniors for seniors” placement that provides free boarding and a liaison to drive owners to vet appointments, a short‑term “frosted fling” two‑week foster program, a Molly and Me stipend program to place less‑socialized dogs, and a “Final Wish” program to accept pets when owners can no longer care for them.

She said volunteers and a donated van collect animals from shelters that lack resources for medical or behavioral care and that many foster placements become permanent. Tweddell cited historical program figures, including a past report that recorded several hundred rescues in an early 2014 tally, and said the group works with dozens of shelters. She encouraged Encinitas residents to volunteer, donate (the group operates as a 501(c)(3)) or sign up as a $25/month “fan” sponsor for an individual animal. Tweddell also noted an on‑site veterinary program that covers major medical expenses for adopters.

Commissioners asked how Encinitas residents can help without traveling to the ranch in Ramona. Commissioner Hanwit said volunteers in Encinitas have coordinated rides and medication pickups by posting on neighborhood social media; Hanwit said she received quick offers from residents willing to pick up medication on short notice.

Tweddell closed by reminding commissioners that Frosted Faces holds open house hours Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and weekly hikes on Sunday mornings at 8 a.m., and that the rescue is based in Ramona.

The presentation did not request formal action by the commission.","Shirley Tweddell of Frosted Faces Foundation told the Encinitas Senior Citizen Commission about rescue, hospice and owner-support programs for senior pets, volunteer opportunities and local pickup/medication assistance for Encinitas residents.","actionData","errors"]
