Eagle Pass animal welfare board members sworn in; Catherine Suarez elected chair
Summary
Newly appointed members of the Eagle Pass Animal Welfare Board took the oath of office and elected Catherine Suarez as chair. The board also nominated a vice chair and completed organizational items before reviewing the ordinance that defines the board’s duties.
Members of the Eagle Pass Animal Welfare Board were sworn in at the start of the meeting, reciting the oath of office and signing required forms that staff said they would notarize.
Catherine Suarez nominated herself for chair and described her background in animal rescue and as “vice president with South Texas Lomability Center.” Suarez said she wanted the board to “stay organized, follow our codes, [and] keep the focus on animal welfare,” and asked for support to lead the group. The nomination was seconded and approved unanimously.
The board then solicited nominations for vice chair. A member nominated “Kina,” and the nomination was seconded and the member was congratulated; the record does not show a roll‑call tally but the nomination carried in the meeting.
City staff reminded the newly sworn members to complete required Open Meetings Act training within 90 days of taking the oath and to avoid discussing board business outside of posted agenda items.
