Neighborhood board weighs sponsoring kennel panel at Humane Society to boost civic awareness
Summary
Members discussed spending about $1,200 per year to sponsor a kennel panel at the Humane Society with a QR code linking to board meeting information; Council Member Anderson will check for funding or contract conflicts.
During general business, Board Six members discussed a low-cost outreach idea: sponsoring a kennel panel at the local Humane Society that would include signage and could link via QR code to information about the neighborhood board and meeting times.
A member described the program and said sponsorship costs run about $1,200 a year and can include signage. "They get hundreds of people through there," the member said, arguing the panels would raise awareness of the board and how residents can get involved. Board members discussed whether city rules or a conflict of interest could limit advertising at the Humane Society and asked Council Member Brandy Anderson to review potential conflicts and identify funding options.
Board members suggested the sponsorship could be specific — for example, a panel noting that a particular kennel is sponsored by Board Six with a QR code linking to meeting details. Julia Moreno Fritz proposed asking other advisory boards to contribute to share costs. Staff said an approved blurb about the advisory board could be circulated and added to the meeting record for distribution.
No formal vote or funding decision was made at the meeting; members agreed to have Council Member Anderson check whether the sponsorship would present a conflict and whether funds are available.
