North Bay Village advisory board renames itself the Animal Welfare Board
Summary
The town's Animal Control Advisory Board voted to rename itself the Animal Welfare Board after a mayoral suggestion; staff was asked to publish the change online.
The Animal Control Advisory Board voted on Nov. 6 to adopt a new name, resolving to be called the Animal Welfare Board going forward.
The chair moved to change the name, saying the new title better reflects the group's focus; Sandra Garcia seconded and members agreed. "I would really like to make a motion to renaming the word as animal welfare board instead of animal control advisory board," the chair said during the meeting. Members asked staff to notify city communications so the new name can be posted online.
The motion followed a suggestion from the mayor (recorded in the meeting as a recommended change). Staff was directed to email Julie to arrange publication of the new name on the city's web and event materials. No formal ordinance or external approval was cited during the meeting; the change will be reflected in the board's public materials and outreach going forward.
Next steps identified at the meeting include updating banners, T-shirts and online listings to reflect the new board name.
