ITEM ONE: Quarterly Financial Report
Patty Holland, City of Gallup’s Chief Financial Officer informed the Board Members that
the Animal Control Quarterly Report included data from the fourth quarter of fiscal year
2018. She explained how it was an unaudited yearend report that she didn’t expect to
have any audit adjustments. For the fiscal year 2018 Animal Control underspent on
their budgeted wages and overspent on their overtime. Board Member Holland
explained how that was due to an employee vacancy whereas money had to be shifted
around to accommodate their needs. She also spoke about how the budgeted utilities
were underspent and conveyed the difficulty in predicting those amounts each year.
Overall Animal Control’s operating budget was right on track where they spent just
under what was anticipated for fiscal year 2018.
At the next meeting Board Member Holland will present a report for the current quarter
that just ended. Board Member Holland spoke about how the current budget’s (FY
2019) professional services account needed to be adjusted to move forward with the
Gallup McKinley County Animal Control Authority Meeting
October 9th, 2018 Minutes

animal shelter feasibility study. She explained how there would be a budget increase
request of $9,800 to be presented before City Council to cover the final quotes received
from vendors.
Board Member Moore clarified that the quarterly report presented this afternoon was
the yearend budget for fiscal year 2018, which had ended June 30, 2018. Board
Member Holland stated that was correct.
Motion was made by Board Member Moore to accept the quarterly financial report
(yearend budget for fiscal year 2018). Seconded by Board Member Rowberry. Motion
Carried.
Upon roll call, the following votes were:
Billy Moore (Yes)
Dorie Rowberry (Yes)
Patty Holland (Yes)
ITEM TWO: Discuss recommended revisions to the City of Gallup Animal Control
Ordinance
Cosy Balok, Animal Control Coordinator spoke about how she wanted to revise the City
of Gallup Animal Control Ordinance for consistency and clarity. In section 5-3-44
Keeping Domesticated Livestock and Fowl she recommended the following changes:
1. Change the permitted zoning districts from Rural Residential (RR) and Single
Family (RS1) to Rural Residential (RR) and Single-Family Residential (SFR)
Cosy spoke about how the Planning Department recently adopted a new Land
Development Standards, which had new zoning designations. Changing the zoning
districts in the ordinance will fix the inconsistency and confusion as to where
chickens are permitted. For instance chickens aren’t permitted in mobile home
parks or apartment complexes, but are permitted in single family residential zoning
districts. Curtis Hayes, City Attorney added that there were previously two (2)
single-family zoning districts, which have now been combined into one (1) zoning
district. That consolidation has consequently expanded the single-family residential
zoning district areas whereas more residences will be allowed to have chickens.
2. Remove the term “hens” throughout the section and replace with the term
“backyard chickens”.
Board Member Moore stated that he noticed in section 5-3-44-C.1. it stated that
roosters were prohibited. He thought that “chicken hens” clarified it better because
when they use the term “roosters” it was confusing. There was a discussion between
the Board Members and staff about using different terms such as, chickens, chicken
hens, roosters and backyard chickens. Clyde (C.B.) Strain, Planning & Development
Gallup McKinley County Animal Control Authority Meeting
October 9th, 2018 Minutes
Page 2 of 8
Director clarified that the term “hen” referred to a female chicken whereas the term
“rooster” referred to a male chicken. Being that the ordinance prohibits roosters the
correct term to use throughout the ordinance is “hens.” The Board Members agreed
to use the term, “chicken hens” throughout the ordinance.
3. Change the permit requirements and remove the fees.
Cosy spoke about how most communities don’t require a chicken permit nor charge
a permit fee. However, Gallup Animal Control will continue to require a chicken
permit, but not charge a fee. Requiring chicken permits would enable Animal
Control Officers to educate chicken owners of the ordinance rules and requirements.
For example, how many square feet per chicken and cleaning coop requirements.
Mr. Hayes added that the chicken permit would be a one (1) time application, free of
charge that wouldn’t have to be renewed on an annual basis unless they changed
locations.
In section 5-3-34 Animals Transported in Vehicles the following changes were
recommended:
1. Remove “ambient temperature” and replace with “interior temperature of the
vehicle” for clarity purposes.
Cosy stated that over the past summer they had several cases of animals being left
unattended in vehicles where officers had to break windows to rescue them. She
spoke about how the term “ambient temperature” was often contested by animal
owners because it actually meant the outside temperature. However, the outside
temperature doesn’t matter as much as the inside of the vehicle temperature. An
animal can’t be in a certain temperature of the inside of a vehicle. Cosy
acknowledged how that revision would help Animal Control Officers to better
enforce the ordinance and help the animals without getting much push back from
animal owners.
2. Create a new subsection for “Driving Recklessly or While Intoxicated.”
Cosy spoke about how the Animal Control Officers were often called out for DWI
cases where animals had to be picked up. The ordinance never specified anything
about that whereas the proposed ordinance does so they can cite people for driving
intoxicated with their animals.
Board Member Moore asked for clarification on the penalties of section 5-3-34
Animals Transported in Vehicles. Cosy explained that when an owner retrieved their
animal after being detained they would be given a citation for driving recklessly or
intoxicated with an animal. Board Member Moore recommended adding that
citation or penalty information to the ordinance. Mr. Hayes noted how the penalty
fee would be a standard misdemeanor count of three hundred dollars ($300.00) or
ninety (90) days in jail. Cosy added how there would also be an impounding and

October 9th, 2018 Minutes

boarding fee in addition to the citation fee. Mr. Hayes explained how there was a
different section that gave Animal Control Officers the authority to impound
animals, which was not included in their agenda packets because that section was
not being revised. The Board Members agreed to add a notation in section 5-3-34
Animals Transported in Vehicles to reference section 5-3-9-C for additional fees.
Board Member Moore spoke about the importance of clarifying the ordinance so it
was easier for all parties to interpret.
C.B. explained that the Board Member’s recommendation would be presented to City
Council whereas City Council would make the final decision to approve the ordinance
amendments.
Motion was made by Board Member Holland for a positive recommendation of staff’s
recommended revisions along with the Board Member’s two (2) revisions to the City of
Gallup Animal Control Ordinance. Seconded by Board Member Moore. Motion
Carried.
Upon roll call, the following votes were:
Patty Holland (Yes)
Billy Moore (Yes)
Dorie Rowberry (Yes)
ITEM THREE: Information about the Navajo Nation Animal Control closing their
Fort Defiance facility and the effect it will have on the Gallup Animal
Control Shelter
Cosy Balok, Animal Control Coordinator spoke about how many Navajo Nation
residents were coming to the Gallup shelter frustrated that the Navajo Nation animal
shelters were closing their facilities. Cosy contacted Honorable, Edmund Yazzie who
had previously instructed her to contact him when she had any complaints regarding the
Navajo Nation. Mr. Yazzie was able to get Glenda Davis, Navajo Nation Animal Control
Director to contact Cosy. Ms. Davis informed Cosy that they weren’t closing their
shelters, but would only be open two (2) days a month to receive animals. Cosy
explained to Ms. Davis how the Navajo Nation’s limited hours put a burden on the
Gallup shelter. Cosy gave the Board Members a copy of the Navajo Nation schedule that
Ms. Davis sent her as to when each facility would be open (a copy is attached hereto,
marked as Exhibit A and made a part of these official minutes.) Thereafter Mr. Yazzie
setup a meeting in Window Rock, but was cancelled the night before the meeting
because Ms. Davis was unable to attend. Since then no other efforts or contact has been
made to resolve the ongoing issue of receiving animals from the Navajo Nation.
Cosy reviewed the Animal Control Statistics (Page 3-1) with the Board Members, which
displayed data from January to September 2018. So far this year they’ve taken in a total
of three thousand and thirteen (3,713) animals whereas fourteen thousand and sixty
(1,460) came from the Navajo Nation, thirteen thousand and fifty-five (1,355) from the
Gallup McKinley County Animal Control Authority Meeting
October 9th, 2018 Minutes
Page 4 of 8
City of Gallup and eight-hundred and ninety-eight (898) from McKinley County. She
also wanted to emphasize to the Board Members how overwhelmed her staff has been
with the massive amounts of incoming Navajo Nation animals. During five (5) business
days from September 29, 2018 to October 4, 2018 the Gallup shelter took in a total of
ninety-five (95) animals whereas fifty-six (56) were from the Navajo Reservation,
twenty-eight (28) from the City of Gallup and eleven (11) from McKinley County. In
September 2018 the Humane Society completed twenty-two (22) trips to transport out
two hundred and ninety-five (295) animals whereas the Humane Society has spent
eighteen thousand dollars ($18,000.00) to cover the cost. Cosy stated that as of 1:00
p.m. today they stopped accepting all animals because they were at full capacity. The
Humane Society is working tirelessly to transport the animals out, but they’re coming in
faster than they can possibly transport them out. It’s creating a huge burden on the
Gallup shelter and the Humane Society to handle massive amounts of Navajo Nation
animals and in turn they have to turn away City and County animals.
Cosy spoke about how they’ve reached out to the Navajo Nation on numerous occasions
to address the issue with no results whereas she doesn’t know what to do. Her only
suggestion would be to start turning Navajo Nation residents away and referring them
to the Farmington or Flagstaff shelters. Cosy noted how many of the Navajo Nation
animals brought in were actually from Arizona whereas the Gallup shelter was
ultimately taking care of animals from out of state.
Chairwoman Menapace asked Cosy what Mr. Yazzie thought about the issues that were
brought to his attention. Cosy stated that Mr. Yazzie acknowledged their situation and
very much wanted to help find a solution, however it’s difficult when arranged meetings
don’t go through. Cosy mentioned how Ms. Davis had previously informed her that all
the Navajo Nation animal shelters were in terrible condition.
There was a discussion between the Board Members and staff about how the Navajo
Nation didn’t seem to have a desire to find a solution.
Clyde (C.B.) Strain, Planning & Development Director stated that it wasn’t a matter of
not wanting to help the animals or do the right thing; it was about the amount of
resources and the size of the facility that the Gallup shelter was limited to. C.B.
emphasized how the Navajo Nation was putting a burden on Gallup tax payers because
they have to pay for animals that aren’t even from New Mexico. C.B. asked the Board
for guidance on the ongoing issue. C.B. stated that the bottom line was that the Gallup
shelter couldn’t continue to accommodate everyone and with the Board Member’s
approval they would like to turn away all the Navajo Nation animals.
Board Member Holland stated that it would get quite ugly if they did stop accepting
Navajo Nation animals. She stated that it was a hard argument to make that Navajo
Nation residents weren’t contributing as much taxes to Gallup as everyone else. C.B.
stated that they couldn’t handle it anymore with only having four (4) Animal Control
Officers, a small facility and no money. Cosy added how the numbers were getting
worse by the day whereas the Human Society was working tirelessly to transport
Gallup McKinley County Animal Control Authority Meeting
October 9th, 2018 Minutes
Page 5 of 8
animals out so they wouldn’t have to euthanize them. Cosy praised her facility for being
a no kill shelter and how they wanted to maintain that goal.
There was a discussion between the Board Members and staff about how the spaying
and neutering programs would benefit the Navajo Nation.
Board Member Holland spoke about how a larger animal shelter facility wouldn’t solve
their problems because they would still deal with the same issues. Cosy stated that the
Navajo Nation needed to be held accountable; being open two (2) days a month was
ridiculous. Cosy commented how contributing financially also wouldn’t help their
problems.
Board Member Holland stated that the decision to accept/not accept animals from the
Navajo Nation would need to be made by the official leaders.
Board Member Moore stated that he agreed with everything that was stated; the Navajo
Nation was not going to step up. He continued by stating that the only other option was
to pursue different alternatives. Board Member Moore spoke about the difficulty in
identifying Arizona residents because many New Mexico residents register vehicles with
Arizona.
Cosy commented that if Navajo Nation residents complained to their own government
she felt that something could be done. Board Member Moore stated that problems with
the Navajo Nation aren’t only with animal control, but with their roads, healthcare and
other aspects of their government.
Board Member Holland stated that their recommendation would affect their elected
leaders on both the City and County side. She recommended that a presentation be
brought before both the City Council and County Commissioners to receive feedback
and direction instead of the Board making the decision.
Board Member Rowberry commented that as hard as it sounded the Gallup shelter’s
responsibility was actually to Gallup.
Board Member Holland stated that before they made a decision they needed to ensure
that all the leaders were behind them so they could make a unified decision. She
acknowledged that there were no short-term answers to the issue. C.B. stated that
Animal Control would continue to do what they’ve been doing and in the meantime
would try to get on the City Council and County Commissioner’s agenda.
Motion was made by Board Member Holland to present the item to the City Council and
the County Commissioners for guidance. Seconded by Board Member Rowberry.
Motion Carried.
Upon roll call, the following votes were:

ITEM FOUR: Present inspection findings of the Jordan World Circus event that took
place on September 13, 2018 at Red Rock State Park
Cosy Balok, Animal Control Coordinator updated the Board Members about the findings
of the Jordan World Circus. She spoke about how the City Manager received complaints
from various groups that the animals were being abused. However, from what the
Animal Control Officers observed during the event none of the animals were being
abused. Cosy explained how they examined the animals and verified that their required
USDA permits were up-to-date. A majority of the animals were family owned animals
where each animal performed less than ten (10) minutes; all the animals seemed to be
very well taken care of. Cosy mentioned how last year PETA was told that if they wanted
to prevent the animals from performing at the circus they had to bring it before City
Council, which never happened.
Chairwoman Menapace asked the Board Members if they had any questions. There
were none.
Open Floor:
Board Member Holland again spoke about the animal shelter feasibility study and
reassured the Board that she would keep them updated as the project moved forward.
Motion was made by Chairwoman Menapace to adjourn meeting. Seconded by Board
Member Moore. Motion Carried.
Upon roll call, the following votes were:
Cherry Menapace (Yes)
Billy Moore (Yes)
Patty Holland (Yes)
Dorie Rowberry (Yes)

From: Cosy Balok, Animal Control Coordinator
Subject: Animal Control Statistics for 2018
Discussion:
Animal Control has provided a variety of statistics from January to December 2018 for the GMCAC
Authority Board to review.
Every month data is compiled to get an accurate number of incoming animals. Those numbers are then
broken down into how many were neutered or spayed and eventually adopted, transferred, reclaimed,
euthanized, etc. Also there is a count of how animals are received (picked up by officers and dropped
off) by City, County and Navajo Nation clients.
The Incoming Animals line graphs for 2018 and 2017 demonstrate a comparison from the previous year.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: January 4, 2019
To: Gallup McKinley County Animal Control Authority Board
From: Clyde (C.B.) Strain, Planning & Development Director
Subject: Budget Increase Request to Purchase Bullet Proof Vests
Discussion:
Animal Control is requesting an operating budget increase in the amount of $3,000.00 to purchase bullet
proof body armor and outer carriers. Various vendors have been contacted to obtain quotes whereas
the best value was from Galls. Please see the attached quote where each Animal Control Officer’s bullet
proof set will cost $588.99. There are currently four (4) officers under Animal Control and one (1) officer
vacancy; total of five (5) sets requested. The Animal Control Officers have been dealing with an
increased amount of hostile clients whereas the bullet proof vests will ensure their safety.
The Board’s recommendation will be presented to City Council on Tuesday, January 22, 2019 for final
approval.
