Motion to approve was made by Faith 1st and Tessa 2nd. Motion carried.
Becky Monroe was absent to read the Treasurer's Report. Said report is to be emailed to all members ASAP
according to Becky's email.

cats and 10 dogs. Return to owner 1 dog. Return to us 2: 1 cat/kitten and 1 dog. No special circumstances.

neuters) and 9 dogs (6 spays and 3 neuters). Microchip 11: 9 cats and 2 dogs. No veterans discounts. There
was no Flathead Valley spay/neuter task force. All adoptees are said to be doing good! Faith did a cost analysis
on shots in order to offer Veterans a discount. Currently shot prices are $15. If we offer 1/2 off for Veterans the
price would be $7.50

Fund raising: Eileen reported we will receive a check for about $299. for recycling. She received $13. from Troy
banks. Connie was reported to have gone to the Libby banks. Becky will have the donated amount. Rummage
Sale total was about $1400 via Becky's email. Marge discussed the Bow Wow Bash date in October being as yet
undecided due to Covid. She voiced concern because of the Live and Silent Auction. Marge talked to Linda and
put off the decision for a date until August. Linda previously asked Faith if she would cater. Faith reported Vintage
Collectables is closed so we will try to sell our better rummage sale items online. Beth, Faith and Bonnie will
determine prices and also offer OBO. Any items left over may be offered to Brielle to sell. Bonfire reports we sold
2-3 shirts for a total of $9.21. KPFL will recieve a donation for us to buy a T shirt to have on display for
advertising.

Old business: Eileen wants ByLaws resent for approval. Jeff will make current corrections and resend asap. Beth
will follow-up with phone calls to all members to get individual votes. Calls will be made by July 15th. Confirmation
for each vote will be made at the August monthly meeting.
Dog is My Co-Pilot: we are to receive 3 dogs on July 12th. They are coming from El Paso, Texas. Concern was
voiced regarding buying more Revolution for the out of town dogs. Faith and Becky will discuss cost. All dogs will
arrive vaccinated. A discussion ensued regarding dogs carrying Covid. The results are no reports are conclusive.

New business: Faith reported on the over-all building maintenance.
1. The LED outside lights need replacing.
2. The outdoor cat area needs new plastic. There are 2 sections that need replacing, outside ideas are
welcome.
3. Perimeter gates need securing. Maybe padlocks or chains to make enclosures non-accessible to non-
volunteers.
4. Also we need to address the footing in the outside kennels. The current gravel is hard on the dogs feet.
The possible solutions are pea-gravel or concrete slabs. Pea gravel is $22. per yard. $220 for a truck load which
should be enough. Concrete price is not yet determined. Faith will look into this. Concrete seems to be the easier
of the two for cleaning and maintenance, but more costly.
5. The fencing out back is not secured to the top post. A roll of wire should be sufficient to
secure.
6. Also as a suggestion Faith would like to make an area for possible adoptees to meet the dogs. She suggests a
covered area outside with a roof and sides.
7. In the dog hallway is a desk with tools. It might be better to have shelving there. Materials have been inquired
about and seem inexpensive. Also there are possible dontations of materials by Tom Horelick. Contact needs to be
made.
8. Locate mouse holes and fix.
9. The dog kitchen faucet is
leaking. The best repair would be a new faucet.
10. We need shelving in the bathroom. These items are not
prioritized.

The lady who wants to donate reservation dogs has come and inspected KPFL. She brought us 4 dogs. She
would like to have us donate shots for the dogs. Discussion ensued and we agreed that we would trade shots for
dogs. All dogs coming to us will be vaccinated. Tessa is willing to meet her for pick-up when needed. It was
recommend to place our need for vaccines online for donations. Tessa offered to make a Go Fund Me page for
the reservation dogs vaccines. Motion to approve was made by Bonnie 1st and Tessa 2nd. Motion carried.
Adoption prices were discussed. Average KPFL cost for a male cat is $56.50. Average cost for a 100# male dog
is $119.50. Faith proposes we raise our adoption prices to $50. for cats and $100. for dogs. Beth proposes we
raise our prices to $60 for cats and $125. for dogs. At our next meeting Faith will have a complete breakdown list
of costs. Marge voiced concern about our Sands Grant money if we raise our prices too high. Also because we
are a not-for-profit organization. Faith will investigate more.

The anesthesia machine possibly needs servicing. In order to fulfill the warrenty the only company that can
service the machine is in California. The charge $210 for the service fee and $105 for transportation. Faith called
and asked for a discount. They agreed to reduce the service fee by $15 to $195 and to reduce the transportation
fee by $40. to $65. The machine has not been serviced in 3 years. Beth reports she has not noticed any
malfunction. She and Dr. Disney have changed the filter gravel when needed. Dr. Burt says service is not
needed. It is believed Dr. Conkel and Dr. Griffith both are having their machines serviced. Faith read an extensive
list of inspections that the company will do. It was suggested we agree to the servicing in order to keep the
warrenty valid. Motion to approve was made by Laura 1st and Faith 2nd. Motion carried.

Motion to adjourn meeting was made at 6:37 pm by Bonnie 1st and Beth 2nd. Motion carried.
