The Strategic Plan should be Front and Center <br />One would think that the Strategic Plan would be prominently displayed on the shelter's <br />website. It is nowhere to be found. It was procured only by a PRA. Is this a rather implausible <br />oversight, or did OCCR hide the Strategic Plan because they did not intend to abide by it? <br />The Strategic Plan has spent too much time in the shadows. We plan to look at its provisions <br />in detail, and a future report will document all the shortfalls in shelter practices. <br />In the meantime, the only way to return to a well -functioning animal shelter and restore the <br />trust of the community is for the Strategic Plan to regain its rightful prominent role. <br />The Board of Supervisors can remedy the situation by: <br />- Confirming that the Strategic Plan approved in 2018 is still valid. <br />- Instructing County staff to take steps towards its rapid implementation. <br />Among other implementation steps, OCAC should: <br />- address the socialization needs of dogs by instituting daily playgroups for small dogs and <br />large dogs, as set forth in the strategic plan. It should commit to socializing the majority of <br />large dogs. It should meticulously document this activity. <br />- return to the freer pre -pandemic adoption procedures for most of its hours of operation. The <br />kennel area should be open to visitors a minimum of 4 days a week, including one weekend <br />day. <br />OCAC BOS-Approved 2018 Strategic Plan - Page 4 of 4 <br />
