Orozco, Norma <br /> From: Michael Mavrovouniotis < <br /> Sent: Monday,June 19, 2023 9:18 PM <br /> To: eComment <br /> Subject: OC Animal Care - Grand Jury <br /> Attachments: Grand Jury with Comments.pdf, OCAC Summary.pdf <br /> I am submitting two short documents on OC Animal Care for distribution to the City Council and inclusion in <br /> the record(along with the text of this message): <br /> A 6-page file "Grand Jury with Comments.pdf' contains comments on the Findings and Recommendations of <br /> the Grand Jury report on OC Animal Care. <br /> A 2-page file "OCAC Summary.pdf' contains a brief assessment of the decline in the performance of OC <br /> Animal Care. This assessment predates the publication of the Grand Jury report, yet reached the same <br /> conclusions. <br /> Compared to 2019,the length of stay for adult dogs has increased by 60%, and the kill rate has increased by <br /> 104%, even though adult dog intakes have decreased by 28%. This drop in performance is concurrent with <br /> changes in animal care and the adoption process: <br /> - Adopters can no longer view available dogs in the kennels. <br /> - Adopters select up to two dogs to visit per appointment by perusing an online photo lineup. <br /> - Play groups for large dogs that were in existence in 2019 have been suspended. <br /> A more detailed report can be found here: <br /> https://app.box.com/s/2Wxbl7kac7wjikyc88519ssjwi5pmt <br /> Newer reports and data can be found on the website OCShelter.com <br /> 1 <br />
