Orozco, Norma <br /> From: Alex Brown < <br /> Sent: Sunday, August 13, 2023 1:41 PM <br /> To: eComment <br /> Subject: Agenda item #13 - August 15 <br /> The city cannot trust OC Animal Care. The shelter just retracted and replaced its 1 st Quarter statistics. Their <br /> statistics page now states: <br /> 'An incorrect version of the 2023 1st Quarter Shelter Statistics report was posted on April 26, 2023. It has been <br /> replaced with the correct information as of 811112023. " <br /> https://ocpetinfo.com/about-us/shelter-statistics <br /> These are the shelter's main statistics. They took action only when an advocate presented iron-clad proof that <br /> the statistics were made up. You can find the details in Voice of OC: <br /> https://voiceo foc.org/2023/08/lawther-oc-animal-care-is-unable-to-keep-track-of-its-animals/ <br /> It's worth asking the county: <br /> - Is it up to ordinary citizens to discover the errors in a county agency's key report and then patiently wait for <br /> dismissive county managers to take the evidence seriously? <br /> - Why should the public trust any numbers put out by the shelter? In most cases, OCAC is unable to back up its <br /> claims with any details, data, or calculations. <br /> - Why are the 2nd Quarter statistics (April-June) not available? (All other area shelters put them out weeks <br /> ago.) <br /> - Is an audit going to be ordered? <br /> - The OCAC Assistant Director(and current interim director) led the production of the wrong statistics. Isn't it <br /> risky to trust her next round of statistics? <br /> i <br />
