Use caution when opening attachments or links. <br /> <br /> <br />The city uses the county animal shelter (OC Animal Care), and the taxpayers pay dearly for the privilege. <br /> <br />The shelter has a Strategic Plan that taxpayers cost the taxpayers $400,000. Is it using it? No, it’s <br />thrown it out of the window: <br />https://voiceofoc.org/2023/09/mavrovouniotis-how-to-fix-oc-animal-care-use-the-strategic-plan/ <br /> <br />Instead, it wants YOU, the taxpayer to pay a few hundred thousand dollars for a new one. It’s already <br />put this out to bid. Any day now they’ll approve a wasteful contract, and you’ll be on the hook. <br /> <br />The city council shouldn’t let this happen. They should tell the shelter that the city ALREADY PAID for a <br />Strategic Plan, and the shelter should just use it. <br /> <br />This is all just an excuse to cover up the misdeeds of incompetent county managers: <br />https://voiceofoc.org/2024/09/mavrovouniotis-the-oc-animal-shelter-director-is-all-image-and-no- <br />substance/ <br /> <br />Better yet, we should get a non-profit humane society to run the shelter. That’s what this OC Register <br />column says, and I agree with it: <br />https://www.ocregister.com/2024/09/24/county-managers-failed-our-animal-shelter/ <br /> <br />And that’s not the half of it. Here’s a complete rundown of the shelter’s problems: <br />https://www.ocregister.com/2024/09/24/county-managers-failed-our-animal-shelter/ <br />1 <br />
