Subject:CITY COUNCIL, GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT (OC Animal Care)
Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana. Use caution when opening attachments or links.
See today’s article at the bottom of this comment.
- You, city taxpayers, paid for the animal shelter’s 2018 Strategic Plan.
- This plan you paid for was not implemented. Instead, the county delivered worse services at higher costs.
- The county passes over 90% of the costs to cities. It’s effectively a cost-plus contract. No matter how wasteful their policies
are, they bill you, and you pay.
- Now they say they want a “new” plan… which you will also pay for.
- They will then ask you to renew your 10-year contract based on this “new” plan, never mind that they didn’t implement the
last one. The “new” plan is just a facade to get you to sign the renewal.
- And once you sign the new contract, they can bury the new plan just like they buried the last one.
Any city that is not exploring other options will end up being at the county’s mercy and will be forced to sign another bad
contract.
A well-managed city won’t with until the last minute, when no options are available.
Tell your city to consider other options NOW:
- Ask the county to let non-profits bid to run the existing shelter (at a lower cost and better services).
- Look at establishing your own shelter, with nearby cities
- Look at local non-profits in or near your city that can bid for this service
We’re about to find out which cities are well-managed, and which are not.

Will Orange County’s Animal Shelter Overhaul its Operations?
https://voiceofoc.org/2025/02/will-orange-countys-animal-shelter-overhaul-its-operations/
Excerpts:
The county-run shelter’s current Strategic Plan, which lays out the facility’s priorities, was created in 2018.
Last year, county leaders launched a process to take input and figure out how they can improve their procedures. The county
issued a call for bids to find a consultant to review the Strategic Plan, identify trends in the animal care industry and facilitate
community engagement.
Only one consultant responded — Citygate Associates, a company that provides services across various local government
functions including police, fire and EMS, community development and administrative services. The group lists animal care as
one of its 15 services offered to local governments.
County spokesperson Molly Nichelson stated in a Friday afternoon email that the contract is currently being finalized and will
not require approval from the Board of Supervisors as long as the total amount is less than $200,000.
Critics spent years calling for a more open shelter, arguing that the shelter’s appointment-based system was decreasing the
number of adoptions while also increasing kill rates.
Michael Mavrovouniotis, an Irvine resident and former shelter volunteer, has been calling for the shelter to follow its 2018
Strategic Plan for years.
“The county bureaucracy wants to spend taxpayer dollars to bring some random consultant to create a ‘new’ plan,”
Mavrovouniotis stated. “They say it’s because of COVID. Do other county agencies have permission to fail at their job — and
use COVID as the excuse?”
He said the shelter doesn’t need a new plan since the previous one was created by leading experts in the field of animal
sheltering.
1
The previous Strategic Plan was created by JVR Shelter Strategies, an animal shelter-focused consultant that works with both
municipal and private shelters.
Mavrovouniotis said shelter officials should roll out the 2018 plan before trying to form a new one.
“If the county is serious about fixing the shelter’s problems, let’s work on implementing the existing Strategic Plan instead of
wasting more time and money.”

Humane Sheltering Science Guide
This new publication, on page 4, lists dog studies… and the very first study cited is the one about
OC Animal Care… showing that kennel viewing boosted adoptions. OCAC’s decision to keep
COVID-era restrictions in place was costly and inhumane. OCAC is now becoming a case study
of what NOT to do.

The city’s contract with OC Animal Care expires on May 30 2026.
Is the city planning for that?
If you have only one option, you’ll get a bad deal.

"Note: The police oversight commission was established in November ‘22. Since then, the city has failed to
prioritize hiring a director for the commission. Without a director, the commission has been rendered useless in
proceeding with the work of investigating police misconduct. Furthermore, questions about when the city will
hire an oversight director have gone unanswered. The city is stonewalling the commission’s progress over 2

Subject:Fwd: Public Comment to City Council (OC Register article on OC Animal Care)
Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana. Use caution when opening attachments or links.
Did you happen to see the article in the OC Register? I've posted the link below, with excerpts, in case you
didn't see it.
Why is the county not applying the Strategic Plan that we, the city taxpayers, have already paid for?
We don’t want any more of our money spent on a worthless “new” plan. And seriously, why sign another 10-
year contract with the county on the basis of a “new” plan, given that they didn’t respect the last one. What
would that do?
If the county wants another contract from the cities, it should promise, in writing, to follow the existing
Strategic Plan we already paid for.
Sincerely,
Karen Vaughn
OC Register: New plan for OC Animal Care: To boost survival, or dampen expectations?
https://www.ocregister.com/2025/02/16/new-plan-for-oc-animal-care-to-boost-survival-or-dampen-
expectations/
Excerpts:
After all, JVR did the 2018 plan for a meaty $435,000; Mavrovouniotis and others don’t understand exactly
why a new plan is needed at all.
“We don’t need a revision of the strategic plan, we need implementation of the one we have,” he said.
The No. 1 goal was this: “Every animal in the shelter receives daily, varied enrichment.” Success meant that
100% of all healthy, friendly dogs were in daily playgroups, and got in-kennel enrichment tailored for their
needs; and that every adoptable cat was taken out of its housing for enrichment at least three times a week, and
that all cats got enrichment tailored for their daily needs.
That hasn’t exactly come to pass. Where are the regular public measures showing progress toward these goals?
Where are the strategies to meet them? Those have been hard to come by, and the shelter’s critics fear a new
update will lead to a weaker, rather than stronger, plan for saving animals.
Boyer suspects that the other organizations knew there’s nothing wrong with the original plan and didn’t bid
because they didn’t think they could do much better. “As a taxpayer, we have already wasted $500,000 on a
strategic plan that was approved already. Why do we have to waste yet more money on a weakened, less
effective plan that is not as thorough and won’t achieve very much at all and will lessen standards at the shelter
further?”
One potential bidder — who was initially excited about the contract — had heard rumors of dysfunction at
OCAC and decided to bow out.
“It seems like they need a lot more than strategic planning there,” said the non-bidder, who asked not to be
named. “A strategic plan is for when you have an idea of where you want to go and you need a road map of
1
how to get there. This sounds like a business that needs an overhaul. A root-cause analysis. We weren’t sure
we’d be able to do a strategic plan update in good faith.”
“A ‘competitive’ bidding process?” Boyer said in a testy Facebook exchange with Foley. “You have ONE bid.
How’s that competitive? Obviously your ‘process’ was custom-made to block competition. None of the
reputable shelter consultants were willing to lower the standards, so you found one that will.”
Another commenter on that post said, “OK, the VERY FIRST metric in the Strategic Plan says: ‘One hundred
percent of all dogs qualified (retention met, healthy, friendly) are in daily playgroups….’ Have the standards
changed? No. If anything, the consensus is even stronger that this type of socialization is super important. Is
OCAC doing this? No. Large dogs have near-zero playgroups.”
The county is using the “update” to delay accountability and lower the standards, that poster said.
Mavrovouniotis, for his part, can’t help but notice that the update comes as the county’s animal services
contracts with 14 cities are set to expire in 2026. Romina Yamashiro noted the same thing.
“Feels familiar.” she said. “My guess? They’re doing this now so they can use it as part of their pitch to the
cities for contract renewal. That’s essentially how they did it 10 years ago, and the timing lines up perfectly.”
Does the county really want a better shelter, critics wonder? We’ll be watching how this all unfolds. Clearly,
others will be, too.
