Although there weren't many attendees, the architects were able to hear from our community members about what their needs are for a new shelter. We hope to have a design to show the Commission at our next meeting in April. Mid -Year Budget and Staffing At the Mayor and City Council Meeting on March 2, 2022, the following positions were approved: • 6 Part-time Licenses Checkers • RVT (Registered Veterinary Technician) and • Veterinarian HR will be working on the positions and recruitment. We are hoping to have an update on recruitment timelines for you at the next meeting. We have attached a current organization chart so that the Commission may see where these positions are in the Department. The Department is looking forward to welcoming their recent hire and newest ACO on Sunday, March 20'h. She comes to us with experience in the animal welfare industry and is expected to be in training for 2 months until she can be on her own in the field. We are wrapping up a recruitment for the Lead Animal Control Officer and will be conducting interviews the first week of April. We recently finalized interviews for the vacant full time animal shelter attendant position and have extended a job offer. The candidate is in background, which can take up to a month to complete before we have a start date. We are hoping to take over dispatch and all animal related calls to the call center by the end of April. Dispatchers are going on ride alongs with the ACO's and sitting with PD dispatchers as part of their training and preparation for their duties. Western University Collaboration I Beginning on Thursday 3/10/2022, we will ,be transporting 5 animals weekly to Western University in Pomona for Spay/Neuter. This will help us get the current population of pets at the shelter altered.
