Update to Commission on Animal Services DATE: July 13, 2022 Staffing We are hosting interviews this month for 4 Animal Shelter Attendant positions that were added to the Department through State grant funding. These positions are being paid for by the grant for 2 years. At the end of the grant period, we will evaluate our staffing levels and need for the positions moving forward. We will be interviewing candidates for the vacant Animal Control Officer (ACO) position at the end of this month. Once this ACO is hired and completes training, the Department will have a total of 5 Animal Control Officers and 1 Lead Animal Control Officer to serve Residents of the City. Conferences and Training We've been able to send more staff to training on current practices in Animal Welfare. Recent conferences and training are as follows: Chameleon (Shelter software) Conference o Shelter Supervisor, Leslie Walker attended. We are working to add new reports to our system to assist staff in streamlining our daily tasks • All ACO's and Customer Service staff attended a training session on dispatching animal welfare calls and how to improve communications between the field officers and call takers Kris Watson was able to attend the Best Friends National Conference from July 6th-July 9th. The conference included classes on expanding Community Outreach, increasing foster capacity and hiring/retaining veterinary staff. This conference records all sessions and makes them available to the attendees and staff after the conference. Once the recordings have been received, additional staff and volunteers will be able to attend trainings we schedule at the shelter. Our Animal Control Commission members are also welcome to view any training sessions should they wish to. Facility Update We finalized fencing around the campus last week. We replaced the old wooden fence by the cat room with a chain link privacy fence that can be closed during regular business hours and locked at night to fully secure the campus. We also added a gate at the end of our quarantine kennels to bolster safety for staff and other animals. We will be having a concrete pad installed at the shelter to be used to park and securely house the mobile veterinary unit when it arrives. The concrete pad will be located outside the main shelter receiving area and will be adjacent to the morgue. The City closed the RFP for alarm and video surveillance services at the shelter last month. We will be selecting a contractor and hope to have the agreement before the Mayor and City Council for approval in August. Neighborhood Association Meetings The Department will be attending the Northpark Neighborhood Association meeting on Thursday, August 11, 2022 from 6:30-8:OOPM.
