8. Administrative Update
Laura Flamion, Operations Manager, and Dr. Barbara Hanek, Administrator Veterinarian, informed the Committee that the new Animal Control Officer (ACO), Jason Pounds, started full time on Monday. This brings the shelter up to full staff for the first time in over 2 years. Dr. Hanek also discussed recent training attended by the ACO staff and herself at Willowbrook Wildlife Center. Animal Care & Control receives many calls regarding wildlife and staff are working on proactive communications for the public including tips on what to do and who to contact.
Ms. Flamion let the Committee know that the department is up to date on processing the Rabies Certificate remittances received from area Veterinarians. Due to short staffing, the shelter had fallen behind in remittances. Animal Care & Control has been working with both internal staff and with the Auditor Department to determine best practices and establish essential controls going forward.
Dr. Hanek updated the Committee on the new spay/neuter vehicle. It has been ordered and she is working with the manufacturer on the external wrap design. Animal Care & Control also continues to work with Animal Arts and the County's Architects on the new Phase II shelter design.
