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.

EXTERNAL] Fwd: Request removal of Chief of Police RICK ARMENDARIZ ( no control of illegal fire works on 4th of July 2024)
Warning: This email originated from outside the City of Anaheim. Do not click links or open attachme nts unle ss you recognize the sender and are expecting the message.
I respectfully request the removal of Anaheim Chief of Police, Rick Armendariz. Chief Armendariz had no control over the City of Anaheim on the 4th of July 2024, even after several months of planning, and caused our city to be placed into dangerous and fire- hazardous conditions. I request his removal immediately. His team, after months of prep and training for the 4th of July 2024, along with Anaheim Fire, failed our city and placed all of us in danger.
I am in receipt, and have reviewed, the 20 PAGES ( est 30- 40 calls per page) of Fireworks Complaint Calls for the ENT IRE city of Anaheim to Anaheim Police from WED 7/ 3 - SUN 7/ 7, 2024. All Calls from my tract in District 1, 92804 to Anaheim Police Dispatch were CANCELED, other than one of which officer( s) stated they saw nothing ( July 4th).
Anaheim Police and Anaheim Fire ignored all of the pre- 4th illegal fireworks concerns that were placed online on their website devoted to this issue. Yet now the Anaheim Fire Department has no records, not even the concerns added to their own website? As well, the majority of Fireworks call complaints throughout the entire city were CANCELED!
On July 18, 2024 Anaheim Deputy City Attorney, Bryn M. Morley, responded to me in writing via a USPS- mailed letter. The letter states that my public request for records pertaining to illegal fireworks had been received but, " Despi te a di li gent search, the Anaheim Fire & Rescue Department was unabl e to locate records that fall within the scope of your ( my) request." I offered surveillance footage of what had occurred directly around my home, but APD never requested to view my videos. I placed a Code Complaint and also offered copies of the videos showing proof of what transpired and was told by Code since it is after the fact, there is no action which they can take.
I request the City Council to ask for an investigation and agendize for the Chief of Police and the Anaheim Fire Chief to explain WHY they had absolutely NO CONT ROL on the 4th of July 2024, during a city council meeting! Of 20 PAGES, with an estimated 30- 40 complaints per page of city- wide complaints, APD issued only 28 citations!!!!!!!
I would like to know WHO funded the illegal fireworks website that apparently no one was monitoring. Was this also at the taxpayer' s expense? WHO funded all of this so- called months and months of training and prep for APD and Anaheim Fire to be prepared to handle illegal fireworks on the 4th of July, us taxpayer' s? It appears this city, police and fire continue to abuse our taxpayer funds. Where is all of our money going?????????????????????????????????????????
This is TOTALLY UNACCEPT ABLE!
COMPLETE FAIL!

Good afternoon and thank you for the opportunity to speak. My name is Kelly Hogencamp and I am a 26- year resident of Anaheim, the City of Kindness. My children were born and raised here, my husband works for AUHSD, we own a home here, and pay taxes here. I live, shop, and play here. Anaheim is home and I' m grateful fo this city' s character, resilience, and opportunity. I' m writing today to voice my concerns about how the chaos, hostility, and cruelty of the Trump administration are being carried out locally, and ask that the City Council take concrete action to protect our community from harassment and fearmongering.
The ongoing executive orders issued by the president make sme question if rights afforded to me and fellow Anaheim residents are secure. I hear words like " round ups," " purges,", " mass deportations" and really there' s just one historical precedent that comes to mind with this language. And that precedent was established with a failed artist democratically elected to the highest office in 1933 Germany. I want assurance from my local government and law enforcement that the City of Anaheim, the Anaheim Elementary School District, Anaheim Union High School District, Anaheim Public Libraries, and all other city entities will not be complicit in any federal actions that are hostile to people, ideas, and values in my community. Can you provide this assurance? Can ensure that the residents of this city have protection from the lawlessness and cruelty inflicted by this administration?
Last week my colleague shared that her college- aged son was stopped at an ICE checkpoint in Anaheim the previous week while he was driving a friend to the airport. She added: " Well, my son and his girlfriend have darker skin, they' re both Hispanic." This left me sick and speechless. Are we now a society where we' ll be expected to " carry papers" to show ICE agents that we' re here legally? It is not hyperbolic to think " identity papers on demand" harkens back to humanity' s darkest hour in Nazi Germany.
Besides being obnoxious, imagine how ICE checkpoints throughout Anaheim will dampen the image of this city. How to explain to out- of- town visitors at Disneyland, the Honda Center, Angels Stadium, OC Vibe, how best to prepare for their stay in Anaheim: bring a birth certificate because you' ll be questioned if your skin is any shade darker than milk. We' ll be lucky if we even have tourists anymore, what with tariffs, bullying, and lashing out at friends and allies near and far.
Is the City of Anaheim and its institutions prepared to stand up to this assault on decency and community? I ask that you take this serious because MY Anaheim, my friends, my neighborhood, and my community are worth the effort.
Thank you,
Kelly Hogencamp
Anaheim Resident, Dist. 5

See today’ s artic le at the bottom of this comment.
You, c ity taxpayers, paid for the animal shelter’ s 2018 Strategic Plan.
This plan you paid for w as not implemented. Instead, the c ounty delivered worse services at higher c osts.
The county passes over 90% of the costs to c ities. It’ s effectively a c ost- plus c ontrac t. No matter how w as teful their polic ies are, they bill you, and you pay.
Now they say they w ant a “ new” plan… whic h you will also pay for.
They w ill 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 onc e you sign the new c ontrac t, they can bury the new plan just like they buried the last one.
Any city that is not exploring other options w ill end up being at the county’ s mercy and will be forc ed to sign another bad c ontrac t.
A well- managed city w on’ t w ith until the last minute, when no options are available.
Tell your city to consider other options NOW:
Ask the c ounty to let non- profits bid to run the existing shelter ( at a lower cost and better servic es).
Look at establishing your ow n shelter, with nearby c ities Look at loc al non- profits in or near your city that can bid for this servic e We’ re about to find out whic h c ities are w ell- managed, and w hich are not.

Will Orange County’ s Animal Shelter Overhaul its Operations? https:// voic eofoc . org/ 2025/ 02/ w ill- orange- c ountys- animal- shelter- overhaul- its- operations/ Excerpts:
The county- run shelter’ s current Strategic Plan, which lays out the f acility’ s priorities, was created in 2018.
Last year, county leaders launched a process to tak e input and f igure out how they can improv e their procedures. The county issued a call f or bids to f ind a consultant to review the Strategic Plan, identif y trends in the animal care industry and f acilitate community engagement.
Only one consultant responded — Citygate Associates, a company that provides serv ices across various local gov ernment f unctions including police, f ire and EMS, community development and administrativ e services. The group lists animal care as one of its 15 serv ices of f ered to local gov ernments.
County spokesperson Molly Nichelson stated in a Friday af ternoon email that the contract is currently being f inalized and will not require approval f rom the Board of Superv isors as long as the total amount is less than $ 200, 000.
Critics spent years calling f or a more open shelter, arguing that the shelter’ s appointment- based system was decreasing the number of adoptions while also increasing k ill rates.
Michael Mavrov ouniotis, an Irv ine resident and f ormer shelter v olunteer, has been calling f or the shelter to f ollow its 2018 Strategic Plan f or years.
The county bureaucracy wants to spend taxpayer dollars to bring some random consultant to create a ‘ new’ plan,” Mav rov ouniotis stated. “ They say it’ s because of COVID. Do other county agencies hav e permission to f ail 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 f ield of animal sheltering.
The previous Strategic Plan was created by JVR Shelter Strategies, an animal shelter- f ocused consultant that work s with both municipal and private shelters.
Mavrov ouniotis said shelter of f icials should roll out the 2018 plan bef ore trying to f orm a new one.
If the county is serious about f ixing the shelter’ s problems, let’ s work on implementing the existing Strategic Plan instead of wasting more time and money.”
