Subject: Fwd: PublicCommenttoCityCouncil (OCRegisterarticleonOCAnimalCare) Attention: ThisemailoriginatedfromoutsideofCityofSantaAna. Usecautionwhenopeningattachmentsorlinks.

Didyouhappento seethearticlein theOCRegister? I'vepostedthelinkbelow, withexcerpts, incaseyou didn't seeit.

WhyisthecountynotapplyingtheStrategicPlanthatwe, thecitytaxpayers, havealreadypaidfor? Wedon’t wantanymoreof ourmoneyspentonaworthless “new” plan. Andseriously, whysignanother10- yearcontractwiththecountyonthebasisof a “new” plan, giventhattheydidn’t respectthelastone. What wouldthatdo?
If thecountywantsanothercontractfromthecities, it shouldpromise, inwriting, to followtheexisting StrategicPlanwealreadypaidfor.

Sincerely,

OCRegister: Newplanfor OCAnimalCare: To boostsurvival, or dampenexpectations? https://www.ocregister.com/2025/02/16/new-plan-for-oc-animal-care-to-boost-survival-or-dampen- expectations/
Excerpts:

Afterall, JVRdidthe2018planfor a meaty $435,000; Mavrovouniotisandothersdon’t understandexactly whya newplanis neededatall.

Wedon’t needa revisionof thestrategicplan, weneedimplementationof theonewehave,” hesaid.

TheNo. 1 goalwasthis: “Everyanimalin theshelterreceivesdaily, variedenrichment.” Successmeantthat 100% ofall healthy, friendlydogswerein dailyplaygroups, andgotin-kennelenrichmenttailoredfor their needs; andthateveryadoptablecatwastakenoutof itshousingfor enrichmentatleastthreetimesaweek, and thatall catsgotenrichmenttailoredfor theirdailyneeds.

Thathasn’t exactlycometopass. Wherearetheregularpublicmeasuresshowingprogresstowardthesegoals? Wherearethestrategiestomeetthem? Thosehavebeenhardtocomeby, andtheshelter’scriticsfeara new updatewill leadtoa weaker, ratherthanstronger, planfor savinganimals.

Boyersuspectsthattheotherorganizationsknewthere’snothingwrongwiththeoriginalplananddidn’t bid becausetheydidn’t thinktheycoulddomuchbetter. “Asa taxpayer, wehavealreadywasted $500,000ona strategicplanthatwasapprovedalready. Whydowehavetowasteyetmoremoneyona weakened, less effectiveplanthatisnotasthoroughandwon’t achieveverymuchatall andwill lessenstandardsattheshelter further?”
Onepotentialbidder — whowasinitiallyexcitedaboutthecontract — hadheardrumorsofdysfunctionat OCACanddecidedtobowout.

It seemsliketheyneeda lot morethanstrategicplanningthere,” saidthenon-bidder, whoaskednottobe named. “Astrategicplanisfor whenyouhaveanideaofwhereyouwanttogoandyouneedaroadmapof1 howtogetthere. Thissoundslikea businessthatneedsanoverhaul. A root-causeanalysis. Weweren’t sure we’d beabletodoa strategicplanupdatein goodfaith.”
A ‘competitive’ biddingprocess?” Boyersaidin a testyFacebookexchangewithFoley. “YouhaveONEbid.

How’sthatcompetitive? Obviouslyyour ‘process’ wascustom-madetoblockcompetition. Noneofthe reputableshelterconsultantswerewillingtolowerthestandards, soyoufoundonethatwill.” Anothercommenteronthatpostsaid, “OK, theVERYFIRSTmetricin theStrategicPlansays: ‘Onehundred percentofall dogsqualified (retentionmet, healthy, friendly) arein dailyplaygroups….’ Havethestandards changed? No. If anything, theconsensusisevenstrongerthatthistypeofsocializationissuperimportant. Is OCACdoingthis? No. Largedogshavenear-zeroplaygroups.”
Thecountyisusingthe “update” todelayaccountabilityandlowerthestandards, thatpostersaid.

Mavrovouniotis, for hispart, can’t helpbutnoticethattheupdatecomesasthecounty’sanimalservices contractswith14citiesaresettoexpirein 2026. RominaYamashironotedthesamething.

Feelsfamiliar.” shesaid. “Myguess? They’redoingthisnowsotheycanuseit aspartoftheirpitchtothe citiesfor contractrenewal. That’sessentiallyhowtheydidit 10yearsago, andthetiminglinesupperfectly.” Doesthecountyreallywanta bettershelter, criticswonder? We’ll bewatchinghowthisall unfolds. Clearly, otherswill be, too.
