Subject: Agenda Item E-18, Animal Shelter
Respected Mayor and Councilmembers,
netl
Mounce; Bob Johnson; Susan Hitchcock; Randi Johl
C.
Commission
I make the following comments about the proposed resolution creating a Lodi
Advisory Animal Commission:
Under "POWERS AND DUTIES"
Item 1. I recommend that the a phrase be added to the end of Item 1
stating, "and to formulate policies, principles, standards and regulations
for the control and humane treatment of all animals in the city." [This
language is used by the City of Columbus, Ohio for its Animal Control
Commission. This language gives the Comission specific goals to produce, as
opposed to the more ambiguous "cooperate, coordinate, advance and explore.''
It has been shown by the confusion, inconsistencies, and omissions that in
the two years since the shelter has been under new leadership, very few if
any written policies have been adopted.]
Item 3. I recommend that a phrase be added to the end of Item 3, "and to
review the decisions and actions of the lead animal control officer in any
matter related to the enforcement of the City of Lodi's municipal code
and/or State law." (Bloomingtom Illinois and Kern County, CA, use similar
language for their Animal Control Commissions. A Commission with advisory
authority to the City Council must able to communicate with staff and be
made aware of the actions and opertions provided at the shelter.]
Irem 5. I do not know what this item means. ("Information and referral
source?") Are Commission members to respond to citizen calls about animals?
I would delete this item and add instead, "Oversee and report to the City
Council on compliance with state law, regulation, local ordinance, humane
protocols as established by the California Veterinary Association, and
fiscal management." [Some Wisconsin townships use this language, sometimes
as the only enumerated power and duty of their Commissions. Again, history
at the shelter has shown that staff and management not only do not comply
with several State taws governing shelter operations and protocol, they
don't even know what the laws are. To be at all effective, an advisory
commission must know how a shelter is required to operate. This would save
the City time and money spent of lawsuits and provide better services to the
commun ity}
Under "MEMBERSHIP"
I recommend that the initial Commission members be appointed in a manner
similar to the way the Budget Committee was established, which I believe was
that each Councilmember appoints one member with the remaining appointment
to be made by the Mayor.
I recommend that the term of office be four years, with staggered terms. As
Councilmember Katzakian recently noted in an interview, there is a learning
curve to City operations. The same holds true for an advisory commission.
Based on my six years on the Animal Shelter Task Force, new members
generally come on with a limited understanding of what municipal animal
control services are required by law to do, and often have never visited the
Lodi Animal Shelter or had any interaction with staff.
Finally, I recommend that the paragraph stating, "Membership of the
Commission may consist of individuals representing other non-profit
organizations, the veterinary profession, the business community, and the
general citizenry, among others" is so vague as to be unneccesary, and be
replaced by, "The members appointed by the Council shall be six members
represening the general public having interest and experience in animal
matters and one licensed veterinarian practicing in the City of Lodi. Each
member of the Commission shall be a resident of the City of Lodi, except for
the licensed veterinarian who must practice in Lodi but need not be a
resident of the City."
Thank you for your consideration of these recommendations.
Sue Pixler,
Former President and member of
the Loci Animal Shelter Task Force.

These figures indicate that Lodi will take in and kill hundreds more cats than any year since 1999
when records started. Additionally, there has never been such a high number of animals dying in
the shelter.
