The motion carried by the following vote: Votes: ORAICouncilmember Absent: 2 - Councilmember Brooks and Council President Kernighan ORAICouncilmember Ayes: 6 - Gallo, Gibson McElhaney, Kalb, Kaplan, Reid and Schaaf The Council approved recommendations with the following amendments to the City Administrator's Implementation Plan and time line for Reorganizing the Oakland Animal Shelter as an Independent City Department: 1. Prioritize hiring two (2) shelter manager or supervisor positions from the $400,000 proposed in the Mayor's mid-cycle budget (line D16). These two positions will fulfill both the shelter management and animal rescue functions identified as critical to a successful animal shelter. The animal shelter manager and/or shelter position classifications will require professional experience with animal care and welfare. Ideally, the Oakland Animal Services Director will be hired as soon as possible and be allowed to advise on the hiring of these two positions. The second animal shelter position will be funded as follows: a. Delete the one unfilled Administrative Assistant I position recommended in the OAS report (May 27, 2014) resulting in a savings of approximately $72,606. b. Reduce hiring of an additional one (1) FTE veterinarian (as proposed in the May 27, 2014 report) to only one half (1/2) FTE veterinarian, resulting in a total allocation of 1.5 FTE veterinarian for the OAS, resulting in a savings of approximately $69,289. 2. Of the eight of twenty part-time animal control attendants (ACA) currently budgeted but unfilled, explore hiring full time positions instead of part-time - as possible with funding. More permanent staff will provide longevity to support OAS needs. 3. The City Administrator shall recruit the interim advisory committee members and hold the first interim advisory committee by July 10, 2014. 4. The Interim advisory committee shall draft an ordinance for the creation of a permanent advisory committee, and bring this ordinance to the Public Safety City of Oakland Page 24 Printed on 7/1/14 | 24 | OaklandRedevelopmentSuccessorAgencyAndCityCouncilAndGeologicHazardAbatementDistrictBoard/2014-06-17.pdf |
