SUBJECT: Animal Shelter Resolution No. 2%1/558
Public Service Hours
As recommended by the Director of Animal Services and the County Administrator, it is
hereby resolved that the Animal Services Department's shelter public service hours shall
be changed to Tuesday through Saturday, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., except on
Wednesdays on which the hours will be 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and on holidays on
which the shelters will be closed to the public. It is further resolved that the Animal
Services Director shall change said shelter hours and other departmental service hours,
at his discretion, to meet varying County, departmental, and public exigencies.
Background: The Animal Services Department's shelters have been open six days per
week for many years, but staffing difficulties have made continuation of this practice
impossible. While most County facilities are closed on Saturday, heavy public use of the
shelters on Saturdays for adoptions and return of animals to their owners makes such a
closure a heavy burden on the public, and might well negatively affect the goal of
increasing animal adoptions in the County. Such a closure would also require an
increased holding period for animals as required by state law.
I hereby certify that this is a true and
correct copy of an action taken and
entered on the minutes of the Board of
Supervisors on the date shown.
