11/8/2011 Item 16:13.17.
Recommendation to accept an update on assessment of and improvements to Domestic Animal
Services enforcement operations.
Objective: To provide the residents and visitors of Collier County with animal control
enforcement services that meet their expectations.
Considerations: in response to public input received at the September 24, 2011 Domestic
Animal Services Advisory Board (DASAB) meeting, Domestic Animal Services (DAS) solicited
the expertise of an external assessment team to review the department's enforcement operations.
The team was composed of: Sgt,. David Estes with the Collier County Sheriff's Office
Agricultural Unit and the law enforcement representative to DASAB; Capt. Dave Walesky,
Operations Executive with Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control and Vice President of
the Florida Animal Control Association; Jake Sullivan, Collier County Senior Park Ranger; and
Belen Brisco, Animal Welfare Consultant.
The team met October, 13, 2011 and reviewed two to three days' worth of work completed by
each DAS Animal Control Officer. Dana Alger, Animal Control Supervisor, provided procedural
input for the team's consideration. Following this review, the team then met privately to evaluate
enforcement operations as presented and summarize their findings. Belen Brsco authored a
recommendations memo which was reviewed and approved by all members of the assessment
team prior to issuance to DAS on October 18, 2011.
Staff concurs with the findings and recommendations of the assessment team. Supervision has
issued a directive to all enforcement staff members implementing any immediately actionable
items. Some recommendations require the creation or revision of current policies, procedures,
forms, and reports, all of which are under development. The recommendations of the assessment
team and revised policies and procedures for the enforcement section of DAS will be presented
at the November 15, 2011 DAS Advisory Board meeting. Pending DAS Advisory Board and
public input garnered then, policies, procedures, and guidelines will be finalized, and directives
will be issued to enforcement staff regarding implementation of same.
Some items may require revision of the Animal Control Ordinance and, therefore, Board of
County Commissioners approval. Subsequent to the November 15, 2011 DASAB meeting, staff
will develop a project plan for necessary Ordinance revisions as determined by DASAB with
public input.
Fiscal Imnaet: No Fiscal Impact is associated with this action.
Growth- Mauaaeme t Impact: No Growth Management Impact is associated with this action.
L, mal Con_sdMtioas: This item raises no legal issues, and requires majority support for
acceptance. -JAK

MEMORANDUM n
TO: AMANDA TOWNSEND
FROM: DAVE WALESKY, JAKE SULLIVAN, DAVID ESTES AND BELEN BRISCO
DATE: October 18, 2011
REGARDING: ANIMAL CONTROL ASSESSMENT MEETING ON OCTOBER 13, 2011
Per your request, here is our assessment of current procedures used by Domestic Animal Services in Collier
County. After reviewing ACO's daily log records and discussing some of the cases, the following are our
recommendations:
• DEVELOP MORE DETAILED AND CONSISTENT CASE REPORTS
o The more detailed the information (including photos), the better success the next officer will
have in handling the same call or complaint for follow up and resolution.
• DEVELOP MONTHLY STATUS REPORTS FOR ACO'S
• Number of days worked
• Total Calls completed /average per day
o Total Miles Driven
• Total Animals Impounded
• Total Citations Issued
• Total Warnings Issued
Provide feedback good or bad to the ACO's and rank each ACO in each area.
• REVISE LOG SHEET TO CAPTURE REQUIRED INFORMATION AND ENSURE THAT IT IS CONSISTENTLY
FILLED OUT
• This should detail how the ACO spent their day beyond calls completed.
• Include Vehicle Checklist to ensure safety of animals, cleanliness, working conditions of vehicle,
etc.
• DEVELOP RANDOM AUDIT PROCESS —Standard Scoring Sheet then review certain number of case
reports monthly and give feedback to ACO.
• DEVELOP AN ENFORCEMENT GUIDELINE /DIRECTIVE /POLICY WHICH CLEARLY STATES WARNING VS.
CITATION in certain situations and the need for justification when ACO discretion is used in those
situations. Stress the points of the Guideline /Directive /Policy in the field training officer program.
• RE- EVALUATE "ANONYMOUS" RESPONSE CRITERIA
o Recommended for abuse or neglect only
• NUISANCE CALLS
o Send letter on first call if criteria meets low priority
0 2nd call, send officer
• POSSIBLY ELIMINATE 30 DAY LETTER OR USE IT AS 1ST RESPONSE TO MINOR COMPLAINTS
o Conflict with 7 day warning and then 30 day sent— (want to mention here again the idea of
going with this to enable the "offender" the availability of the low cost clinic held monthly to
come into compliance.)
