Chameleon records for LAAS I've received through pra requests are archived here...<br /><br />http://www.sheltertrak.com/downloads/laas/records/<br /><br />The most recent records set I got from Ross yesterday is in the folder named 'PR095'.<br /><br />It's a tab-separated text file so you'll need to import into a database and then query the database to get what you need to look at.<br /><br />I just ran a query to look for duplicate impound numbers and it appears they sent me duplicate records. I'll have to verify and then try to find out from IS (via Ross) what they did different this time and try to get it corrected so it doesn't happen again.<br /><br />Brad Jensen<br />Cypress, CAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25037502.post-89867543489714861942010-07-15T20:04:44.604-07:002010-07-15T20:04:44.604-07:00My comment about those numbers did not get posted,...My comment about those numbers did not get posted, Brad, but I'd like to see those numbers if you don't mind sending them.

I'll take a closer look at what they sent when I can find time and promise I won't post anymore figures until I get it sorted out.

I see about 55,000 for cats and dogs through June.<br /><br />Are the numbers for neonatal kittens and puppies a breakout f cats and dogs, or additional?

I think you know that answer. Does "open door" mean mean that they do not charge to leave an animal? I think we charge $25 (I could be wrong)...it used to be $5.<br /><br />Regardless. This is not Seattle and this is not a "Humane Society." I welcome her experience in those types of organizations and hope she can make a difference here, but you must admit that Zine, etc. are correct. The obstacles are enormous. There is no money for her to work with and she will have to go private for money which will may be successful or not. I'd be interested to know how much money she needs to get to her 80% promised save rate and how it gets spent.<br /><br />I can't say that there are better candidates. There is no experience that would prepare one for this job which is why "previous" non-profit experience is nearly irrelevant. While I didn't even know that Heisen was applying, her insider experience (Commissioner, Chair of Spay/Neuter Committee) with the Department and the City and her knowledge of City politics --AND THE CITY ITSELF, as well as her professional experience as an attorney would have qualified her in my book.<br /><br />Barnette will need to take an extensive tour of the City starting with Perry's district as Perry requested. I think that with all of the homework and shelter hours (necessary) that Barnette will have to do over the first year, what we will have is Barth running the department as she has done (poorly) for 2 years. There was before the Board today a proposal to take $30,000 from the spay/neuter resources to target free pit bull sterilizations. While we need to address this issue right away, this did not come from Barnette. It came from Barth with Davis's signature on it.<br /><br />An in depth look at what taking $30 from that fund would do is needed. I don't know if the Board passed it. There have been no written minutes from the Board since February (Barth again).<br /><br />Isn't the pre-appointment campaign over? What's the point of more Seattle comparisons now?BoardWatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14262849996217459016noreply@blogger.com
