RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS — ANALYSIS OF ANIMAL CONTROL SHELTER/PET
ADOPTION CENTER AND ASSESSMENT OF FACILITY NEEDS
TO: Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the current Oakland County Animal Control Shelter and Pet Adoption Center was
purchased from the Michigan Humane Society in 1980; and
WHEREAS the population of animals in Oakland County has grown over the last several
decades; and
WHEREAS Oakland County has taken over the responsibility of providing animal control
services for significantly more local communities over the past several years; and
WHEREAS the Board of Commissioners desires to ensure the staff and volunteers at the
Animal Control Shelter and Pet Adoption Center have the best possible environment in order
to encourage the adoption of healthy pets.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
requests Facilities Management to initiate a facility needs and assessment analysis for the
Animal Control and Pet Adoption facilities.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners requests that the report
include, but not be limited to:
• An assessment of the current facilities and their ability to meet requirements for the
current and likely future intake of animals, their care, adequate housing and treatment.
• An overall evaluation of the existing shelter site, constraints on the facilities,
investments that may be necessary to provide an improved environment for staff,
visitors and animals, technological or any upgrades otherwise recommended by staff.
• An analysis of requirements (i.e. cost estimates) and potential sites for the construction
of a new shelter and adoption center.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners requests that the results of
this analysis be presented within six months of the adoption of this resolution.
