Devore Animal Shelter
One of my first district tours was the Devore Animal Shelter. While the tour was informative it is no secret that our animal shelter in recent years has deteriorated and the underutilization of the shelter has been out-shined by the state-of-the-art facility in Riverside County. Many of our local cities have entered into direct service agreements with Riverside County which also has added to facility deficiencies and lack of resources needed for our animal shelter in San Bernardino County.
Therefore, I am recommending the following:
- Feasibility study: To determine the true cost and potential financing options to build an animal shelter that can restore trust and confidence in the services San Bernardino County offers.
- Evaluate potential governing structure: Evaluate a potential “joint powers authority” governing structure with potential stakeholders to better serve the County of San Bernardino and our local communities.
