San Jose animal shelter moves back to Parks Department - San Jose Spotlight
""This transition reflects the administration's strategic goal of optimizing and aligning, as needed, the city's service delivery and performance systems with City Council priorities, resident and business expectations, long-term operational sustainability and our organizational structure," Danielle Torralba, spokesperson for the City Manager's Office, told San José Spotlight."
""This is good news, but it should not have taken three and a half years and the extremes we've had to go to make the city do something," O'Doherty told San José Spotlight."
The San Jose Animal Care Center will transition from the Public Works Department to the Parks, Recreation and Neighborhood Services on August 1. This change aims to enhance coordination and build on recent improvements, such as reducing shelter overcrowding. The parks department will now oversee animal services citywide, consolidating efforts. City officials believe this restructuring aligns with strategic goals and community expectations. Advocates view the move as overdue, citing ongoing legal actions and previous scrutiny of the shelter's conditions as catalysts for change.
