Becerra, Alexis <br />From: Michael Mavrovouniotis < <br />Sent: Saturday, December 27, 2025 2:10 PM <br />To: eComment <br />Subject: Public Comment to City Council on animal shelter services <br />Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana. Use caution when opening attachments or links. <br />Hello, <br />I am an OC resident and researcher on animal shelter issues. I am uniquely qualified to offer City Council members <br />information on how OC Animal Care, a shelter that has faced numerous problems in recent years, could be <br />improved. <br />A paper of mine just came out in AJVR (research journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association) <br />https://doi.org/l 0.2460/aivr.25.09.0335 <br />This is my third paper on animal sheltering... The other two were published in JSMCAH (the research journal of the Association <br />of Shelter Veterinarians) and pertained directly to OC Animal Care: <br />https://doi.org/l 0.56771 /ismcah.v4.123 <br />https://doi.org/l 0.56771 /ismcah.v3.85 <br />The key is the application of the shelter's existing Strategic Plan, as highlighted in a recent community opinion <br />piece: <br />https://voiceofoc.org/2025/12/vaughn-is-the-county-working-to-fix-the-animal-shelters-problems-if-so-why-havent- <br />any-progress-reports-been-released/ <br />Please contact me to meet. <br />Thank you. <br />Michael Mavrovouniotis <br />
