15. Jesse Krieder read a portion of a letter from a former employee, Victoria Johnson. The letter stated
that she worked at the Center from 2007 to 2010. She was instrumental in putting together adoption
programs for pit bulls and received the Golden Grape award in 2009.
16. Allison Kreider continued to read Ms. Johnson's letter. It stated that there is apathy towards animals
at the Animal Care and Adoption Center and that the culture is moving away from the No Kill goal. Dogs
were euthanized in full view of staff and the public.
17. Melissa Schwiegert continued to read Ms. Johnson's letter. It stated that the supervisor would
encourage other employees to be hostile to the volunteers.
18. Ondra Gilbertson continued to read Ms. Johnson's letter, noting that the three large play yards are
only used for crated dogs. The letter indicated that Ms. Johnson would place dogs in the play yards when
their kennels were cleaned and suggested that this be done by everyone.
19. Dana Keithly addressed the statistics report listed on the agenda as Item M17, noting that the statistics
show a 45% adoption rate. She indicated that there were more animals sent to rescues and more
volunteers in 2011. Also, Ms. Keithly inquired why animals were being counted 2-3 times.
110. Stacy Holmes wondered why people wanting to volunteer at the Animal Care and Adoption Center
are being turned away.
111. Hank agreed with the previous speakers. He stated that they will get results at the voting booth.
112. David Dykstra appreciated Councilmember Steinorth's Internet site. He spoke about Gary Ovitt and
the Colonies case.
113. Nicole Myerchin referred to the 5 hour limit and indicated that Allison Kreider was fired prematurely.
She referenced a meeting that she had attended with Mayor Michael in which he referred to the dismissed
volunteers as spoiled children. She noted that leadership was needed and that Councilmember Alexander
should run for Mayor.
114. Joseph Rossini addressed Agenda Item M4 (Request for Bid#13/14-003). He urged the City Council
to remove the item from the Consent Calendar as his client, FM Thomas, should be awarded the bid for
the work. Also, he noted the plan to use a Request for Proposal process was not legal and should not be
pursued.
115. Michael Feyka, FM Thomas, presented information on the company to the City Council. He requested
that the company be authorized to perform the work.
116. Don Koury indicated that a group of people have been coming to the Council meetings for over a
year finding fault with everything being done at the Animal Care and Adoption Center. He noted that the
prior Director allowed employees to take long lunches and delegated authority to some of the volunteers.
Since the new Director arrived everyone is being held accountable.
117. Ed Wolski did not support the draining of the lake at Red Hill Park. He referenced the cost of the City
Council's health benefits and suggested that employee costs be cut to maintain the park.
118. Bill Hanlon stated that the Grapevine Press recently reported on the salaries of the management
staff, many of whom are earning over $150,000 per year. He noted that the lake at Red Hill Park needs
to be drained but there are 22 Fire Captains. He suggested that management salaries be reduced by
25%.
119. Jim Moffatt expressed a concern with people attending the meeting complaining about the Animal
Care and Adoption Center and asked that this matter be resolved.

120. Kelly Heilig indicated that a lot of time and money was spent on the Animal Care and Adoption Center
to help it become a No Kill facility. She wondered how volunteers could be fired and indicated that the
statistics do not lie.
121. John Lyons referenced Mr. Hanlon's comments, noting that the City is financially sound and the City
Manager has done an excellent job. He supported sending Councilmember Steinorth to Sacramento as
a voice for the City. Mr. Lyons noted that the complaints about the Animal Care and Adoption Center are
unfounded and are being made by animal activists. The biggest problem is the lack of water.
