MEMORANDUM
Date: October 30, 2020
To: Gallup-McKinley County Animal Control Authority Board
From: Cosy Balok, Animal Protection Supervisor
Subject: Replacement of one Animal Protection Officer with an Administrative Assistant
Discussion:
Please be aware that we have replaced one of the Animal Protection Officer positions with an
Administrative Assistant. The Animal Control Department previously consisted of four (4) officers and
one (1) supervisor. However, after one the officers resigned, we realized that it would be more
beneficial to fill an administrative position instead of an officer position. Our department gets busy with
calls and administrative duties, which the officers don’t have time for being that they are in the field
responding to calls across McKinley County. It’s also important that we have a staff member stationed at
the shelter at all times during operating hours, which this new position will help with.
The request was approved by the Human Resources Department and City Manager whereas the Animal
Control Department will now have three (3) officers, one (1) administrative assistant, and one (1)
supervisor. The newly created position has been posted on the City of Gallup website and we are in the
process of setting up interviews.
