III. APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES
Jennifer Kidney made a motion to approve the minutes as is. Kathryn Schwartz
Bierman seconded. The motion was carried.
IV. MONTHLY STATISTICS
Captain Arnold went over the monthly statistics and explained the differences of the
old statistics reports versus the new reports. He answered a question from the May
meeting regarding what “time” meant in a foster category; he talked to Mandy who
used the category to indicate that the animal needs more time for socialization skills.
Kathryn Schwartz Bierman asked what prompted the new statistics report. Captain
Arnold answered that there is a general push in the national animal welfare
community; these reports are for comparison purposes.
Captain Arnold explained how spay and neuter surgeries are being done since the
passing of Dr. Younkers.
Jennifer Kidney said the new reports do not specify Wildlife. Captain Arnold said
that is true, thank you.
Chairperson Mark Howery said looking at the outcomes, he understands the
reluctance to report an adoptable animal as euthanized, but there is nothing wrong with
reporting that; we want the most honest assessment. He said Friends of the Animals of
Norman have in the past talked about raising money for animals that may need extra
medical treatment and maybe we can look at discussing that with them again. Captain
Arnold said that Mandy tries very hard to get heartworm positive animals out to
rescues; however, a lot of rescues were not able to take any animals because they are
full. He said that currently the reason for euthanasia depends on who is working with
the animals. He hopes that once a veterinarian is hired, we can establish conditions for
euthanasia and bring consistency to the issue.
V. DISCUSSION OF ANIMAL WELFARE CENTER HOURS
Captain Arnold said as we are short on staff and are not going to get any
immediately. He explained that at 9am when the shelter opens, we are truly not ready
to open because our kennel attendants are still cleaning, and people walk wherever
they like, including in the areas where hoses are out and places that are still being
cleaned. He said as we put our standard operating procedures in place, we will be
doing new things such as the daily walk through to look at each animal. This would
be difficult to do around the public. He said staff works in the office from 9am – 6pm,
which is only 15 minutes longer than we are open. The American Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals suggested opening hours from 11am-4pm, which is
less than we are open now. He said another big thing is that most of our adoptions
happen before 11am due to people who came in late the day before and then return to
adopt. Captain Arnold said what he proposes is new operation hours of 11am –
5:45pm, Monday through Friday, keeping the same hours on Saturday from 11am –

4pm or possibly moving that to 5:45pm so closing times would be the same across the
board. There was a discussion about possibly offering owner redemptions before open
hours. Captain Arnold said another thing we are looking at is closing one day a month
to get the big things done such as deep cleaning and things that require more hands.
He said Oklahoma City Animal Welfare already does this. He proposes closing the
third Wednesday of every month and advertising that we will be closed that day for
those reasons. He is looking for the ability not to reduce hours but to make them more
efficient. Jennifer Kidney said our shelter is already open more than any other shelter
in the area. Chairperson Mark Howery said we can’t take any action as a committee;
all we can do is discuss it. Captain Arnold said he wants to hear the committee’s
opinions. Kathryn Schwartz Bierman asked if the shelter would be taking calls in the
morning hours. Captain Arnold answered potentially, yes, as we would be doing field
services as normal. He said at some point we would like to stay open later one day a
week and be open on Sundays as well.
Dr. Ginger Noble asked where we are on kennel staff. Captain Arnold answered we
have two full time kennel attendants; however, on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Saturday,
and Sunday, it is just one person on those days.
Chairperson Mark Howery said he would like to discuss this more at our next
meeting in October. He said also the October meeting is a precursor to the city budget
planning. He said one recommendation would be to hire at least another kennel
attendant or maybe two to three par time students. There was a discussion about
having students as part time kennel attendants.
VI. UPDATE ON STRATEGIC PLAN & STANDARD OPERATING
PROCEDURES
Captain Arnold said he has not started the strategic plan because he is waiting to
establish the standard operating procedures. He said the shelter is closed next
Wednesday to work on the standard operating procedures with staff. There was a
discussion about an enrichment program for animals at the Center and what would be
needed to do that.
Captain Arnold said they are interviewing for the veterinarian position tomorrow.
The Animal Welfare Officer position is awaiting the polygraph, which is this week,
then there will be the medical exam, and then the new Officer will be good to go.
Captain Arnold said the strategic plan is in the forefront of his mind but the standard
operating procedures are the main priority.
Jennifer Kidney said the things we need by the next meeting from Captain Arnold are
the staffing needs. Captain Arnold said he is planning on having that with
explanations. He said we will also have a chance at midyear adjustments for more
staff; we will do a midyear request.
Kathryn Schwartz Bierman asked if there was an update for the outdoor run
fundraiser. Captain Arnold answered yes; we raised about $5900.00. He said we
reached our goal of $5,000.00. He said we have had three different vendors with three
different ideas. One has the idea of carport like structure over the kennels, one is a
company that weaves fabric through the kennels, and the third is the triangle canvases.
He said we are trying to coordinate that with bringing in a new front gate and fence.

VII. MISCELLANEOUS COMMENTS
Captain Arnold said we had an event that wasn’t really a “clear the shelter event”;
staff is planning on a clear the shelter event once we have a veterinarian on staff and
are caught up. He said, instead, we had a summer carnival in conjunction with Hands
Helping Paws, Best Friends of Pets; we had a lot of volunteers as well as Councilman
Hickman in the dunk tank. We had a huge attendance; we raised $300.00 and had a
matching donation of $300.00 for a total of $600.00 and 16 adoptions. There were a
ton of people that were first timers to the shelter.
Jennifer Kidney said she would like to mention an event, since it will happen before
we meet again; Puppies, Poems, and Pies will be held at Norman Animal Welfare on
October 1st. She said she read the poems last night. The kids have been working on
this since last spring.
John Mays with Animal Control Trending Services is here visiting, observing, and
reviewing Norman Animal Welfare. He said he appreciates all the people who serve
on the committee and your commitment. He would like to comment on the business
hours. He was an executive director of a humane society in Liberal, Kansas, and their
board had the same philosophy that some folks do. They set our hours as 7am – 6 pm,
and the public was allowed to come in during those hours. He said they were sued two
times within a month because someone tripped over a hose and then someone slipped
on the wet floor. He said after that the hours were changed to 10am – 6pm, and the
change wasn’t detrimental to their numbers.
Darcie Woodson said she is glad Captain Arnold is here and what he has
accomplished in the short time he has been here. She said regarding Jennifer’s
comment about other shelters opening at noon hours, she looked up Moore and
Midwest City and both open at 8am, Edmond is open at 10am and Oklahoma City is
open at 9am. She said that she heard John Bowman is on paid leave regarding an
investigation; since Norman Animal Welfare is on a tight budget and we need more
staff, why is money going to someone who is not working? She wondered if that could
be addressed at the next meeting. Jennifer Kidney said that is not something we can
address. Assistant City Attorney Jeanne Snider said that is an easy answer, no.
Jennifer Kidney said she wanted to recognize Kim Fairbanks with Hands Helping
Paws; she does so much. When we went to Curtis Inge she took her cat, she ordered
pizza, and she took her snow cone machine. She does a lot.
Chairperson Mark Howery said he would like to keep looking at the possibility of the
Animal Welfare Oversight Meetings being held at the shelter. Captain Arnold said he
agrees; however, we are still trying to get the smell out and balance the air flow in the
multi-purpose room. Kim Fairbanks said the floor drain needs to be snaked and
cleaned out as well as getting good air flow through the room.

BASIC ANIMAL DATA MATRIX
(VRS 4-2015)
Introduction to the Basic Matrix:
This basic matrix was designed to serve as a tool for basic data collection. It is a simple matrix containing what
many (including Asilomar, ASPCA, National Federation of Humane Societies, American Humane, UC Davis,
Maddies Fund, PetSmart Charities, HSUS and Shelter Animals Count) have agreed are the minimum data
points (along with definitions) an organization should gather. Whether organizations already gather a great
deal of data or have only gathered the basics, this matrix should facilitate the roll up or merging of data at the
local, regional or national level by providing a common framework. This matrix does not reflect any
preference in data analysis or the calculation of rates but is rather simply a tool for data collection.
Tracking by Species and Age:
The risks associated with being an adult dog, puppy, adult cat or kitten (or neonate of any kind) in a shelter
environment will vary a great deal. To help shelters assess and understand the differing risks for these
populations of animals, this basic animal stats matrix includes a break out by species and age. If tracking
statistics broken out by species and age is beyond the capacity of an agency, simply tracking statistics by
species would be a place to begin. This document defines puppy and kitten as under 5 months of age (see
below: Determining Age). Again – given the differing level of risk – breaking age down further to include a
neonate category for both dogs and cats can also be very informative.
Determining Age:
This basic matrix utilizes 5 months as the break point between puppy/kitten and adult. At or near 5 months of
age there are changes in the teeth which can help guide trained staff regarding proper categorization of the
animal. For cats, at 4-5 months of age permanent canines, premolars and molars are coming in (all in by 6
months of age). For dogs, at 5-7 months of age permanent canines, premolars and molars are coming in (all in
by 7 months of age). Source: "How to . . . series" from Animal Sheltering, visit: www.shelteranimalscount.org
for a copy of the document.
Beginning and Ending Shelter Counts:
These numbers help frame the population of the animals sheltered and cared for by the organization. We are
recommending that a shelter do a walk through – physically counting the animals sheltered within the
organization, and not forgetting to count those animals who have been admitted but who are not currently
within the shelter (foster care, in the care of a veterinary hospital, etc).
10
Defining Owner Intended Euthanasia:
Some shelters offer pet euthanasia to the public as a service whose cost may be subsidized and therefore
more affordable than local veterinary clinics, thus ensuring access to this service. Defining when euthanasia
should be recorded as “at the request of the owner”, or not, is the subject of much discussion. For the
purposes of this document, we are choosing to define owner INTENDED euthanasia as the euthanasia of a pet
whose owner brought the pet to the shelter for that service. In other words, the owner brought the pet in
specifically for that service – it was their intent before arriving. Any other definition of “owner requested”
euthanasia leaves much up to interpretation and therefore a great deal of variation among organizations and
their reporting. We believe the simplicity of this definition helps to ensure consistent application and record
keeping.
Live Admissions Only:
For the purposes of this matrix we are tracking LIVE admissions only, i.e. animals who are alive when they
come into an agency's possession. Animals who are dead when taken in to an agency's possession may be a
data point to track, but that information is not tracked by this matrix.
What is Possession?
"Adoption" and "Transferred Out" both make reference to possession. The primary concept here is one of
ownership. For example, in foster care, the agency still has possession or ownership. If adopted or
transferred to another agency, possession is now with the new owner, or with another agency.
Where are the “Others”?
This basic data matrix focuses on canines and felines. Many organizations also provide extraordinary services
for other pets (pocket pets, rabbits, ferrets) and animals (wildlife), and that good work is not captured here.
Why a Basic Matrix?
This basic matrix was designed to serve as a tool for data collection. It is a simple matrix containing what
many have agreed are the minimum data points an organization should consider gathering. By agreeing to
this basic matrix - we hope organizations will gather AT LEAST this data, or if an organization already gathers
a great deal of data, that they will consider rolling up their data into this format to help facilitate (if individual
agencies are interested) data collection at a local, regional or national level, which would allow participating
agencies to benchmark their work against similar agencies around their region or the nation. This matrix does
not reflect any preference for the variety of live release rates used in animal sheltering and welfare. Most
rates, other than full Asilomar which requires a conditions matrix, should be able to be calculated from the
data points included.
