Have you done California public records request to the city for all emails to and from anyone in the city regarding the independent audit from the time it was awarded to present?
Thanks, Mary Frances—that’s exactly the purpose of the article: to bring attention to this issue so the community can respond accordingly. A public records request is definitely on the table, and your suggestion underscores how important community involvement is in holding the City accountable.
Seems like Shelter Savvy is not so far removed from Best Friends. So, without another viable option (Dr M not able at this time), they seem to not have anyone. And an internal city done audit would be a waste of time and resources that would not provided the needed info to help the dire situation.
Can they cast out the line again and do another RFP?
If so, Ed, would you consider throwing your hat into the tarnished ring?

I've offered to assist pro bono, but can't get anyone to answer the phone. Know anyone with any clout? ;-)
I think we're sort of persona non grata. My Dad backed the other guy. But, perhaps I can poke around.
Thank you for bringing light to this matter. I will make the phone calls today!
Thank you, Aimee! Your voice—and your calls—truly matter. The animals (and transparency) need every advocate they can get. Grateful for your support!
Sorry Ed. Thank you for your hard work.
Sorry? Thanks though for the note!
