Staff: five-bed surgical clinic in plans to boost spay/neuter capacity
Summary
Committee heard that architectural plans are complete and bidding will begin for an on-site clinic with a five-bed surgical suite and larger recovery area aimed at increasing the shelter's surgery capacity and attracting visiting veterinarians.
Staff told the committee architects have finished plans for an on-site clinic and the project will go to bid for contractors. "We have all the plans are done. They are going to bid for the actual contractors...it is a 5 bed surgical suite," the staff member said, describing a larger recovery area and an expectation that the clinic will make the shelter more inviting for visiting veterinary teams.
Officials said the clinic should increase capacity for spay/neuter operations and provide a more appropriate surgical workflow than the current temporary setups. Staff said this facility has been in planning for years and would allow more visiting teams to perform multiple surgeries and post-op recovery in a safer environment; timing was described as nearer to October for certain construction milestones.
