INTRODUCTION

The Board of Directors is pleased to present, and unanimously endorse, the schematic design and programming for a new animal shelter for Frankfort and Franklin County!

We offer the following summary of the design, the process used to develop it, the state of the current shelter and operations, and our vision for the future of the humane society and animal control and welfare in Frankfort and Franklin County.

Much has changed in the 50 years the shelter has been located at 1041 Kentucky Ave. Our community views the care and welfare of companion animals as a priority. As recently as 2010, the euthanasia rate at our animal shelter was estimated at 80%. A well-publicized misidentification of a dog shone an unwelcome spotlight on this sad fact, and efforts since that time have reversed the fate of our shelter animals as we approach a 90% live release rate. Animal treatment and care have also undergone profound improvement in response to public demand for better outcomes.

We believe you are well aware of the need for a new facility. As recently as 2012 one of your top priorities was to find a new home for the shelter outside the flood plain. The Humane Society has been fortunate not to have an emergency evacuation since 2010, but it is only a matter of time, and poor conditions at our aging facility have grown to an unsustainable level.

The City of Frankfort and Franklin County local governments have been great partners with the Franklin County Humane Society, especially in recent years. We call upon you to be partners with us in this tremendous, desperately needed project

to ensure a bright future for our animals for the next 50 years.

The Board of Directors of the Franklin County Humane Society requests the City of Frankfort and Franklin County commit to funding a total of $3.2 million of this estimated $5.2 million project contingent upon the Franklin County Humane Society raising a minimum of the remaining costs estimated at $2M. In-kind contributions are welcome and will be considered as part of the $3.2M from local government, and we estimate they may be as much as $500,000 toward the infrastructure costs of the undeveloped site.

Our request would be either a commitment to bond your share of the project with bond inception triggered by the raising of our funds, or a 3-year cash commitment matching our 3-year capital fundraising plan.

We know this is a large request, but a new shelter has been discussed and needed for years. The Franklin County Humane Society has developed and funded the design and programming for a state-of-the art facility. We can raise money on our own for a new shelter or let local government fund one in its entirety. Both will fall short of today's standard of care. However, as partners, we can build a shelter the community of Frankfort and Franklin County can be proud of, and one that will enhance the lives of our companion animals for the next half century!

YEARS OF PLANNING

? In October 2013 the Franklin County Humane Society received $285,000 from the estate of Jean Gravitt. This wonderful gift was the impetus needed to ignite planning for a new shelter.

? Site selection began immediately in the fall of 2013 and a new shelter design committee was formed in early 2014.

? The design committee was selected based on representation in animal welfare, care, training, and shelter medicine, as well as architecture and engineering, architectural procurement and selection, statistical analysis, and organizational structure and development.

Members of the committee were:

Nancy Benton Kerry Lowary Sam Marcus

Teresa Masters Bronwyn Miller Terry Parker

Ginny Wilson Nancy Wilson

? Fiscal court was enormously helpful with site selection, but the process was difficult. Several properties were considered and eventually eliminated.

? Finally, on September 24, 2015, the Board of Directors voted unanimously in favor of locating a new animal shelter at the property off Old Glenns Creek Rd. near the entrance to Capital View Park, referred to as `the Capital View property'. Fiscal Court approved a fifty-year leasing arrangement with the state for the five-acre site and entered into a sublease with the Humane Society.

? Meanwhile, the design committee produced two estimates of shelter size based on the Humane Society of the United States recommendations and individual areas of use. The HSUS study produced an estimate of 12,365 square feet. The area use study estimated 13,400 sf.

? The design committee conducted shelter site visits to Hardin County, Jessamine County and Montgomery County, OH between November 2015 and July 2016.

? An RFP for schematic design and programming was developed and advertised in July 2016.

? Nine proposals were submitted. The design committee selected three finalists in October 2016 and interviewed them on November 15th. The design team of K. Norman Berry and Design Learned was chosen due to the combination of architectural skill, mechanical and electrical engineering and related experience.

? The FCHS responded to a detailed questionnaire developed by the consultants and the first meeting between the design committee and the consultants was held in January 2017.

? Site survey, utilization and geotechnical exploration reports were conducted and prepared as well as programming analysis and initial recommendations.

? The team met monthly throughout 2017; working and reworking design and programming.

EVOLUTION

The clear focus was on animal care and needs; the minimal amount of space required, but no sacrifice or compromise in quality and materials. Human wish list items such as a conference room were abandoned as too costly and unnecessary. A floor plan which once reached 14,560 square feet was reduced to a final size of 12,640 square feet; remarkably like our initial estimate!

Final total project cost estimates were developed, including a detailed list of equipment and furnishings. The grand total of the `all in' project ranges from $4.7-$5.7 million.

6 Franklin County Humane Society New Animal Shelter

EXISTING CONDITIONS The Humane Society is nearing 50 years in its' location at 1041 Kentucky Ave. By today's shelter standards, it would have been vastly inadequate when it opened. Now it is nearly uninhabitable.

If you have never been to the current shelter, or not visited for some time, we invite you to do so and would be glad to offer a tour.

? The existing building is too small, poorly planned and constructed of materials that are not appropriate for good animal health, easy maintenance or noise control.

7

? Paint is peeling over porous and leaking concrete block. Chain-link fencing is rusted and broken. Kennel dog doors are antiquated and not functioning properly allowing for extreme energy inefficiency and utility costs. Drainage is slow at best and fluid backup in kennels and the shelter is common, especially after a hard rain.

? The dog kennels are indoor-outdoor only, substandard in design and size, and without individual drainage capacity.

? Cat play areas are extremely limited in size and location. Outdoor areas consist of flimsy plastic and wire enclosures situated on asphalt.

? Mechanical and HVAC systems are outdated, inefficient and not properly zoned for the safe housing of animals.

MANAGING OUTBREAK - THE ABILITY TO CONTROL DISEASE

Our capacity to care for animals gets challenged in so many ways. Nothing strikes fear in the hearts of our staff and volunteers like the prospect of an infectious disease outbreak. With no room to spare, isolating or quarantining sick animals can be a nearly impossible task. Steps to control the spread of illness can sometimes seem futile when the number of animals is already surpassing our capacity. Reality hit hard in February 2018 when a number of dogs became ill with Canine Parainfluenza Virus (CPIV). The only way to manage the outbreak was to stop the movement of dogs within the shelter and find new ways to manage intakes in other areas. Access to that building was limited to one or two staff. Because we had no real space to isolate sick dogs, it took almost two months to stop the spread and return to regular intake procedures. The new building will provide us with appropriate isolation and quarantine areas so that contagious diseases can be contained and eliminated without risk to other animals.
