3 INTRODUCTION YEARS OF PLANNING 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! In October 2013 the Franklin County Humane Society received $285, 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 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 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, 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! 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 An RFP for schematic design and programming was developed and advertised in July 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 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. 4 5

4 E X I ST I N G CO N D I T I O N S 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! 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.

5 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. MANAGING OUTBREAK - THE ABILITY TO CONTROL DISEASE 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. 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. 8 9

6 ENABLING COMPANIONSHIP EXTENDING COMPASSION AND EXPANDING CARE Throughout its history, FCHS has cared for tens of thousands of animals, each with a story. Originally designed to merely shelter animals, the current building s capacity has been surpassed by the vision of a new space, intended to provide for the physical and mental well-being of the animals who pass through its doors. The stories those old walls could tell offer a glimpse into the spirit of our mission going forward. There is only one entrance to the building for the public. The layout has no separation or designated corridors. Most animal areas are accessed through or near other animal areas. The surgery area and service areas have no separation from the animal areas. There are several out-buildings used for storage that are not ideal for access, efficiency, vermin control, or dedicated to specific storage needs. The existing property is remote to the public and in a flood plain. Renovation or even new construction on the site is not an option. The proposed site has better visibility, better topography, and is in a very accessible location. A new facility must be constructed and occupied as soon as possible in order to avoid deferred maintenance issues and to continue safe operations as an animal shelter. PACO - MEETING CRUELTY WITH COMPASSION In the late summer of 2012, FCHS assisted animal control with the seizure of over 60 animals from a residence on the outskirts of Franklin County. Dogs, cats, exotic birds, goats, pigs and chickens, all living in deplorable conditions. Meet Paco, a handsome pitbull who is an ambassador of his breed. Before his rescue, Paco survived unspeakable cruelty. His teeth were worn down from chewing on the chain which tethered him to the ground. Paco shares his home with dog and cat brothers and sisters and is loved beyond measure. LILA - THE POWER OF PETS 4 LIFE Originally a participant of our Community Spay/Neuter services, her owner approached us in 2017 for help. She had become weak and was losing weight. Laboratory tests to investigate the source of her illness were too expensive for her owner through regular channels and he opted to have her humanely euthanized rather than see her continue to deteriorate. Shelter staff recognized that although her condition was serious it could be managed with relatively affordable medications. By offering to provide the needed testing at cost through our Pets 4 Life program, Lila and her person were able to enjoy many more months together with Lila at home. Before After MAGOO - SEEING A DIFFERENT OUTCOME Sometimes the spirit is stronger than the challenge. Found along the side of Owenton Road, Magoo arrived at the shelter in 2015 a bedraggled 5 month old kitten with severe damage to both his eyes. Likely the result of chronic upper respiratory infections, the damage to his eyes had rendered him completely blind. Despite that, he had managed to survive. Looked upon as pitiful by some, he purred and sought out affection, feeling his way across the exam table toward the sound of our voices. Saving him set a precedent for FCHS. We found a way to make his care affordable and today he enjoys the life of luxury

7 NEW SHELTER VISION AND ELEMENTS Rendering by K. Norman Berry Associates Architects The new Franklin County Humane Society Animal Shelter will enhance the ability to temporarily shelter homeless dogs and cats while improving the chances each animal will move quickly into a suitable permanent home. The guiding principle in design was a facility that would meet short-term housing needs, while maximizing the ability of Shelter staff to improve adoptability. We believe the 12,640 sq. ft. facility is right-sized for future projected populations and care needs. Based on an animal population analysis of recent shelter history, the new shelter will assume housing for 50 dogs with flexible space. This represents an increase of 7 dog spaces over the current shelter. Cats are significantly underserved by current housing space. The FCHS currently has space for 30 cats. The new shelter will increase to 48 units for adults and nursing kittens, with non-nursing kittens housed as needed in flexible cages in multi-purpose areas with the ability to be stored when not in use. Six priorities guided the final design. They included improving: 1 - The adoptability of shelter animals. 2 - Adoption attractiveness for the public. 3 - FCHS ability to expand spay/neuter services. 4 - Longevity of shelter investment. 5 - Flexibility in use of Shelter spaces. 6 - Operating efficiency

8 Rendering by K. Norman Berry Associates Architects 1. Improving the adoptability of shelter animals The key to adoptability was a design that supported improvements in the physical and behavioral health of the dogs and cats in our care. The new shelter will act as an animal health facility, which is expected to directly reduce the length of animal shelter stays, increase the number of healthy animals in the community, and maximize our live release rate. The following design components included are critical to the health of shelter animals: a. Adequate size of enclosure for each animal Approximately 75 sq. ft. per dog and at least 9 sq. ft. per cat. Each animal will be housed so that the elimination area is separated from food and sleeping areas and a hiding place is provided. b. Noise control Noise is a major stressor for both dogs and cats and stress is a major contributor to both physical and behavioral health problems. Dogs will be housed in groups of 10 or less and kennels will have noise baffling elements. Cats will be housed in a quiet area and shielded from the noise of dogs. c. Contamination Control With a population of many transient animals, it is important that healthy animals not contact animals with unknown health status or those known to be carriers of infectious diseases. To preserve health, animals known to be healthy will not share space with animals entering the shelter. Animals will be housed in small groups with isolated air exchanges and safe disposal of contaminated cleaning water. Intake and clinic areas will have their own isolated air and water disposal systems. Systems for disinfecting animal areas will be easy to use and keep contaminated effluent from reentering animal areas. d. Adequate veterinary space and facilities The new shelter will have a clinic that is sufficient to care for the regular medical needs of FCHS shelter animals and to continue the Pets 4 Life program that helps keep animals with temporary health problems with their owners who lack the resources to pay for acute care. e. Adequate facilities for behavioral assessment and socialization For adopters to have a good and lasting adoption experience with an FCHS animal, it is necessary for staff to know whether the animals, particularly dogs, are suitable for particular placements, such as with children. Having adequate locations for assessment and socialization is a key element in improving both adoptability and the FCHS reputation for providing sound animals to the public. f. Animal access to sunlight and fresh air Each animal area will allow both dogs and cats to have some way to have visual stimulation and access to sunlight and fresh air, while still controlling excessive noise and any cross-contamination. Such areas are also perfect places to allow potential adopters to see available animals in a non-cage setting

More adopters will come to the shelter to view available animals. The new shelter will provide public space for humane education, public celebrations (such as birthday parties), community meetings, and outdoor public dog walk and family picnic areas. Meet-and-greet spaces will ensure the best fit possible between potential adopters and FCHS animals. 3. Improving FCHS ability to expand spay/neuter services Spay/neuter is the only humane solution to community overpopulation of dogs and cats. The design accommodates two surgery tables and has flexible-use areas that allow staging, surgery, and recovery of TNR cats to be handled at FCHS, where sanitation and care can be better managed by Shelter veterinary staff and volunteers. 4. Improving longevity of shelter investment Animals and disinfecting chemicals are hard on shelter materials. Investment in more durable materials will save required renovation costs later by preventing early degradation in the ability to guard animal health or shelter attractiveness to potential adopters. 5. Improving flexibility in use of Shelter spaces The number of animals in the Shelter can be highly variable. Sporadic hoarding cases, court proceedings, kitten season, TNR days, natural disasters, and special adoption events are the types of occurrences that can cause temporary, but large, variations in FCHS animal populations. Therefore, a major design consideration was having flexibility in how spaces could be used at any given time. Thus, animal housing pods can be isolated and used to house different categories of animals (dogs or cats, healthy or sick, young or old) and can even be shut-down in periods of low numbers. During peak animal numbers, areas such as the community room and sally port can be used for temporary housing space. This approach allowed the design to be targeted to average population numbers rather than built for peak periods. 6. Improving operating efficiency The Committee evaluated design options with an eye toward not only energy efficiency, but also considered staff efficiency in the flow of work through the facility

11 FLOOR PLAN ENABLING COMPANIONSHIP EXTENDING COMPASSION AND EXPANDING CARE SUMMER - FOSTERING SAVES A LIFE Summer arrived in early June When the police brought her in, the officer wrote pink and grey under color. Covered from head to tail with inflamed skin from untreated mange, she presented a long-term commitment. After 60 days of treatment in foster care, she was adopted by a friend of the fosterer. Fostering saves lives. PRINCESS - CREATING TRANSFORMATION Seized by animal control due to neglect, she was one of three Chow dogs that arrived at the shelter matted, thin and unsocialized. Their owner wouldn t provide their names but staff referred to her as Princess. During the three months the case played out in court, she transformed into a beautiful, loving dog. For many animals, arriving at the shelter is the best thing to ever happen to them. SHARON - THE IMPACT OF TNR TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) for stray and feral cats is a national movement aimed at reducing the number of homeless, stray and feral cats. Through TNR, animal welfare agencies across the world have made a significant impact on the number of these cats being turned into shelters. In 2012 the program took hold in Franklin County under the guidance of two women passionate about saving cats from unnecessary euthanasia. Initially, they transported cats to surrounding counties for spay/neuter services until the volume and interest increased for setting up a clinic in Frankfort. Generous supporters donated building space. Over 2,200 cats have benefited from TNR and FCHS is now realizing some of this work with 200 fewer cats being surrendered to the shelter in Many of the cats that come through the TNR (trap-neuter-return) program are the result of people abandoning and dumping cats and kittens. It is assumed the cats can fend for themselves in the wild since they have a reputation as hunters. Sadly, this puts them at risk of being prey for hawks, coyotes, fox, and other natural predators, not to mention cars, trucks, and farm equipment. If the cats are lucky, they are dropped near the home of a sympathetic soul who will provide a food source for these cats. That was the case for Sharon who lives in the outer environs of Franklin County. Sharon asked for help to trap, spay and neuter, and vaccinate her colony of nine cats. For the first year all was well. Then the neighbors moved away. She found herself with 10 additional cats in need of TNR because the people had moved their possessions but not the cats. With the help of FCHS TNR, she borrowed traps and FCHS again provided vetting services to prevent the colony from growing. Recently, Sharon reported that she has been kitten-free fom more than a year. Her cats look healthy and she learned that neighbors are now asking for TNR help

14 EXISTING EXAMPLES Porter County, IN $3.25MM / $2.25MM public funding Kalamazoo, MI ssf/2017/12/new_animal_shelter_cost_drops.html $4.7MM / $4.7MM public funding PROJECT COSTS AND PERSPECTIVE It is important to note that total construction costs are estimated at $3.1-$3.8M, or $245-$300/sf Infrastructure cost and site work represent $750-$900K. Interior furnishings and equipment total $316-$411K. The veterinary health and durability priorities associated with the design of this Shelter make it important to invest substantially in the mechanical systems and quality of the interior surfaces to prevent having the Shelter fail to meet its intended purpose or fall into disrepair too early into its intended useful life. We are determined to avoid mistakes made in other shelters we visited or researched. The FCHS firmly believes this is the most basic design that will adequately serve the community.
