New GM for LA Animal Services May Surprise You Details
ANIMAL WATCH-Brenda Barnette has announced her retirement as General Manager of the LA Animal Services Department, effective in early May. Who will be the new GM?
The General Manager is appointed by the Mayor and must then be confirmed by the LA City Council. Mayor Garcetti has named Dana Brown, who served as Assistant General Manager of the Animal Services Department from 2015 to 2018, as Interim General Manager until a permanent GM is selected.
A suggestion to Mayor Garcetti and the City Council: Animal Rescue Organizations, Animal Services Volunteers, Animal Activists, and Neighborhood Councils should have input into the choice of the permanent General Manager.
