§ 10.28.270. Animal Facility Grading—Bases for Grading.

A.

The purpose of the Animal Facility Grade Card is to provide notice to the public of the grade earned by an animal facility at the time of the most recent inspection of the facility. The grading standards are stated in the Animal Facility Inspection Report, which is available upon request from any County animal care center.

B.

The letter grade reflected in the Animal Facility Inspection Report is based on the facility's level of compliance with applicable state statutes, local ordinances, and policies relating to the care of animals. The grade is based on the animal facility's final score:

1.

Grade of A: 90% and above;

2.

Grade of B: 80% to 89%;

3.

Grade of C: 70% to 79%. A score of 70% is the minimum grade required to maintain a license in good standing. A score of less than 70% will result in recommendations by the Department regarding licensing or legal action to be taken as set forth in Section 10.28.290.
