• The City of Boston's Animal Control Division adopted out more than twice as many pets in FY09 than it had projected. The Division expects to achieve even more in FY10 as part of the Mayor's Animal Pet Adoption campaign. Responding to a reported higher instance of pet abandonment, the Animal Control Division is working with other local non-profits to find safe and caring homes for dogs, cats, and other pets.
• The City's Graffiti Busters Unit managed to perform more graffiti removal projects than it received in requests in FY09. To identify and remove even more graffiti in FY10, the Graffiti Busters Unit will be conducting a graffiti removal blitz in late August.
• In FY09, the Property Management Division substantially completed a variety of major construction projects that will help green municipal operations, improve City services, and lower the City's operational costs. Some of the highlights included the refurbishment of the Rivermoor Archives, the implementation of the City Hall energy efficiency project, and the repair of the Veronica Smith Senior Center.
• Attendees to special events covers event attendance at both Faneuil Hall and City Hall Plaza. Fairly seasonal in nature, this measure gives a sense of the scale of event management and clean-up that Property Management must participate in. In recent years, this measure has been driven up by Boston's many sports-related championship rallies. Consequently, with no such celebrations in FY09, attendance dropped below previous years' results, as well as below anticipated totals.
