Good afternoon, council members and community participants.
6:30:24
My name is Lily Kaminsky.
6:30:26
I'm a health informatologist, data scientist, and one of the founders of Trappery.
6:30:30
Today, I'm here to provide a brief overview of our team's upcoming objectives and plans.
6:30:35
In its first phase, Trappery acts as an all in one platform for managing appointments and services for rescues and certified individuals.
6:30:43
Consolidating and streamlining scheduling and certification verification across all clinics.
6:30:48
For clinics, Trappery consolidates a specialized subset of low cost services and users, reducing administrative burdens with automated process sees and saving valuable time.
6:30:58
With their support and participation, our system will enhance efficiency and generate critical data, which is currently missing on trends, demands, and regional needs, providing the city with valuable insights to allocate funds and resources more effectively.
6:31:12
After a successful launch, we will introduce a mobile feature to centralized coordination for certified individuals and rescues, streamlining tasks like trapping transport, holding space while generating field data to further provide future funding and resource allocation.
6:31:26
Our solution can scale across boroughs.
6:31:28
But for now, we propose starting with a pilot program in Brooklyn where there is a high feral cap population and existing infrastructure.
6:31:36
We see community and city support along with modest investment to cover our pilots operational and development costs, ensuring our platform is free for all users.
6:31:45
This investment could come from the city, private owners, investors, or anyone committed to addressing this persistent problem with a modern solution We welcome your feedback and support in building a better future for our community and the animals we care for.
