At that time, City staff evaluated several options to <br />provide animal care shelter services. It was determined that contracting <br />with the Orange County Shelter was the most cost effective means of <br />providing quality service to the City. <br />The provisional contract amount for FY 2006-2007 is $504,280. The City <br />will be given a credit of $100,028 from FY 2004-2005 and FY 2005-2006 from <br />the County due to the reduced number of animals entering the shelter as <br />well as increased revenue from adoptions that offset our costs. The County <br />has implemented a master plan to address facility improvements that cannot <br />be postponed. The City of Santa Ana's portion for these facility <br />improvements is estimated at $31,744. The total projected agreement amount <br />is $359,384. The total actual payments to the County of Orange will be <br />based on actual usage of the services. The County of Orange Animal Shelter <br />has performed satisfactorily and staff recommends approval of the <br />agreement. <br />25W-1 <br />
