Set Public Hearing For_ <br />CONTINUED TO <br />FILE NUMBER <br />Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and the Clerk of the Council to <br />execute an agreement with the County of Orange to provide animal care shelter services. <br />DISCUSSION <br />On January 6, 2003, the Council approved actions for the City's transition of operating its own shelter to <br />the County of Orange Animal Shelter as a contracted service. At that time, City staff evaluated several <br />options to provide animal care shelter services. It was determined that contracting with the Orange <br />County Shelter was the most cost effective means of providing quality service to the City. <br />The provisional contract amount for FY 2011-2012 is $903,470, which is a %34 increase in estimated <br />cost. The %34 increase is a projection based on the counties estimate of our utilization of their <br />services for the next physical year and not actual cost. The total actual payments to the County of <br />Orange will be based on actual usage of the services. We have evaluated other shelters throughout <br />the county and the county is the only one that can provide the service based on our utilization <br />capacity The County of Orange Animal Shelter has performed satisfactorily and staff recommends <br />approval of the agreement. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Funds are available in the Police Department's Animal Services, Other Contractual Services account <br />(account no. 01114420 62300). <br />Paul M.
