As Recommended <br />? As Amended <br />? Ordinance on 1s' Reading <br />? Ordinance on 2nd Reading <br />? Implementing Resolution <br />? 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 <br />to 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 <br />shelter to the County of Orange Animal Shelter as a contracted service. At that time, City staff <br />evaluated several options to provide animal care shelter services. It was determined that <br />contracting with the Orange County Shelter was the most cost effective means of providing quality <br />service to the City. <br />The provisional contract amount for FY 2012-2013 is $1,017,904, which is a 15.5% increase in <br />estimated cost. The 15.5% increase is a projection based on the counties estimate of our <br />utilization of their services for the next fiscal year and not actual cost. The total actual payments <br />to the County of Orange will be based on actual usage of the services. We have evaluated other <br />shelters throughout the county and the county animal shelter is the only one that can provide the <br />service based on our utilization capacity. The County of Orange Animal Shelter has performed <br />satisfactorily and staff recommends approval of the agreement. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Funds are available in the Police Department's Animal Services, Other Contractual Services <br />account (account no. 01114430 62300). <br />W U- <br />Paul M.
