As part of the comprehensive animal care program, the City <br />leased a 24'x 63' commercial office trailer from Golden Office Trailers, Inc. <br />The customized office trailer was installed in 2000 to serve as a veterinary hospital with full <br />capabilities for surgery, radiographs, examinations, and recovery. In addition to being a <br />veterinary hospital, the commercial coach serves as office space for the contracted veterinarian <br />to prepare reports and medical records. <br />The trailer continues to serve the needs of the animal care program. The Friends of Santa Ana <br />Zoo has raised funds in grants and contributions in the amount of $29,975, which will be <br />contributed to the City for the purchase of the office trailer. The purchase of the office trailer will <br />save the City over $15,541 per year on future lease payments. <br />20B -1 <br />
