ORANGE COUNTY ANIMAL CARE SHELTER & SERVICES <br />PAGE 12 <br />MARCH 24, 2016 <br />executing the two agreements. Attached is the final Participation Agreement and the <br />Agreement for Provision of Animal Care Services. These agreements were reviewed by the <br />City Attorney for Anaheim and the City of Garden Grove. A summary of Major Terms for both <br />agreements is attached. Please note that the exhibits for the Participation Agreement includes <br />a site map, initial conceptual design work, a copy of the executed NOI between SOCCCD and <br />the County, the maximum construction costs and participation formula (by city), payment <br />schedule (for the 10 -year city payments), and the Amended Services Agreement. <br />Although we had initially requested city commitments earlier in April, we are now requesting <br />cities execute both agreements by April 30th. There will be no cities added after that for a three <br />year period while design and construction is completed and the initial operational protocols are <br />developed at the new site. <br />Please provide a response by April 11th with the projected date your City Council will take <br />action and your planned recommendation as available. This information is important as these <br />two agreements will be presented to the Board of Supervisors for action on April 12, 2016. <br />I would also like to take this opportunity to share that the County is taking considerable efforts <br />to improve and upgrade the services provided by OC Animal Care. Most recently, the County <br />has secured the services of a Shelter expert to assist in evaluating our current practices, with <br />the expectation that she and her team will make recommendations regarding "best practices" <br />for Shelter operations. We expect that you will be contacted as a part of this effort. The final <br />recommendations will be reviewed with contract cities, animal advocates, rescues, and the <br />general public in the preparation of an action plan. Dr. Jennifer Hawkins, Shelter Director, is <br />available to provide details on this project and respond to any questions you may have <br />regarding the services provided by OC Animal Care. <br />Thank you for your assistance in expediting this matter. Your continued partnership in <br />providing Animal Shelter and Field Services is appreciated. Please give me a call at 714 -480- <br />2788 with any questions you may have regarding the two agreements. <br />Yours truly, <br />Ste a ks, irector <br />OC Community Resources <br />c: Frank Kim, County Executive Officer <br />Mark Denny, Chief Operating Officer <br />� Z`r <br />l <br />Date <br />Attachments: Summary of Major Terms <br />Participation Agreement <br />Agreement for Provision of Animal Care Services <br />
