DISCUSSION The Treasury and Customer Service Division of the Finance and Management Services Agency is responsible for managing the City’s dog licensing program. Currently, it uses an in-house software program that has been used for over 20 years. Due to the age of this in-house dog licensing program, there are limited technological capabilities and it does not offer a customer portal website that is user-friendly for Santa Ana residents to initiate or renew a dog license online. After reviewing available software, staff found there is only one feasible option to meet the City’s needs. Therefore, staff recommends utilizing PetData, Inc. (“PetData”) as the sole source provider for the City’s dog license program. PetData is the largest animal licensing organization in the U.S. and is the only private company currently providing custom and comprehensive turnkey animal licensing program to municipalities. PetData is a company whose sole purpose is animal licensing. PetData has over 25 years of experience providing animal license services to municipalities. The company operates nationwide, processing millions of animal licenses and rabies vaccination certificates each year. PetData currently provides animal licensing services to neighboring southern California cities such as Torrance, Hawthorne, Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, Garden Grove, San Clemente-Dana Point, and Santa Barbara. Unlike other companies that sell licensing software, PetData is the only company that provides both user software and processing capabilities. Animal Licensing Services Agreement April 4, 2023 Page 2 3 3 6 3 PetData can handle all aspects of the City’s dog licensing program, including the following: processing animal license applications and renewals received online or by mail; providing customer service to residents via phone, email and mail; mailing renewal and reminder notices for expiring animal licenses; mailing new and replacement tags to pet owners; providing online access to licensing data for Animal Control and canvassing contractor, processing and updating rabies vaccination records; updating owner and pet information; collecting and processing animal licensing fees; providing sales and revenue reporting; and remitting revenue to the City. Additionally, PetData will provide information and forms for the City to use at public events and in veterinary offices. The City maintains ownership of all the data, which can be incorporated into existing City systems if necessary. PetData will also work with the County of Orange – Animal Services department, the City’s contracted animal shelter service provider. Furthermore, PetData provides a customized webpage dedicated to the City’s dog licensing program, which can be accessed through the City’s website. PetData provides a dedicated telephone number for residents to call for customer service, which includes an auto-attendant that provides basic registration instructions 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Therefore, staff recommends City Council approval of an agreement with PetData to allow and improve how Santa Ana residents can process and pay for a new or renewed animal license online. FISCAL IMPACT There would be a $1,000 start-up fee to cover all aspects of the City’s Start-Up with PetData, and includes PetData’s data conversion from City system, creation of manuals/ reports, license renewal/billing forms, web pages, auto-attendant phone scripts and all database preparation. Their fees for processing animal licenses are as follows: •For years 1-3 of the agreement, $4.30 for a one-year license or replacement tag •For years 4-5 of the agreement, $4.40 for a one-year license or replacement tag •A fee of $2.00 for each additional year after the first year for each multi-year license •A collection service fee of $2.50 for each late fee collected during the term of the agreement If a pet owner chooses to license online, PetData charges a convenience fee of $2.00 per transaction. Multiple pets may be licensed per transaction. Pet owners may mail their application or submit it in person at City Hall if they do not wish to pay the convenience fee. The minimum annual contract payment would be $6,000 per calendar year. To process the City’s 13,000 active dog licenses, the estimated annual expenditure for one-year licenses is $55,900. These fees would be deducted from the license revenue collected Animal Licensing Services Agreement April 4, 2023 Page 3 3 3 6 3 by PetData on behalf of the City. The annual expenditure will fluctuate depending on the number of licenses processed. The City will receive estimated net revenues of $544,100 (Gross revenue $600,000 – Fees $55,900 = Net Revenue $544,100). The revenues collected will be deposited into the Finance/Management Services – Management & Support, Dog Licenses account (No. 01110002-51002) and funds are budgeted in the current fiscal year and will be budgeted in subsequent fiscal years in the Finance/Management Services – Treasury / Customer Services, Contract Services- Professional account (No. 01110130-62300). The estimated fee of $55,900 is a new cost to the City. However, the workload for the City’s Information Technology department will decrease, as it will no longer need to maintain an antiquated custom-built system; and the City’s dog owners will receive a higher level of service.

EXHIBIT B COMPENSATION Fee Proposal including hourly rates if applicable EXHIBIT B - COMPENSATION TO CONTRACTOR In consideration of the Services, CONTRACTOR shall be entitled to the following compensation: A.Basic Fees. CITY shall pay to CONTRACTOR the following fees for all animal licenses issued during the term of this Agreement, regardless of whether they are issued by CITY, CONTRACTOR, veterinarians, or any other persons: 1)$4.30 for each one-year license or replacement tag and for the first year for each multi-year license (which amount is subject to adjustment as provided below). 2)$2.00 for each additional year after the first year for each multi-year license. 3)$2.50 collection service fee for each late fee, if any, paid by a Licensee during the term of this Agreement. The fee provided for in clause 1), above, will be adjusted as follows during any of the following periods that fall within the term of this Agreement: (a) commencing on the third (3rd) annual anniversary of the Execution Date and continuing until the fifth (5th) annual anniversary of the Execution Date, the fee provided for in clause 1), above, will be $4.40; and (b) if the term of this Agreement is for more than five (5) years, then, commencing on the fifth (5th) annual anniversary of the Execution Date and continuing on each annual anniversary of the Execution Date thereafter throughout the remaining term of this Agreement, the fee provided for in clause 1), as previously adjusted, will increase by an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the fee under clause 1) that is in effect immediately prior to the respective anniversary, and the fee, as so increased, will thereupon become the fee payable under clause 1) unless and until further adjusted in accordance with this clause (b). An animal license will be considered “issued” for purposes of this Agreement regardless of the means, method, program, process, or agency used for the issuance or registration of the license, and whether or not a fee or other consideration is charged or received by the CITY for the license. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, an animal license that is donated or issued free of charge by the CITY or that is issued as part of a bundling of CITY services or programs will be considered “issued” for purposes of this Agreement. Further, any animal license that is processed by CONTRACTOR for CITY during the term of this Agreement will be considered “issued” for purposes of this Agreement, whether or not the license was or is actually issued or delivered before, during, or after the term of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 6A, the parties agree that CONTRACTOR’s minimum aggregate fees under this Section A are $6,000.00 per calendar year. In order to assure the payment of such minimum aggregate annual fees to CONTRACTOR, the parties agree that if the aggregate fees payable to CONTRACTOR under this Section A for a calendar month would, but for the application of this sentence, be less than $500.00, then the aggregate fees payable to CONTRACTOR under this Section A for that calendar month will be $500.00. However, the foregoing minimum monthly amount will not be applicable if the aggregate fees paid to CONTRACTOR under this Section A have already equaled or exceeded, or in the opinion of CONTRACTOR are reasonably expected to otherwise equal or exceed, $6,000.00 for that calendar year. If the aggregate annual fees paid to CONTRACTOR under this Section A during any calendar year do not equal or exceed $6,000.00, then CITY shall pay an amount equal to the positive difference between (i) the amount previously paid to CONTRACTOR for that calendar year and (ii) $6,000.00, upon demand by CONTRACTOR. The $6,000.00 minimum annual amount shall be prorated for any partial calendar year during the term of this Agreement. No delay or failure on the part of CONTRACTOR in imposing or collecting the aforesaid monthly minimum amount shall affect CONTRACTOR’s right to receive the aforesaid minimum aggregate annual fees or to collect the aforesaid minimum aggregate monthly amount either then or in the future. CITY acknowledges that the aforesaid minimum fee amounts apply only to the fees payable to CONTRACTOR under this Section A, and do not include, by way of example and not by way of limitation, any Start-Up Fee payable to CONTRACTOR under Section B. The fees paid to CONTRACTOR under this Section A are further subject to reasonable adjustment in the event that CITY adds, modifies, or eliminates any fees that are charged to Licensees during the term of this Agreement.

Without limiting the other types of services that may be considered to be outside of the scope of the Services described in this Agreement, the following types of Services would be considered to be outside of the scope of the Services described in this Agreement and, therefore, the subject of additional compensation to CONTRACTOR: customized software projects; requests for new features in CONTRACTOR’s software; or requests for CONTRACTOR to implement new procedures or operations.

CITY may thereafter change the designation of the type of Bank Account to be utilized hereunder from time to time upon notice to CONTRACTOR, and CONTRACTOR will have a reasonable time in order to effect any such requested change. CITY will reimburse CONTRACTOR for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by CONTRACTOR in connection with any change in the type of Bank Account utilized hereunder. CITY acknowledges and consents that CONTRACTOR may make an initial deposit into a Maintained Account from CONTRACTOR’s funds in order to establish the account, which initial deposit will be refunded or otherwise reimbursed to CONTRACTOR.

C. Direct Collections by CITY. If CITY collects any animal license fee or any other amount that is subject to this Agreement directly from a Licensee, veterinarian or other source, other than CONTRACTOR, CITY may either forward the amount collected to CONTRACTOR within fifteen business days for deposit into a Maintained Account, if a Maintained Account is in effect, or retain the amount.
