'!N.J.. fV\.tfI. ~ CI ANAGER\ FILE NUMBER RECOMMENDED ACTION Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and the Clerk of the Council to execute an agreement with the County of Orange to provide animal care shelter services. DISCUSSION On January 6, 2003, the Council approved actions for the City's transition of operating its own shelter to the County of Orange Animal Shelter as a contracted service. At that time, City staff evaluated several options to provide animal care shelter services. It was determined that contracting with the Orange County Shelter was the most cost effective means of providing quality service to the City. The provisional contract amount for FY 2006-2007 is $504,280. The City will be given a credit of $100,028 from FY 2004-2005 and FY 2005-2006 from the County due to the reduced number of animals entering the shelter as well as increased revenue from adoptions that offset our costs. The County has implemented a master plan to address facility improvements that cannot be postponed. The City of Santa Ana's portion for these facility improvements is estimated at $31,744. The total projected agreement amount is $359,384. The total actual payments to the County of Orange will be based on actual usage of the services. The County of Orange Animal Shelter has performed satisfactorily and staff recommends approval of the agreement. 25W-1 Animal Shelter Services November 20, 2006 Page 2 FISCAL IMPACT Funds are available in the Contractual Services account CJlJj.lL Paul M.
