RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager and the Clerk of Council to execute the attached agreement with
Civic Collections, Inc., subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and
City Attorney, for collection of new and delinquent dog license fees and penalties in an amount
not to exceed $100,000.
DISCUSSION
Since April 2001, Civic Collections, Inc. (CCI) has been the City's collection agency for delinquent
dog license fees, penalties, and new dog license fees. Under the terms of this agreement, CCI is
compensated in the amount of fifty percent for each dog license fee collected, fifty cents for each
new dog license sold, and fifty cents for each rabies vaccination certificate issued. CCI is
projected to generate $120,000 for the city during the fiscal year based on current estimates.
Staff has conducted extensive research into other collection agencies for the 2009-10 fiscal
years. No other dog license collection service was found that send collectors out in person to
recoup license fees and certificates from residents. Staff recommends the renewal of this
agreement as CCI has performed satisfactorily.
FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of the recommended action will enhance the Dog License revenue account (account
no.01110002 51003) in the Fiscal Year 2010-11 budget.
