FILE NUMBER
Authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to execute the attached one -year agreement
with the County of Orange to provide animal care shelter services, in the amount of $1,123,123
subject to non - substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney.
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. Animal care
shelter services include retention of impounded animals at the County's animal care shelter, public
safety display of animals to allow owner identification, sale or release of impounded animals to
residents, animal evaluation for adoption, public education, euthanasia and disposal of animals that
are neither redeemed nor adopted, veterinary services, spay and neuter procedures, and necropsies
for animals that die under suspicious circumstances or at the request of law enforcement.
The FY 2014 -2015 contract amount of $1,123,123 is an estimate based on the counties projection of
our utilization of their services for the next fiscal year. The total actual payments to the County of
Orange will be based on actual usage of the services. We have evaluated other shelters in the area
and the County is the only one that can provide the service based on our utilization capacity. The
County of Orange Animal Shelter has performed satisfactorily and staff recommends approval of the
agreement.
