Staffreport
RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff requests that the City Council review, approve, and authorize the City Manager to execute a new animal shelter services agreement with the Tri-City Shelter, which is owned and operated by the City of Fremont.
BACKGROUND
Attached for City Council review is a new animal sheltering service agreement between the City of Fremont's Tri-City Shelter and the City of San Leandro. The Police Department utilizes the Tri-City Shelter to provide quality animal sheltering services as part of its core services. The Police Department has utilized Tri-City Shelter's services since 2005 as part of a Joint Powers Authority (JPA). Tri-City also services the cities of Newark and Union City.
The City of Fremont sought to standardize the terms of service across all participating agencies to ensure a consistent fee schedule and service delivery. The new service agreement was structured on a cost-recovery model that updated the old JPA formula for the City of San Leandro. Annual costs are not scheduled to increase under this new formula. Annual costs for Fiscal Year 2016-17 were $134,215, which included pre-arranged lease fees paid annually. The new agreement sets annual costs for the City at $105,954. The new agreement is projected to be a cost savings to the City of nearly $30,000. Staff calculated Fiscal Year 2018-19 costs based on the City's three-year average. Actual costs may differ from projections; however, the costs will not exceed current appropriations levels within the Police Department's budget for Animal Control Services (account code: 010-22-001-5120). This new agreement is for a duration of three years with two optional three year extensions.
