CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO -REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
SUBJECT
The Animal Control Division is requesting personnel changes for fiscal year 2001/2002 that
include the addition offour (4) part-time Animal License Checker positions.
BACKGROUND
The Animal Control Department currently has one (I) Senior Anima1 License Checker who
maintains all of the required information related to City dog licensing, conducts a minimwn of
two low cost rabies clinics per year and oversees four (4) part-time Animal License Checkers.
The addition of four (4) part-time Animal License Checker positions is necessary to be proactive
in the enforcement of the City animal laws and begin to reverse the upward trend of the stray
problem. State Law mandates that the City must meet the requirements of the California Rabies
Control Program, this program includes enforcement to ensure that all dogs over the age of four
months have current vaccines against rabies and current licenses within the City. While the City
is currently in compliance with this requirement, these additional positions will help the City
maintain compliance.
The proposed increase in staff will allow two (2) teams made up of four (4) Animal License
Checkers to be progressive within the community and concentrate their efforts in difficult and
time-consuming areas, such as trailer parks and apartment buildings. The increase in staff will
enable the Animal Control Department to be more proactive in collecting licensing and penalty
fees. Based on revenues generated to date, it is anticipated that the Animal License Checking
function will generate approximately $200,000 in revenues in FY 2000/01. Of this total the
existing License Checkers have generated approximately 70% or $140,000 of the total revenues.
It is estimated that the additional positions will realize at least a 75% increase in License Checker
revenues or approximately $105,000. This additional revenue will allow the requested positions
to pay for themselves. Additionally, it is anticipated that once a consistent history of increased
revenues has been established the division will be presenting to the Personnel Committee a plan
for adding additional field and kennel staff.
In addition to adding the Animal License Checkers, the department is requesting $15,000 to fund
the use of a temporary service to provide clerical support for the Animal License Checkers and
provide additional customer service in the office.
