Re: Service Agreement/Shelter Improvement Fund
Ms. Adams,
Upon reviewing the agreements between the City of Grand Terrace and the City of San
Bernardino for animal control services for fiscal years 2011/12, 2012/13, and 2013/14 1
discovered that the 15% earmarked for the Shelter Improvement Fund was not specifically
identified. While this has no bearing on the fiscal year totals, it does have an effect as to the
Fund's balance when reconciling the account.
The original agreement became effective on April 5, 2010 and stated animal control services for
the City of Grand Terrace would have an annual cost of $104,184 through the term of the
agreement, which was April 1, 2010 through April 1, 2013. On March 18, 2013, the City of
Grand Terrace elected to extend this agreement for one single year at an annual cost of$121,629.
This extension is due to expire on March 31, 2014. Although factored in to the total annual cost,
both agreements failed to identify that amount to be set aside annually for the Shelter
Improvement Fund, which is a restricted account.
Based on my calculations, the City of Grand Terrace contributed $15,628 for FY 2011/12 and FY
2012/13 towards the Fund. The Shelter Improvement Fund that was built into the extension for
FY 2013/14 is $18,244. Again, these are not increases but merely identifying that the City of
Grand Terrace has and is contributing to the Shelter Improvement Fund and what those amounts
are.
LEADERS IN SETTING THE STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE
On behalf of Grand Terrace and as indicated in this correspondence, the amount stated in the
contract includes a Shelter Improvement Fund, which was intended to be used specifically on
shelter improvements. This letter is not intended to change any terms or conditions of the
contract but to simply clarify the existing contract. If you are in concurrence, I ask that you
execute this letter at the bottom and return the original to me.
Very tr v yours,
