Due to budget constraints and the overcrowding of animals at the shelter, these cities were notified in February of 2009 that their contracts would be terminated effective June 30, 2009. In response, the cities requested that animal housing services be extended for six months to allow them sufficient time to evaluate their options for obtaining an alternative provider. On July 6th of this year, the Common Council approved the agreements extending this service to the three contracting cities until December 31, 2009. The revenue associated with these three agreements provided funding for some shelter improvements and allowed the City to continue to fund four positions slated to be eliminated on June 30, 2009. Since that time, all three cities have expressed interest in pursuing an Animal Shelter Joint Powers Authority (JPA) arrangement with the City of San Bernardino. In order to allow time for a JPA to be studied and brought back to the Mayor and Common Council for consideration, staff is recommending the approval of new agreements with the three cities extending animal housing services for eighteen months (January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011). The cities have agreed to additional fee increases that will allow for much needed improvements to the shelter facilities and to pay for consultant services to study the JPA. Further, the increased revenue will allow the City to retain the four positions and restore two positions. In addition to the cities of Fontana, Colton, and Grand Terrace, staff will inquire with surrounding cities as to their interest in participating in a JPA. Staff anticipates bringing a professional services agreement for the JPA study to the Mayor and Common Council for the approval by the end of this year. Staff is hopeful that a JPA would allow the City to build a larger shelter facility, which would become an asset to the City and surrounding jurisdictions for years to come. Financial Impact: To continue providing animal housing services to the three cities for an additional eighteen months, Animal Control is requesting that the four positions extended in July 2009 be made permanent (Animal Kennel Supervisor, Animal Shelter Attendant (2), and Senior Customer Service Rep/Dispatcher) and that two positions be restored (Animal Control Officer and Senior 1 Customer Service Rep/Dispatcher) to the FY 2009/2010 Adopted Budget. 1 { gg S 7 REVENUE FY 2009/10 (housing and FY 2010/11 (housing and improvement im rovements Fontana $273,960 $547,920 Colton $ 91,308 $182,616 Grand Terrance $ 12,072 $ 249144 TOTAL REVENUE $3773340 $754,680 BUDGET FY 2009/10 FY 2010/11 Personnel $168,819 $3453985 Materials and supplies $ 27,500 $ 403000 Professional Services $ 60,500 $ 65,000 Alterations and Renovations $ 50,000 $100,000 Education and Training $ 500 $ 500 TOTAL EXPENSES $307,319 $5519 485 The net savings to the General Fund in FY 09/10 is $70,000 and the net savings to the General Fund in 10/11 will be $203,195.
