FINANCIAL IMPACT
This item does not impact Discretionary General Funding (Net County Cost). The Department of Public Health (DPH) may receive an increase in revenue up to $1,009,249 for the provision of animal care and control services and license canvassing services. The costs associated with providing these services are reimbursed by the cities and/or offset by the revenue collected on behalf of the cities by the County. Amendment amounts were calculated based on estimated salary and benefit costs and ongoing operating costs associated with the provision of these services. Adequate appropriation and revenue will be included in DPH’s 2020-21 recommended budget.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Under the terms of the recommended amendments, DPH will continue to provide animal care and control services for the cities of Highland and Yucaipa for an additional year through June 30, 2021, and increase the total contract revenue amounts for this extension. The amendment with the City of Yucaipa also includes additional funds for license canvassing services.
The DPH Animal Care and Control (ACC) program has provided animal care and control services to the unincorporated regions of San Bernardino County for decades, and has also provided similar services to various cities within San Bernardino County. Full scope animal care and control services include field services, licensing, low cost rabies and vaccination clinics, impounding and shelter services, after-hours emergency services, and final disposition. DPH has provided animal care and control services to the City of Highland residents since 1997, and the City of Yucaipa residents since 1990.
On June 24, 2014 (Item No. 65), the Board of Supervisors (Board) approved revenue Contract No. 14-613 with the City of Highland, and Contract No. 14-615 with the City of Yucaipa for animal care and control services, for the period of July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015. Since that time, the Board has approved multiple amendments to the revenue contracts for additional services and annual extensions for continued animal care and control services.
