Continue the finding, first made by the Board of Supervisors on September 23, 2025, that there
is substantial evidence that immediate action is needed to prevent or mitigate the threat to
animal life, animal health, property and essential public services posed by the cessation of
contracted animal shelter services in the High Desert region effective September 1, 2025, after
the Town of Apple Valley voted to cancel the existing animal services contract, which resulted
in a reduction of essential shelter and animal care resources, and that this emergency will not
permit the delay resulting from a formal competitive solicitation of bids to procure materials and
construction services, and delegating authority originally by Resolution on September 23, 2025,
to the Chief Executive Officer to direct the Purchasing Agent to issue purchase orders and/or
contracts, in a total amount not to exceed $4,436,154, for any construction, remediation, and
modifications of internal and external structures related to the sudden and unexpected loss of
use of the Apple Valley Animal Shelter, and find that the issuance of these purchase orders
and/or contracts are necessary to respond to this emergency pursuant to Public Contract Code
sections 22035 and 22050 (Four votes required).
