DISCUSSION
Since 1987, the City of National City has contracted with the Chula Vista Animal Care Facility to provide shelter and medical services to its residents. The City of National City desires to continue to contract for these services, and their City Council approved the attached agreement on June 6, 1017.
The City of National City conducts its own Animal Control and licensing functions through their Police Department. Animal Control officers use the CVACF for shelter services when they impound animals. National City residents bring stray animals and relinquishments to the shelter as well. The attached agreement is for a three year term effective June 1, 2017, with two additional one-year options to extend the contract.
The pricing is based upon animal intake for the most recent calendar year. In 2016, animal intakes from the City of National City comprised approximately 20% of the animal intake. The contract price of $422,086 for FY18 is commensurate with that proportion of shelter use.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site-specific and consequently, the 500-foot rule found in California Code of Regulations Title 2, section 18702.2(a)(11), is not applicable to this decision for purposes of determining a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.).
Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict of interest in this matter.
LINK TO STRATEGIC GOALS
The City’s Strategic Plan has five major goals: Operational Excellence, Economic Vitality, Healthy Community, Strong and Secure Neighborhoods and a Connected Community. This action supports the Healthy Community goal by providing quality Animal Care Services to the South Bay.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of the resolution results in no net fiscal impact to the General Fund. These funds are currently budgeted in the Animal Care Facility budget for fiscal year 2017-18.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
There is no new ongoing fiscal impact to the General Fund resulting from approval of this resolution as the appropriation is fully offset by the revenue generated through this contract. Future allocations for these costs will be considered as part of the normal budget process.
