Ingram, City Manager FROM: Keith Kilmer, Chief of Police SUBJECT: FIRST AMMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF LONG BEACH TO PROVIDE ANIMAL CONTROL SERVICES SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Staff requests that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 6304 authorizing the City Manager to execute the First Amendment to the Operating Agreement between the City of Seal Beach and the City of Long Beach to ensure continuous animal control services, to implement CPI adjustments, and authorizing the City Manager to execute the agreement. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS: On July 1, 2010, the Agreement for Animal Control Services between the City of Long Beach and the City of Seal Beach commenced. The Agreement allowed the parties to extend the Agreement for two additional consecutive periods of two-years each, upon parties mutually agreeing to the provisions of the extension. The parties would then execute an amendment to the Agreement. Attached is the First Amendment to the Agreement, providing for a two-year extension of the agreement from July 1, 2012, to June 30, 2014. The First Amendment to the Agreement would increase the current cost to the City of $134,485 to $141,356. This is keeping with the Agreement to increase service costs based on the Los Angeles-Riverside-Orange County Area Consumer Price Index (CPI), as established by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. For the second year (FY13-14), the First Amendment applies a CPI increase, stipulating a range of the CPI from 0-8%. The City of Long Beach agrees to provide animal control services as delineated in the Agreement. Over the years, Long Beach Animal Control has become familiar with the Seal Beach community including the Friends of the Seal Beach Animal Care Center where strays are impounded. The community has made few complaints about Long Beach Animal Control services, and Long Beach has been responsive to those complaints. Agenda Item J ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: There is no Environmental Impact related to this item. LEGAL ANALYSIS: The City Attorney has reviewed and approved as to form. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The financial impact to the City is that animal service costs would increase by $6,871 for FY12-13 and increase in the range of 0-8% in FY13-14 based on the Consumer Price Index for the Los Angeles-Riverside-Orange County Area. It is anticipated that the total cost of the contract will decrease by 20% based on upcoming license fee canvassing efforts and revenue generated therefrom. The Agreement for FY11-12 was slated to be $134,485. However, following the collection of animal license fees, the actual contract costs were $108,305.11. It is anticipated that the same results will occur in FY12-13. The adopted budget for FY12-13 allocates $113,000 for Animal Services. It is anticipated that the final invoice from Long Beach Animal Services for FY12-13 will fall at or below that number. As such, no budget modification is required. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 6304 approving the First Amendment to the Operating Agreement between the City and the City of Long Beach to ensure continuous animal control services, to implement CPI adjustments, and authorizing the City Manager to execute the agreement.
