AGENDA STAFF REPORT _
``C4CtiFORN.i�
DATE: April 24, 2017
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: Jill R. Ingram, City Manager
FROM: Joe Miller, Interim Chief of Police
SUBJECT: AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF LONG BEACH TO
PROVIDE ANIMAL CONTROL SERVICES
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 6731 authorizing the City Manager to
execute the agreement between the City of Seal Beach and the City of Long
Beach to ensure continuous animal control services, and to implement CPI
adjustments.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
On July 1, 2010, the Agreement for Animal Control Services ( "Agreement')
between the City of Long Beach and the City of Seal Beach commenced. The
Agreement allowed two additional consecutive periods of two years each. The
City agreed to the First Amendment during the City Council meeting held
August 13, 2012. The City agreed to the Second Amendment at the City Council
meeting held September 8, 2014. The Second Amendment to the Agreement
provided for a two -year extension of the Agreement from July 1, 2014 to June 30,
2016.
The proposed agreement accompanying this report would be effective from
July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2018. It also allows 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 proposed agreement
would increase the cost to the City from $150,657 to $158,190. The new base
cost is similar to previous agreements, given that it is based on the City of Seal
Beach contract percentage of the overall budget of Long Beach Animal Control.
Further increases during this proposed agreement are in keeping with the original
Agreement to adjust 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.
At the February 27, 2017 City Council meeting, City Council directed staff to
explore options for animal control services other than contracting with Long
Agenda Item K
Beach Animal Control. Staff contacted Orange County Animal Control and was
informed there is currently a moratorium on new contracts. Staff identified other
options to include: seeking outside agencies that would be willing to contract with
the City, an enhanced service agreement with the City of Long Beach, or the
restoration of a Seal Beach Animal Control Department. Staff requests up to
ninety days to conduct an analysis of all potential animal control options.
Between the February 27, 2017 City Council meeting and the completion of this
report, the City of Long Beach has advised the City of Seal Beach that without a
signed contract, there is substantial risk of termination of this agreement. If the
City of Long Beach chooses to exercise the termination of service, the City of
Seal Beach will be without animal control services. Considering the time it will
take to research the alternatives, staff currently recommends renewing the
contract with the City of Long Beach. The City of Seal Beach reserves the right to
cancel this agreement at any time with a thirty -day notice.
With renewal of this contract, the City of Long Beach agrees to provide
continuous animal control services as delineated in the proposed agreement.
Long Beach Animal Control has become familiar with the Seal Beach community
over the years, including the Seal Beach Animal Care Center where strays are
impounded.
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
$7,533 for FY16 -17 and increase in the range of 0 -8% in FY17 -18 based on the
Consumer Price Index for the Los Angeles- Riverside - Orange County Area. The
adopted budget for FY16 -17 allocates $162,300 for Animal Services. It is
anticipated that the final invoice from Long Beach Animal Services for FY16 -17
will fall at or below that number following the collection of animal license fees and
citation payments.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 6731 authorizing the City Manager to
execute the new agreement between the City of Seal Beach and the City of Long
Beach to ensure continuous animal control services, and to implement CPI
adjustments.
