DATE: June 9, 2003
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
VIA: John B. Bahorski, City Manager
FROM: John T. Schaefer, Acting Chief of Police
SUBJECT: After Hours Animal Control Services for 2003 - 2004
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
The Seal Beach Police Department is requesting City Council authorization for an
amendment/extension of Agreement Number 27863, for after hours animal control
services with the City of Long Beach. This amendment/extension of our existing
agreement is for the period from July 1, 2003, through June 30, 2004. The terms of this
agreement else wise remain the same.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Seal Beach currently contracts with the City of Long Beach for after hours
animal control services. This contract is strictly for animal control services, and not
animal shelter services. Under the terms of this agreement animals picked up in Seal
Beach are taken to Seal Beach Animal Care Center (Section 2.C.4). The current
agreement expires on June 30, 2003. The City has been very satisfied with the services
provided by the City of Long Beach and even suggested during budget hearings that, if
needed, Long Beach Animal Control Services could be used in conjunction with the Seal
Beach Animal Shelter and still provide a no -kill facility at a reduced cost.
The City has been very satisfied with the services provided by the City of Long Beach,
and even suggested during budget hearings that Long Beach, in conjunction with the Seal
Beach Animal Shelter, could provide full time Animal Control Services on a contract
basis as a cost savings measure.
The City of Long Beach has agreed to provide this after hour service for the same annual
cost of $13,500.
AGENDA ITEM H
FISCAL IMPACT:
Utilization of this contract service provides 24 -hour animal control services without
overtime or stand -by pay. Funds for this contract have been budgeted in the 2003/2004
in account number 001 - 029 -4500.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City's after hours animal control service contract with the City
of Long Beach be extended through fiscal year 2003/2004 and that City Staff be directed
to sign the Amendment to Agreement 27863 for animal control services with the City of
Long Beach.
