MINUTE ORDER 00 -258 Recess - 9:35 -9:50 p.m. B) Agreement with the County of San Mateo for the provision of animal control services for the period of July 1, 2000 to June 30, 2003; (304) Police Sergeant Cesena explained the recommendation is that the City enters into an agreement with San Mateo County for animal control services. He further explained the services provided through the Peninsula Humane Society. The Countywide Animal Control Task Force consisting of representatives of all cities entered into negotiations with the County and Peninsula Humane Society. The costs increased dramatically and the reasons included the costs of new regulations involving the holding and treatment of animals in the shelter. Other costs effecting the increase were the addition of previously omitted costs of the Peninsula Society administrative and overhead costs, addition of capital costs relating to equipment and vehicle maintenance. DMG Maximus conducted an audit of the Peninsula Humane Society. The audit revealed that the past reimbursement level stipulated in the old contract was insufficient to cover the actual costs to provide the services requested by the County and its Cities. DMG Maximus determined the costs to provide the services for FY 2000/01 to be approximately $4.2 million, however the cost was negotiated down to be approximately $3.9 million. The contract also includes reimbursement to the Peninsula Humane Society for costs related to new regulations. To continue to use the services, the City will experience an increase of approximately $170,000.00 due largely to State mandates. Council comments included that large numbers of possum, raccoon and skunk reside in the City and that the issue must be considered through documentation of numbers and ways to address the problem.
