6.1. - Page 2 of 82 construction cost repayment to the County. PHS has already approved a one-year extension to its agreement with the County of San Mateo. The County is evaluating the existing County agreement with PHS and the County has requested the cities enter into a one-year extension to facilitate that evaluation before making recommendations regarding a new long-term contract. ANALYSIS Under the current agreement, the total cost of the PHS contract in FY 2019-20 is $6,625,381 to provide the 21 jurisdictions with field enforcement, impounding, sheltering, pick up of deceased animals and other services. For the one-year extension of the agreement (FY 2020-21), there will be no cost increase. The cost for animal control services also includes reimbursement to the County for its services in administering the animal control contract and providing other related services. Charges are based on actual County expenditures and are estimated to be $466,000 in FY 2020-21. The method of allocating total animal control service costs across the participating jurisdictions is described below. For FY 2019-20, the City of Redwood City's share of the cost is 12.39% (the second largest among the jurisdictions), resulting in a payment of $733,074. Cost Allocation Methodology: Costs for animal control services are allocated to the participating agencies based on a three-year weighted average of each agency's use of services (41% field services/59% shelter services), with an adjustment made to net out the revenue from animal licensing and vaccinations. The weighting considers use of both "field services," such as response to calls related to stray animals, animal attacks and dead animal removal and "sheltering services," which include impounding, housing and medical care of stray and surrendered animals. FISCAL IMPACT Redwood City's estimated FY 2020-21 allocation payment for animal control services is $680,982. -This amount is included in the FY 2020-21 Recommended Budget. The City's allocation of the total is calculated based on a three-year average of service usage as explained above.
