6.1.E. - Page 2 Currently the City's percentage share for the agreement is 13.25 %. The final annual percentages will not be precisely determined until the actual annual levels of service provided to Redwood City are known. Additionally, the actual annual county wide costs (on which cities' shares will be based) will take into consideration the annual expenses and revenues for any animal control and licensing services the County provides beyond those provided by PHS (such as licensing, processing /maintaining dangerous and vicious animal hearings, service animal designations, and spay /neuter voucher program, etc.). Over the last four years, that final annual county wide cost to be shared by the cities /County has typically been an average of 18% lower than the PHS contract amount. Shown below are the initial total county wide annual costs (before taking into account the County's actual expenses /revenues), and the City's estimated annual costs based on the current 13.25% distribution for Redwood City. Fiscal Year County wide Cost Redwood City's Share (estimated) 2011-12 $5,236,875 $693,886 2012-13 $5,417,797 $717,858 2013-14 $5,608,170 $743,083 2014-15 $5,944,135 $787,598 The cities and County may also be responsible for their appropriate portions (based on the same formula and percentage distribution as the annual fees) of an additional $50,000 per fiscal year, which would be forwarded by the County to PHS for its use to complete requested and approved maintenance and repairs to the animal control services facility. In each fiscal year of the contract, the additional repair and maintenance funds would not be paid until after PHS has expended specified minimum amounts on deferred repairs and maintenance (an amount of up to $400,000 over the term of the four year period covered by this amendment). Redwood City's estimated share of these annual repair and maintenance funds would amount to an additional $6,625 per fiscal year. Finally, County Dispatch will invoice the cost for after - hours /holiday calls for animal control and licensing, to be paid by the County and the cities by the same percentage distribution as their annual fees. This cost fluctuates from year to year, but can be up to $80,000 per year. Redwood City's estimated share of the County Dispatch fees would be up to $10,600 annually. ALTERNATIVES Currently there are no viable alternatives available to the City for animal control services. During the term of this agreement the City, along with the other cities which are party to the agreement, will investigate alternatives for providing animal control services.
