Dear Mr. Ziemer:
All Governmental Administrators are well aware of the increa.sing cost of
providing necessary public services to our citizens. Our department is
no exception to this problem, we too must compete in today's market for
employees, services and supplies.
Under our City-County contract for Animal Control no direct charge is
made to the City for Service. Our revenue, which offsets the cost of
operations, is received from the collection of Dog License fees and
Center fees.
Through the use of strict expenditure controls and prudent and timely
management techniques we have been able toprovide a very acceptable
level of services, since 1958, without an increase in fees. It is now
apparent that we must request a fee increase in order to bring them
more in line with those in effect in other jurisdicition and offset
our increased cost experience.
We have requested the Board of Supervisors to take action in two areas.
Review and realign the various Center fees and establish a new rate to
be effective early in the fiscal year. Secondly, and the matter which
requires immediate attention, to increase the Dog License ~ee, from the
present fee of $4.00 to $5.00, an increase of $1.00 each. The change to
be effective July 1, 1971 in order to correspond with the new licensing
period. These changes are currently in process.
Our request would be to your City Council to ratify this change of fee
as it applies to your City. In certain instances it will be necessary
to amend the City Ordinance, either by reference to the County Ordinance
or amend directly the City Ordinance.
Mr. F. A. Ziemer:
(2)
June 24, 1971
Ratification of the Center fee changes will be e~quested upon completion
of the cost study and establishment of proper rates.
We will be at your disposal for any possible assistance and will provide
copies of the County Ordinance as quickly as they are available.
