The current animal control service agreement with SEAACA, a five year agreement, began July 1, 2004 and expires op June 30, 2009. Dan Morrison, Executive Director for SEAACA, forwarded the attached new agreement to our department and notified us that the SEAACA Board of Commissioners is proposing another agreement for a term of five years (July 1, 2009 -June 30, 2014). The proposed agreement includes fee increases and language that again allows for annual adjustment of fees. Please note #hat no fee adjustments were applied during the term of the current agreement. The fallowing is a comparison of unit costs of the current agreement's rates and;the proposed agreement's rates: Type of Service 2004-09Cost 2009-14 Cast % Increase Field Officer Service, per hour $53.95 $58.27 8 Shelter of live animals; per animal, per day $7.34 $7.93 8 Special holding, quarantine impounds, per $13.84 $14.95 8 animal, per day Veterinary medical services $45.00 Same Impoundment: of livestock $27.75 $29.97 8 Use of special equipment, per hour $55.50 Same Based on the moderate increase in the proposed rates since the previous request t'ive years ago, and the perFormance by SEAACA in continuing to provide good service to businesses and the City, I am recommending that the attached agreement (three originals) with SEAACA be considered for approval by the City Council.
