SUMMARY The City has a professional services agreement with the Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA (PHS) for animal control services, and the current agreement will expire on June 30, 2012. It is recommended that the City Council approve the professional services agreement renewal with PHS from July 1, 2012, through June 30, 2013, in the amount of $72,564.84. DISCUSSION Since 1993, the City has had an agreement with PHS for animal control services. The agreement specifies that, as soon as practicable, unarmed humane officers will be dispatched to handle Arcadia calls for service. In an effort to resolve dog licensing concerns, PHS has a canvasser go door-to-door in the City to make sure dog owners are in compliance. PHS also has a computerized licensing renewal system and is working with local veterinarians in obtaining vaccination records and conducting follow-up contacts with pet owners. In addition, PHS offers low cost spay/neutering and vaccination services to Arcadia residents. The City's current annual agreement with PHS requires the City to pay $71,142.00 for animal control services, and the renewal fee for FY 2012/13 will be $72,564.84. This reflects a 2% Consumer Price Index increase, which equates to an increase of $1,422.84 per annum.
