SUMMARY
The City has a professional services agreement with the Pasadena Humane Society &
SPCA (PHS) for animal control services, which will expire on June 30, 2013. It is
recommended that the City Council approve the professional services agreement
extension with PHS from July 1, 2013, through June 30, 2014, in the amount of
$74,016.14.
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 throughout 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 $72,564.84 for
animal control services; however, to extend services for FY 2013 -14, from July 1, 2013,
through June 30, 2014, the fee is $74,016.14. This contract price reflects a 2% Consumer
Price Index increase, an increase of $1,451.30.
