SUBJECT: EXTENSION TO THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH
PASADENA HUMANE SOCIETY & SPCA FOR ANIMAL CONTROL
SERVICES IN THE AMOUNT OF $75,496.46
Recommendation: Approve
SUMMARY
The existing Professional Services Agreement ( "Agreement ") with the Pasadena Humane
Society & SPCA ( "PHS ") for animal control services expires on June 30, 2014. It is
recommended that the City Council authorize and direct the City Manager to execute a
one year extension to the Professional Services Agreement with PHS from July 1, 2014,
through June 30, 2015, in the amount of $75,496.46.
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 Agreement with PHS requires the City to pay $74,016.14 for animal
control services; however, to extend services for FY 2014 -15, the fee is $75,496.46. This
agreement price reflects a 2% Consumer Price Index increase, which equates to an
increase of $1,480.32.
FISCAL IMPACT
For the term of the Professional Services Agreement, from July 1, 2014, to June 30, 2015,
the fee for animal control services will be $75,496.46. This amount has been budgeted in
the City's Operating Budget for FY 2014 -15.
