2 <br /> households in Orange County. In 2008 the BOCC approved a budget of $15,000 to promote and <br /> provide these services to residents of the County for the current fiscal year. <br /> As a part of its Spay Neuter Day USA celebration, Animal Services will be undertaking its first major <br /> outreach effort to the general public during the months of February and March 2009. Outreach will <br /> consist of flyers and themed advertisements to promote the benefits of spaying and neutering pets as <br /> well as the new opportunity for qualifying Orange County households to obtain low-cost or no-cost <br /> surgeries for their pets. Flyers and advertisements will be paired with a media release to further <br /> inform the public of the problem of pet overpopulation and help offer low-cost solutions to those who <br /> may not otherwise have the means to spay and neuter their pets. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: The resolution has no financial impacts. Events planned for Spay Neuter Day <br /> USA in Orange County will involve outreach funds from the County's Community Spay/Neuter Fund <br /> to promote "The $20 Fix" program and the benefits of spaying and neutering pets. Total funds <br /> currently available to Animal Services to conduct Spay Neuter Day USA 2009 in Orange County are <br /> $1,500. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: The Manager recommends the Board approve the proposed resolution and <br /> authorize the Chair to sign. <br />
