Orange County, NC <br /> Service Reduction Impact Statement <br /> FY 2009-10 <br /> In the table below, provide details regarding the proposed changes/reductions in <br /> current service delivery models. Include as much detail as possible including <br /> comparisons of current and next year work caseloads, clients, etc. Each service <br /> change/reduction outlined on the department's budget request excel spreadsheet <br /> must have a corresponding explanation on this form. NOTE: This form <br /> includes pre-formatted sections for three service delivery change <br /> proposals. Departments may need to expand this form to include all <br /> changes being proposed. <br /> Department Animal Services <br /> S-1 Proposal <br /> Cost savings associated with the move in to the new Animals Services Center <br /> and realignment of resources to perform in-house sterilization for adoptable <br /> animals. <br /> S-11 Fiscal Impact (This number should correspond to the amount included <br /> on the department's budget request excel spreadsheet) <br /> $14,779.00 <br /> S-1 Description — Describe, in detail, the service delivery impact of the <br /> proposed reduction/change. <br /> There should be no service delivery impact associated with the line items listed in <br /> these categories. Instead, these will be cost savings associated with the move to <br /> the new facility and the realignment of resources to provide sterilization services <br /> on an in-house. Due to the fact that we have three divisions that are currently <br /> located in three separate locations within the county and will be coming together <br /> •for the first time in one location, or resource realignment, we should see <br /> decreases in the following areas: <br /> 1-Mileage (-$1,200.00) reimbursement and motor pool (-$5,104.00). We will <br /> be able to conduct staff and manager meetings without having to travel between <br /> two or three different locations. Travel that is usually associated with Animal <br /> Control officers having to transport animals to the Animal Shelter in Chapel Hill <br /> and then returning to the Animal Control Office in Hillsborough will no longer be a <br /> cost factor. Similarly, there will be savings insofar as the Animal Control Officer <br /> that currently works in the Chapel Hill will no longer have to drive to Hillsborough <br /> for staff meetings The largest cost savings will be from performing in-house <br /> sterilization versus outsourcing these surgeries since the latter requires <br /> transporting animals to veterinary clinics in Mebane and Hillsborough. <br /> 77 <br />
