2 <br />inspection of a scene by an on duty Police Officer is expected to reduce the amount and <br />costs of emergency after hour animal service. <br />The renewal also provides for the County to collect the Town's pet license fees (as well <br />as its own) and remit or credit that amount to the Town in a manner that is mutually <br />agreeable to both the Town and the County. This has been the practice for a number of <br />years, and recently it became a component of the agreement between the Town and <br />the County. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: The proposed agreement renewal will provide revenue to the <br />County of $83,818 for FY2010 -2011. The fee for the proposed agreement was <br />determined by Animal Services and Financial Services on the basis of a careful <br />assessment of all costs involved in delivery of field services to the Town of Chapel Hill. <br />Because it includes a surcharge to cover indirect costs, the service fee is $8,818 higher <br />than the FY 2009 -2010 amount. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the <br />agreement renewal and authorize the Chair to sign the agreement with the Town of <br />Chapel Hill pending approval of the FY 2010 -2011 budget and subject to review and <br />approval of the Guidelines for After Hours Emergency Calls by the County Attorney's <br />Office. <br />
