4 <br /> members of the board... it shall be considered at the next regular meeting of the board." The <br /> Board- then has 100 days after introduction of the ordinance to adopt the change to the <br /> ordinance. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: The unified animal ordinance has no financial impacts in and of itself. <br /> Because it does not create new laws b-ut rather brings together the best elements of existing <br /> ordinances, its enactment will not entail additional services or additional layers for existing <br /> services. To the extent that Ahere is a unified ordinance in the County for the first time, it is <br /> hoped and expected that service will become more effective and efficient as a result of there <br /> being more coherence and clarity about the general regulatory framework for animal-care and <br /> control-in the County. <br /> The one area in which there will be financial impacts relates to the changes proposed by the <br /> ASAB and staff for the recovery of intact (or reproductive animals) and the microchip <br /> requirement for recovered stray animals. The fees for each of these are part of the Manager's <br /> recommended budget for Animal Services and their net effect is expected to produce <br /> approximately $12,000 more in net revenue per annum. More specifically, there would be an <br /> annual increase of approximately $5,000 in animal recovery fees (with no offsetting <br /> expenditures); and an annual increase of approximately $10,000 fee from microchips (minus <br /> ap-proximately $2,800 for their purchase). <br /> Given the County's commitment to more effectively-managing pet overpopulation, it deserves to <br /> be said that these-changes are expected to help control medium and long term animal care and <br /> control costs by-increasing the number of spayed and neutered cats and dogs in the community <br /> and reuniting a greater portion of lost animals with their owners. The fee changes should also <br /> help to create more substantial incentives- (and disincentives) for residents as they consider <br /> whether to sterilize their dogs and cats as a part of being a responsible pet owner. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board adopt the Unified Animal <br /> Control Ordinance with an effective date of July 1, 2013. <br />
