sterilization procedures. This fee increase will serve not only to assist Dr. Miller in recovery of <br />actual costs of performing the sterilization procedures as well as maintaining the same level of <br />service, but also assisting to ensure continuance of positive relations between Dr. James Miller <br />and Orange County Animal Services. This is the first adjustment of the sterilization rate since <br />the County enfiered into contracts of this kind beginning July 1, 2005. <br />The sterilization surgeries authorized by this contract will continue to be performed by Dr. James <br />Miller, DVM, at the North Churton Street Animal Hospital in Hillsborough. Authorization of this <br />contract renewal with Dr. Miller will continue to enable the Orange County Animal Shelter to <br />sustain the sterilization capacity that is critical to the adoption of sterilized animals that do not <br />contribute to the problem of pet overpopulation. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: Dr. Miller will be compensated on an actual "fee for. service" basis at the <br />flat rate of $63 per sterilization surgery. The Manager's recommended budget for FY07-08 <br />includes sufficient cost and revenue projections to cover authorization of this contract. <br />RECOMMENDATION (S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the contract <br />renewal and authorize the Chair to sign the contract with Dr. James Miller, DVM, DBA North <br />Churton Street Animal Hospital, pending final review by staff and the County Attorney. <br />
