authorized by the Board in the existing contract with Dr. Marat Dubrovsky, d/b/a Nicks Road <br />Veterinary Clinic.) <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: The estimated value of this contract through the remainder of FY 2004- <br />2005 is approximately $37,080. Dr. Royce will be compensated on an actual fee for service <br />basis. The BOCC appropriated $132,000 in the Manager's Recommended Budget for <br />spay/neuter services with offsetting revenue through adoption fees estimated at $154,000. <br />While actual adoption fee income has been sufficient to defray spay/neuter costs, unanticipated <br />overages in additional line items related to animal care and disease prevention have created <br />financial pressure on the overall Animal Shelter budget. Staff is conducting a mid-year analysis <br />of the Shelter operating budget and will report its findings and the need for any budget transfer <br />within this fiscal year to the BOCC at an upcoming meeting. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the contract with <br />Dr. Wendy Royce, d/b/a "Pet Overpopulation Patrol - North Carolina - Mobile Spay/Neuter" for <br />spay/neuter services for the Orange County Animal Shelter, and authorize the Chair to sign the <br />contract following final review by staff and the County Attorney.
