FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact to the consideration of the suggested scenario of events. There is an increased cost associated with the ,APS request for additional month-to-month funding for current Shelter operations, in the amount of $4,229, and there is a cost (yet to be determined by competitive bid) for a new contractor to run the Shelter on an interim basis through the end of the fiscal year. County staff has also already projected an initial figure exceeding $1 million for the first year operation of the Shelter under County auspices. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board: 1. Deny the APS request for additional monthly funding in the amount of $10,636 through January 31, 2004 because: a) The line item approach for funding the APS is requesting is different from established practice with other non-profit partners b) A significant portion of the increase relates to personnel decisions made solely by the APS Board 2. Consider the analysis for additional funding and approval of additional funding in the amount of $4,229 to the APS on a monthly basis for December 2003 -January 2004, because it relates most directly to the desired operation of the Shelter as described by HSUS in their report. 3. Should the Board decide to grant an increase in monthly funding to APS - as referenced above -the Manager recommends that the increase be effective October 1, 2003. 4. Direct the County Manager to convey the Board's decision on additional funding to the APS and request formal written response no later than November 5, 2003. 5. Approve the key components of the Request for Proposal, far Interim Animal Shelter Management and Operation Services (Identified as 1-7 on page 3), with any modifications or alterations as may be desired. 6. Provide further direction to the County Manager at the Board meeting on November 18.
