I t ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS Action Agenda Item No. 8-e., ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Meeting Date: September 21, 1999 SUBJECT: Annual Contract Renewal Between Animal Protection Society and Orange County for Animal Shelter Services DEPARTMENT: Health ATTACHMENT(S): Contract PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) INFORMATION CONTACT: Rosemary L. Summers TELEPHONE NUMBERS: - - ext. 2411 Hillsborough 732 -8181 Chapel Hill 968 -4501 Durham 688 -7331 Mebane 227 -2031 PURPOSE: To renew the contract between the Animal Protection Society and Orange County for Animal Shelter Services BACKGROUND: Each year Orange County contracts with the Animal Protection Society (APS) for sheltering services for animals. The APS estimates that it will provide sheltering services to 6,925 animals for an average of seven days each for the calendar year 1999. The APS also supports its programs through private donations and fees. The total APS budget is $519,986. The requested County support is $356,974. The Town of Carrboro's funding will be $2,369, the Town of Chapel Hill's funding will be $7,597, $84,481 is from private donations and $68,565 is from fees. This contract has traditionally come to the Board of Commissioners in September rather than June so that the Animal Protection Society can transact both the animal cruelty investigator appointments and the contract at a single meeting. If it is the Commissioners desire, the contract can be brought in June with the other annual contract renewals. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The contract amount of $356,974 is for the 1999 -2000 fiscal year and was included in the approved budget. RECOMMENDATON(S): The Manager recommends that the Board of Commissioners approve the 1999 -2000 contract with the Animal Protection Society in the amount of $519,986 for sheltering services.
