CC - Item 3D - Renewal of City-County Municipal Services Agreement with the County of Los Angeles for Animal Care and ControlROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL
STAFF REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JEFF ALLRED, CITY MANAGER
DATE: JUNE 24, 2014
SUBJECT: RENEWAL OF CITY- COUNTY MUNICIPAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH
THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES FOR ANIMAL CARE AND CONTROL
SUMMARY
The City Council will consider renewal of the Agreement with the County for Animal
Care and Control services for another five -year period from July 1, 2014 through June
30, 2019. The Agreement provides the City with the ability to obtain animal care and
control services through the County on an as- needed basis. This agreement would
allow for the continuation of the existing practices of providing animal care and control
services in the City of Rosemead. Currently, the City's Public Safety Department
performs the dog licensing function with in -house City employees. In addition, City
employees in the Public Safety Department perform animal control duties during normal
business hours, supplemented by on -call services rendered by the County on an as-
needed, on -call basis. The City also relies upon the County for animal sheltering and
care functions on a regular, recurring basis.
Staff Recommendation: That the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute
a City- County Municipal Services Agreement with the County of Los Angeles for Animal
Care and Control services for the period of July, 1, 2014 through June 30, 2019.
BACKGROUND
The City- County Municipal Services Agreement with the County Department of Animal
Care and Control enables the County to provide services to cities on a requested "as-
needed" basis. The City of Rosemead currently contracts for animal control, sheltering
and care services through the County, including animal shelter as well as weekend and
after -hours animal control services. This contractual arrangement is significant as the
City does not awn and operate an animal shelter. In addition, the City does not employ
animal control officers, rather, in -house civilian employees of the City's Public Safety
Department (i e., full -time Code Enforcement Officers and part-time Community
Services Officers) provide limited animal control duties and functions during normal
business hours.
The County's billing rates and a description of services provided are attached to the
proposed standard agreement. In addition, attached to the proposed agreement is a

BILLING RATE
The Department, in conjunction with the County Auditor - Controller, has completed the
development of its contract city billing rates for FY 2014 -15. The new rates are
summarized on the first page of the Attachment A. These rates have been approved by
the Auditor - Controller and will be effective on July 1, 2014.
In our letter dated March 31, 2014, we advised the client contract cities regarding our
revised methodology for calculating rates to capture the costs of providing shelter
medicine care to the animals. In examining this methodology and other factors, the
Department determined that this required further review and it would be premature to
implement this methodology without examining other mitigating factors. Therefore, for
Fiscal Year 2014 -15, we have continued using our current methodology to determine
contract city billing rates. In addition, the Department will be hiring a consulting firm to
review the billing rates and the methodology for determining those rates.
If you have any questions, please contact me or your staff may contact Ms. Whitney
Duong, Contract City Liaison, via email at wduonq @animalcare.lacountv.gov or
