Fiscal Impact The draft 1995-96 Budget requested $63,257 for Animal Control Services for the new year. Back Ground The City has always contracted with the County of Orange to provide Animal Control and Shelter Services. During fiscal 89/90 the City of Tustin and other contract cities meet with the County to negotiate a new methodology of allocating costs to the contract cities. The method that we are currently using utilizes a current budget estimate net of prior period adjustments generated from year end accounting records. One prior year actual and one prior year estimate are adjusted against the current years estimate to arrive at the final contract Cost. Discussion The current contract with the County of Orange to provide Animal Control/Shelter Services to the City is extremely cost effective. The various contract Cities and the County worked well together in establishing an equitable revenue and cost allocation methodology. The first year under the new agreement the City of Tustin net expenses were estimated at $103,000. Current 1995-96 cost are estimated at $63,000, a reduction of 39% over four years. I've attached a copy of a schedule that compares cost for all contract cities and the County. a:animat .con 0 0 0
