MEETING DATE: AUGUST 7, 2006
TO: WILLIAM A. HUSTON, CITY MANAGER
FROM: RONALD A. NAULT, FINANCE DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: ANIMAL CARE SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2006-2007
SUMMARY:
The City Council is requested to approve the Fiscal Year 2006-2007 Animal Care Services contract
with the Orange County Health Care Agency.
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Mayor to sign the Animal Care Services agreement for Fiscal Year 2006-2007.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The 2006-2007 Budget approved on July 17, 2006 includes $141,000 that was projected for Animal
Care services for the 2006-2007 fiscal year. The County has estimated our actual expenses will be
$130,505 for the fiscal year.
BACKGROUND:
The City has historically contracted with the County of Orange to provide Animal Control and Shelter
Services. Since 1989-1990 the County has billed for services on a provisional basis, utilizing
estimates and prior period debits or credits. Effective with the 2006-2007 contract period, the County
is converting to an actual cost, billed quarterly, system. The County is estimating Tustin's Animal
Care expenses for fiscal 2006-2007 to be $130,505 based on our historical cost.
DISCUSSION:
The City has contracted for Animal Care Services from the County of Orange for over 27 years. It
continues to be a very cost effective and reliable way to provide this important service to our citizens.

Subject: FY 2006-07 Estimated City Payment
Dear Mr. Huston,
On June 23,2006, Animal Care Services (ACS) sent two copies of the FY 2006-07 Agreement for Animal
Care Services for signature. Since then, ACS has received some inquiries from our contract cities
regarding the absence of a dollar amount in this Agreement. At the request of our contract cities, the
Health Care Agency implemented a new cost system for FY 2006-07 that will invoice contract cities on
actual expenditures rather than provisional payments. The change in methodology dictated removal of the
dollar amount from the contract as quarterly billings are now based on actual usage.
On June 12, 2006, ACS mailed a cover letter and spreadsheet that provided a detailed breakdown of your
FY 2006-07 estimated city payment. The FY 2006-07 estimated annual city payment for the City of
Tustin is $130,505. Actual cost will be based on actual usage during FY 2006-07.
In an effort to make the transition from provisional payments to actual billings as smooth as possible,
ACS staff will be closely monitoring each city's budget. We also recommend that you monitor your
individual city's status, and contact my staff if we can provide you with any additional background data
or information regarding your city's expenditures.
ACS is requesting that one of agreements with the completed signature page be returned no later than
September 1, 2006, to Jennifer Phillips, Director, Orange County Animal Care Services, 561 The City
Drive South, Orange, CA 92868.
Please contact Julia Rinaldi El-Abd at (714) 834-5210 or myself at (714) 935-7107.
Best Regards,
Jennifer Phillips
