RECOMMENDATION(S):
OPEN public hearing establishing new fee schedule for Animal Services Department user fees, RECEIVE oral and written testimony, and CLOSE the hearing; ADOPT Resolution No. 2022/23, establishing new fees effective March 1, 2022.
FISCAL IMPACT:
It is estimated the proposed fee increases will generate approximately $30,000 in additional annual revenue. This will be included in the Department’s Fiscal Year 2022/23 budget.
BACKGROUND:
On June 26, 2019, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 2019/605 approving the Animal Services Department’s current fee schedule. Since 2019, the Department’s cost of providing services has increased. The Animal Services Director has evaluated the current fees and has determined that an increase in certain fees and the creation of new fees are necessary in order to cover the costs of the services provided by the Animal Services Department. Thus, the Animal Services Department recommends amending its fee schedule to cover the increased costs of providing services, as set forth in the attached fee schedule.
