RECOMMENDATION(S):

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact related to this action.

BACKGROUND:

The Animal Benefit Fund was established by the Animal Services Department in 1988 to allow the Department to receive donations from individuals, animal welfare organizations and businesses, to support animal health and welfare projects not funded by departmental or general County revenue.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On April 19, 2016, the Board of Supervisors delegated authority of the Animal Benefit Fund to the Animal Services Director. This granted authorization to accept any monetary donation, gift, bequest, or devise made to, or in favor of the Contra Costa County Animal Services Department, as allowed under Government Code section 25355, and it granted the Director the ability to solicit donations for the benefit of shelter animals. A stipulation of this authority is, the Animal Services Director must file a report with the Board of Supervisors every quarter that describes the source and value of each gift.

Attached is the donation report that provides details of all monetary donations received by the Animal Services Department from July 1, 2021, through September 30, 2021.
