RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE Appropriations and Revenue Adjustment No.005037 authorizing new revenue in the amount of $15,000 from California Department of Food and Agriculture and appropriating it to provide low-cost spay and neuter services for resident pet owners in the Animal Services Department

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action increases revenue and appropriations by $15,000 with no change in Net County Cost. The new revenue is from the California Department of Food and Agriculture. (100% State funded; no County match)

The funds has been allocated to 17 shelters within California, including Contra Costa County Animal Services, which was awarded $15,000 for fiscal year 2020/21.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Revenue and appropriation will not be reflected in the current year budget for the purpose of Spay and Neuter of animals.
