RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Animal Services Department Director, or designee, to accept Maddie's Fund grant award in the amount of $130,000 to establish a five-year strategic plan, improve animal housing and to support programming that increases live release rate outcomes.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No County match.

BACKGROUND:

Maddies Fund has consistently supported the Contra Costa County Animal Services Department over the past 15 years. Animal Services has been a Maddie's Fund grant recipient since 2005 and a participant in the Maddie's Fund Adopt-a-thon since 2010, where Maddies' Fund donates specific funds for every animal adopted over a specified weekend. This current additional grant of $130,000 was provided by Maddie's Fund to Animal Services to establish a five-year strategic plan for the Animal Services Department, to improve animal housing and to support the Department's programming that increases live release rate outcomes.
