RECOMMENDATION(S):

ACCEPT the monetary donation report from the Animal Services Department, which describes the source and value of each gift received by Animal Services from July 1, 2020 through March 31, 2021 for FY 2020-21 Quarters 1 through 3.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

The Animal Benefit Fund was created 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 that are not funded by departmental or general County revenue. On April 19, 2016 the Board of Supervisors delegated specific authority to the Animal Services Director as it related to the Animal Benefit Fund. The Animal Services Director was 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 solicit donations for the benefit of shelter animals. Along with this delegated authority, the Animal Services Director is required to 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, 2020 through September 30, 2020 for Quarter 1, October 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020 for Quarter 2 and January 1, 2021 through March 31, 2021 for Quarter 3. The Department is required to submit a quarterly donation report to the Board of Supervisors throughout the current fiscal year.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to accept the report will delay information the Board has requested.
