RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE Appropriations and Revenue Adjustment No. 5059 authorizing new revenue in the amount of $104,000 from city fees, and appropriating it to the Animal Services Department for deceased animal pickup.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action will provide revenue to fund the salary for one utility worker and one utility truck. This is 100% funded by contract city revenue.

BACKGROUND:

In June 2021, the Animal Services Department recommended to the Contra Costa Public Managers Association (PMA) that an additional 1.0 FTE Animal Services Utility Worker be funded by contracting cities through their fee revenue to meet call volume and response times for deceased animal impounds.. The PMA had agreed to this change and FY 2021/22 service fees billed to cities were increased by an aggregate amount of $104,000 to fund an additional utility worker to assist field services with deceased animals pickups, and the cost of one utility truck. In July 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved the additiion on 1.0 Animal Services Utility Worker. This revenue and appropriation adjustment appropriates the new revenue from the cities to fund the addtional posiiton and the related vehicle costs.
