CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT FOR COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 19, 2007 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: BOB MILLER, CHIEF OF POLICE SUBJECT: APPROVE ANIMAL HOUSING SERVICES AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO AND THE CITY OF COLTON EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2007 THROUGH JUNE 30, 2010. DATE: June 14, 2007 ITEM #15 BACKGROUND: The City of Colton currently utilizes the City of San Bernardino Animal shelter for the housing of animals found within the City. The police department desires to continue this arrangement through the renewing of our existing contract. DISCUSSION / ANALYSIS: The City of Colton does not maintain facilities for the housing of animals found within the City limits, or for those required to be quarantined through an order of the animal control officer. The City of San Bernardino has previously entered into an agreement with the City of Colton to provide those services at their facilities. Additionally, the City of Colton contracts our animal control services to the City of Grand Terrace who also contracts with the City of San Bernardino for animal housing services. The proposed agreement (attached) is the City of San Bernardino's standard contract and is required by San Bernardino in order to continue the service. The Indemnification section contains the same language as in the prior '04-'07 contract. However, the agreement requires the City of Colton to indemnify the City of San Bernardino while the City of San Bernardino does not provide the City of Colton indemnification. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The funds for this service are included in the police department's proposed 2007/2008 budget. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: None CONFLICT OF INTEREST: Gift Disclosure Requirements None RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council approve the animal housing services agreement between the City of San Bernardino and the City of Colton effective from July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2010. ijreoarea ov: tsui burrows, Lieutenant REVIEW TEAM ONLY ,, Q City Attorney: L� Finance Director: T - .I �.
