TO: City Council
FROM: City Manager
SUBJECT : Animal Control Contract Review
DATE . May 18 , 1984
Since imcorporation the City has contracted with Alameda County for Animal
Control Services . This includes both field and shelter services . The animal
shelter is located at Santa Rita , which allows residents to take care of
related business within a reasonable distance from their residence .
The City has received a constant level of service over the past two years .
Dublin receives the services of approximately 37 . 9% of a full-time Field
Service Officer . In addition this requires 10 . 9% of a full-time Clerk II to
act as clerical support . The City must also pay for its share of the cost of
the vehicle and related maintenance . Associated office costs and
professional services are billed to the City on a pro-rata basis . The
professional services include the cost of dispatch personnel and injured
animal veterinarian care . Included in the field service activities is
approximately 100 hours of Officer time to conduct a license canvass . The
final element of Dublin ' s Animal Control Program is the provision of shelter
services . Residents who redeem an animal which has been impounded pay a fee,
which is used to offset the cost of shelter operations . Funds are also
collected from those individuals adopting animals .
SERVICE REVIEW
Level of Service
Table 1 , identifies key workload indicators for the Animal Control
Department . The comparison shows statistics for the same 10 month period
during the current and previous fiscal year . As noted, the workload in all
areas has increased . The number of animals impounded has increased by 24
over the 1982-83 figure . The Department has also experienced a significant
increase in the number of complaints received. Through April of 1984 they
reported that all complaints received had been cleared.
The figure for Dead Animal Pick-Up represents an overall total including
service provided to veterinarians . It is important to note that in the
1983-84 figure of 675 , 570 were picked up from veterinarians . This
represents 85 percent of the total dead animals collected. There has been an
actual decrease in the number of stray dead animals picked up in Dublin. For
the 1983-84 period 89 animals were collected as opposed to 110 during the
previous year . This represents a 19 percent decrease .

Licensing Efforts
During the past year several changes have been made, which have impacted the
collection of animal licenses . This revenue is collected by the County and
reimbursed to the City. In August of 1983 , the County increased the cost of
animal licenses . This has resulted in an increase in revenue collected,
which can be associated with the provision of animal control services . In
1982-83 the average fees collected for each license sold was $6 . 24 . In the
current year we have experienced a collection rate averaging $9 . 62 per
license sold.
The County conducts part of its licensing effort through the use of
applications which can be mailed. In an attempt to increase the number of
licenses sold these applications have been provided to veterinarians and at
low-cost rabies clinics . To supplement this process the County also provides
for 100 hours of Field Officer time to conduct a door to door canvass . The
County is scheduling a canvass in Dublin this month .
The number of licenses sold has shown a dramatic increase over the previous
year . A comparison is shown below:
Number of Licenses Sold
July 82-April 83 July 83-April 84 % Change
343 522 +52%
The increased availability of applications appears to have been successful in
resulting in more animals being licensed . It has also been a greater
convenience to residents who may call City Offices, inquiring as to animal
license requirements . An application form can be mailed directly from City
Offices, without the individual having to directly contact the Animal Control
Department . Although this increase is encouraging it is apparent that there
are a large number of unlicensed dogs in the City. An examination of the 152
dogs which were impounded shows that 96 percent were not licensed .
Increased Level of Service
The field service conducted in the City of Dublin consists of approximately
752 hours of field service and 100 dedicated to a license canvass . Excluding
the canvass the City pays for a Field Service Officer to provide
approximately 14 hours of service each week . The Department has indicated
that the majority of this time is dedicated to calls for service and response
to complaints . When additional time is available the officer conducts
routine patrols .
The appropriate Animal Control representative was not available to respond to
questions related to an increase in field service levels . In preparation of
the 1983-84 budget they had indicated that the only method of increasing
service would be for the City to pay the entire cost of a full-time officer .
The City would also be required to pay the cost of the vehicle. Staff
intends to provide any additional information at the meeting on Monday, May
21 , 1984 .
The County has indicated to Staff that the cost of providing personnel to
issue dog licenses at rabies vaccination clinics would be $8 . 36 per hour .
Given the average fees currently collected on licenses this may prove to be a
cost effective method of increasing license sales .
ALTERNATIVE SERVICE PROPOSALS
The City has received a written proposal from K.W. Jacobs and Impson ' s
Security Service to provide Animal Control Service in the City of Dublin .
The proposal continues to utilize the County shelter facilities at Santa
Rita . The current year costs are estimated at $6 ,200 and we estimate an
annual cost of $7 , 000 in fical year 1984-85 .
Excluding shelter services provided by the County the cost of this proposal
would be approximately $34 , 000 . It is not clear if the City would incur any
costs beyond this for the treatment of injured animals . The total cost of
providing Animal Control Services under this proposal would be $41 , 000 per
year .
County Cost Breakdown
The following is a breakdown of the estimated costs for the current and
upcoming fiscal years . These estimates assume the current level of service
is maintained.
Estimated 1983-84 Projected 1984-85
Shelter Costs $ 6 , 200 $ 7 ,000
Field Service Cost 11 , 220 11 ,800
Vehicle/Maintenance 3 , 930 4 ,125
Profession Services 6 , 156 6 ,465
Other Expenses 840 880
TOTAL $28 , 346 $30 , 270
The total does not reflect program adjustments realized through the
collection of license fees . We have estimated that 622 licenses will be sold
generating revenue of approximately $6 , 000 . This would result in a net
program cost of approximately $24 , 000 for 1984-85 .
Recommendation
Given the different levels of service in the two proposals presented it is
difficult to make a direct comparison. The current workload indicates that
an increase to provide more field service may be desirable, however , a full-
time service may provide more hours than is necessary. This would affect the
cost effectiveness of providing this service .
Given the resources of the County Department , staff would like to discuss
this issue with Animal Control Officials and hopefully present appropriate -
alternatives at the meeting on Monday, May 21 , 1984 . As indicated earlier ,
County Officials are not available until Monday.
