Subject: FAAS additional information
Below is additional information about the FAAS contract:
State regulations mandate that city and county animal control shelters and/or its agencies provide care to animals housed in an animal control shelter. Through its contract with FAAS, the City supports the animal shelter’s critical operating services and FAAS supports all additional staff and services through grants, fundraising, and fees.
The contract has included an annual upwards adjustment based on the CPI since 2017, but does not specify a maximum cap on the adjustment. Since 2017, the annual CPI increase has varied from 3.5%-5.2% (this past year). If the City Council does not appropriate sufficient funds during future budget processes, we can either bring a new contract to Council with at least 90 days’ notice or terminate the agreement with FAAS.
Here is an itemization of the FAAS payroll, with the City’s contribution covering the positions that are critical to operating the shelter and all other positions are paid for by FAAS:
