• The 2017 and 2021 agreements included the contract amount and an annual upwards adjustment based on the CPI, which has varied from
3.5% - 5.2%.
• The 2021 staff report and agreement did not include an estimated amount for the entire 10-year period, should all four 2-year extensions be authorized.
• For purposes of clarification, the table in the staff report establishes an estimated 10-year amount based on a 5% estimate of the percentage change in the CPI. Future increases will be based on the actual CPI. • Any future annual compensation is subject to City Council approval. If the City Council does not appropriate sufficient funds during future budget processes, staff will either bring a new contract to Council with at least 90 days’ notice or recommend terminating the agreement. • Staff recommends the City Council accept staff’s clarification to the previously approved animal shelter operator agreement with FAAS that the 10-year compensation is $11,574,639, including the estimated annual CPI increase.
