RE: FY 2025-26 OC Animal Care Notice of Intent
Greetings:
Enclosed for your reference are three copies of the new Animal Care Notice of Intent (N01) for the City of Anaheim (City). This notice includes a list of the Animal Care Services that the County of Orange (County) intends to provide for your City during the upcoming fiscal- year of July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, at an estimated Net Cost of $5,447,473.
The methodology used for this estimate is based on the number of Animal Control and Animal Shelter services provided to your City, along with the amount of fee revenue collected, during the most recent 12 months (March 1, 2024 through February 28, 2025).
The Net Cost estimate for the previous NOI was calculated based on services and collections over the last full fiscal-year (July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2024). The update in methodology reflects an effort to provide an estimate of your City's Net Cost for the upcoming fiscal-year based on the most current utilization reports.
For fiscal-year 2025-26, the total Net Cost estimated for all Contract Cities and the County will increase by 6.43% to $20,882,150. This is due primarily to salary increases approved by the County in labor negotiations with all unions and the continual need for OC Animal Care to fill critical positions in order to provide the high-quality services expected. While a total of 131 filled positions and 13 vacancies is projected for fiscal-year 2025-26, please note that number may be adjusted mid-year in order to meet the current demands for service. The increase is also due to the rising cost and volume of essential items, which include pharmaceutics, feed, and general animal supplies.
As stated in the Agreement for Provision of OC Animal Care Services between the City and County, the most recent animal care services fees approved by the County Board of Supervisors on July 17, 2018, shall be used to determine each Contract City's Net Cost of Animal Care Services.
Each Contract City's actual Net Cost of Animal Care Services for fiscal-year 2025-26 will be based on actual services provided and fee revenue collected during the fiscal-year.
Therefore, your City's actual Net Cost for fiscal-year 2025-26 may be higher or lower than the enclosed estimate. Please review the new NOI for fiscal-year 2025-26, obtain the signature of your City's authorized representative on all three copies, and return them to:
OC Animal Care
Attn: Joseph Powers
1630 Victory Road
Tustin, CA 92782
Once signed by the County, an executed original document will be returned to you.
Sincerely,
Joseph Powers
Budget Analyst
