EXHIBIT B
CONTRIBUTION FORMULA
From and after the Formation Date, each Member Agency shall pay for the ongoing costs of the Agency according to the following formula, to be initially calculated at the time of the formation of the Agency.
Initial Share of Contributions / Voting Shares
Ontario 53%
Chino 20%
Chino Hills 15%
Montclair 8%
County of San Bernardino 4% (West End unincorporated area only) Note: As further described in the Board’s resolution admitting Chino Hills and setting terms and conditions for its admission, Chino Hills will not receive animal control and sheltering services from the Agency until FY 2027-2028, unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, (1) Chino Hills will pay for its share of capital costs beginning in FY 2025-2026, which may include but not be limited to its share of ownership interests in the permanent shelter property and permanent shelter design, pre-construction, construction, and similar costs; and (2) in lieu of FY 2024-2025 contributions to the Agency’s budget for startup costs, Chino Hills will pay for, contribute to a fund for, or reimburse the Agency for, a truck and horse trailer to be owned by the Agency, in an amount not to exceed $150,000.
Chino Hills’ share of capital costs in FY 2025-2026 and 2026-2027, and share of all costs in FY 2027-2028 and beyond shall be consistent with the above shares.
Determination of Future Share of Contributions / Voting Shares Thereafter, each Member Agency’s proportional share will be recalculated: (1) once every five years, and/or (2) upon a unanimous vote to authorize the induction of a New Member Agency pursuant to the Agreement. Expenses of the Agency are to be paid by each Member Agency in proportion to the services provided to each Member Agency.
Determination of the proportion of services provided to each Member Agency shall be based upon actual or estimated number of calls for animal control service from each Member Agency, the number of animals sheltered from each Member Agency, and/or other factors reasonably bearing on the Agency’s costs, as reasonably determined by the Board. For example, if Ontario receives 53% of the Agency’s services and Chino receives 20%, Ontario’s funding contribution would be 53%, Chino’s would be 20%.
Every five years and upon a unanimous vote to authorize the induction of a New Member Agency, the Board shall adopt an addendum to this Exhibit B showing the updated Share of Contributions / Voting Shares, which shall be ministerially added to the Agreement.
Offsets
Each Member Agency may offset its financial contributions by licenses/fee revenues, and/or by making “in-kind” contributions such as personnel or meeting room space.
Costs for such contributions shall be reasonable and as set forth in a written agreement between a Member Agency and the Agency.
90656.00001\43741974.1
Additional Costs for Special Services
If a Member Agency wants additional animal services in its jurisdictional area, the cost allocation for such additional service can be made upon action by the Board and reflected in a written “special services” agreement with the Member Agency. Full cost of “special services” should be borne by the requesting Member Agency.
Services to Other Agencies
Other public agencies who contract with the Agency for services in their jurisdiction but who do not qualify or wish to be inducted as Member Agencies will be responsible for paying their actual costs pursuant to a written “contract services” agreement with the Agency, plus any startup or entry costs deemed appropriate by the Board. Such public agency will be considered only a “contracting agency” and not a Member Agency with voting power or other rights of membership for purposes of this Agreement. 90656.00001\43211296.1
