Project Description
The Indio Police Department seeks funding to enhance its impaired driving enforcement efforts through a multi-faceted approach aimed at reducing DUI/DUID incidents. This project will support overtime costs for four DUI/DUID checkpoints and five saturation patrols, ensuring targeted enforcement during high-risk periods.
Additionally, funding will provide specialized training for two officers in Drug Recognition Expert (DRE), Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE), and Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST), with backfill to maintain operational staffing. Funding is also requested to certify two officers as SFST/ARIDE instructors, allowing the department to conduct in-house training and enhance long-term impaired driving enforcement capabilities. The project will also enable four personnel to attend an impaired driving training conference hosted by the International Association of Chiefs of Police, ensuring the department remains at the forefront of best practices. To further strengthen enforcement capabilities, the department will procure two SoToxa Roadside Test Instruments and other necessary supplies to improve roadside impairment detection.
This initiative will directly contribute to reducing impaired driving-related collisions, injuries, and fatalities within the community.
Problem Statement & Proposed Solution
The Indio Police Department serves a growing community of nearly 100,000 residents, with a substantial transient population due to seasonal visitors and major music festivals. Impaired driving remains a critical public safety concern, with DUI/DUID-related incidents continuing to rise. From 2023 to 2024, DUI/DUID arrests surged by 68%, increasing from 157 to 264. Despite bolstered enforcement efforts, the persistence of impaired driving highlights the ongoing threat to roadway safety and the need for continued, proactive enforcement measures.
Additionally, large-scale events such as the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and Stagecoach contribute to a surge in impaired driving incidents, placing additional strain on law enforcement resources.
The department currently relies on external agencies, including the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office and the California Highway Patrol, to assist in major impaired driving investigations due to a lack of in-house specialized training and equipment.
Solution
To combat the increasing risks posed by impaired driving, the Indio Police Department proposes a comprehensive enforcement strategy that includes targeted enforcement operations, officer training, and the acquisition of critical enforcement tools.
1. Enhanced Enforcement Operations
• Conduct four DUI/DUID checkpoints at high-risk locations to deter and detect impaired drivers. • Deploy five saturation (SAT) patrols to proactively target impaired drivers during peak times, including weekends, holidays, and major local events.
Resolution No. 10508, accepting a Fiscal Year 2026 California Highway Pa... Page 631 of 1774 Schedule A
2. Specialized Officer Training
• Train two officers in Drug Recognition Expert (DRE), Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE), and Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST) to improve investigative capabilities.
• Provide backfill overtime funding for officers attending training to minimize disruption during the extended training.
• Certify two officers as SFST/ARIDE instructors, enabling the department to conduct in-house training and expand long-term impaired driving enforcement proficiency • Provide backfill overtime funding to maintain operational coverage during training. • Send four department personnel to an impaired driving training conference to stay updated on the latest enforcement strategies and best practices.
3. Procurement of Enforcement Supplies
• Acquire two SoToxa Roadside Test Instruments to improve drug-impaired driving detection and support prosecution efforts.
• Purchase additional enforcement-related supplies to support impaired driving operations.
By increasing enforcement efforts, expanding officer training, and integrating advanced roadside testing technology, the Indio Police Department aims to reduce impaired driving incidents, collisions, and fatalities, ultimately improving roadway safety for residents and visitors.
Performance Measures/Scope of Work
1. Overtime to support 4 DUI/DUID Checkpoints (Q1 = 1, Q2=1, Q3=1, Q4 = 1):
The Indio Police Department will conduct 4 DUI/DUID checkpoints, with 1 checkpoint scheduled quarterly.
These checkpoints will target areas with high DUI/DUID incidents. The goal of these checkpoints is to reduce DUI/DUID-related fatalities and injuries by 15%. Success will be measured by the number of DUI/DUID arrests and citations made during these events and a decrease in impaired driving-related traffic collisions. Overtime funding will cover staffing costs for officers working these checkpoints.
2. Overtime to support 5 Saturation Patrols (Q1 = 1, Q2 = 1, Q3 = 1, Q4 = 2):
The department will implement 5 DUI Saturation Patrols, with 1 patrol conducted in each of Q1, Q2, and Q3, and 2 patrols scheduled for Q4. These patrols will focus on high-risk areas known for impaired driving and will be designed to increase DUI/DUID detection rates. The goal is to reduce impaired driving crashes by 10%. Success will be tracked by the number of arrests made during the patrols and the reduction in DUI/DUID collisions in these areas. Overtime costs will support the additional personnel required for these patrols.
3. Overtime and Travel for Officer Training (Q1-Q4 = Ongoing):
To ensure that officers are fully trained to identify and investigate impaired driving, 2 officers will attend DRE (Drug Recognition Expert), ARIDE (Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement), and SFST (Standardized Field Sobriety Testing) training throughout the year. Training backfill overtime is being requested to ensure regular department operations are uninterrupted while officers are being trained.
Specifically, during extended training, the officers' schedule will be modified to reduce overtime and the backfill will be utilized to accommodate such changes. These trainings will improve officers' skills in detecting and handling impaired driving incidents, which will contribute to more effective enforcement.
The number of impaired driving investigations and successful prosecutions will be monitored as a measure of the training’s impact. Two officers will also complete SFST Instructor Training, allowing the department to conduct in-house training and expand enforcement capabilities. Backfill overtime will be provided to maintain adequate staffing levels, ensuring no disruption to regular operations. Specifically, during extended training, the officers' schedule will be modified to reduce overtime, and the backfill will be utilized to accommodate such changes. Training will be prioritized for the start of the funding year to ensure officers are adequately trained as soon as possible and will be able to use their knowledge for the remainder of the year.
Resolution No. 10508, accepting a Fiscal Year 2026 California Highway Pa... Page 632 of 1774 Schedule A
4. Attendance at an Impaired Driving Training Conference The department will send 4 staff members to attend the IACP impaired driving and traffic safety training conference in August 2025. The conference will help officers stay current on impaired driving trends, best practices, and emerging technologies. The knowledge gained will be shared with other officers, enhancing the department’s capacity to address impaired driving. Success will be measured by the integration of learned strategies into patrols and checkpoints, leading to increased detections and arrests of impaired drivers.
5. Procurement of 2 SoToxa Roadside Test Instruments (Q1 = 2):
The department will purchase 2 SoToxa Roadside Test Instruments, with the instruments to be procured in Q1. These portable devices will allow officers to conduct immediate drug and alcohol testing at DUI checkpoints and saturation patrols, improving the speed and accuracy of impaired driving detection. The effectiveness of these devices will be measured by the number of tests performed and the number of impaired drivers identified using the SoToxa instruments. This tool will significantly enhance the department's ability to enforce impaired driving laws effectively.
6. Other Enforcement-Related Supplies (Q1-Q4 = Ongoing):
Funding will support the purchase of various supplies necessary for impaired driving enforcement operations, including traffic cones, portable "DUI Checkpoint Ahead" signs, reflective safety vests, LED safety flares and lights, pop-up tents, checkpoint clipboards and documentation materials, portable breath testing equipment accessories, and heavy-duty storage containers. These items are essential to safely and efficiently conduct DUI checkpoints and patrols, ensuring clear public notification, officer visibility, and smooth operations. These resources will enhance officer and public safety while improving the overall effectiveness of impaired driving enforcement activities. The equipment will be purchased in Q1 and should be received in Q1.
Each of these activities will be closely monitored throughout the year, with quantitative measurements like arrests, citations, and DUI-related collision statistics helping assess the success of the project. The overarching goal is to reduce impaired driving in the community, and the activities outlined above will directly contribute to this aim.
Project Performance Evaluation
The effectiveness and impact of the project will be evaluated through a combination of quantitative and qualitative data, with regular tracking of DUI/DUID arrests, traffic collisions, and impaired driving-related incidents. We will compare quarterly data to assess the reduction in DUI/DUID incidents and fatalities, aiming for a 10-15% decrease in impaired driving offenses. Data will be collected from law enforcement reports, checkpoint results, and patrol outcomes, which will be analyzed to determine the success of enforcement activities. Additionally, community feedback from events and outreach efforts will be gathered through surveys and direct engagement to evaluate the public's awareness and perceptions of impaired driving prevention.
A detailed communication plan will be implemented to share project results with both internal and external stakeholders. Internally, progress will be communicated through monthly updates to staff and quarterly reports to the department leadership. Externally, the results will be shared via press releases and social media updates. This approach ensures transparency and demonstrates the tangible benefits of the project in reducing impaired driving and increasing public awareness in the community.
Program Sustainability
Once we have acquired the necessary equipment and established a strong presence to increase our production capacity, we will consistently drive our goals of creating a safer community. As part of our ongoing commitment to bring crucial attention to impaired driving, we will integrate these efforts into our daily operations as a municipal law enforcement agency. We will continue to promote awareness and push the message of impaired-driving prevention, while allocating resources within our available budgetary means. Furthermore, the establishment and enhancement of DUI/DUID training programs will provide longlasting benefits by ensuring that we have the capacity to internally utilize this knowledge. These training efforts will enhance our team's ability to address impaired driving more effectively. The department will continue to ensure that the public remains consistently reminded of the consequences of impaired driving, regardless of future funding availability, through the ongoing work of these divisions within our department.

INDIO POLICE DEPARTMENT
All grant awards, including any adjustments to requested funding, were made by the Cannabis Grants Unit based on the merits of the Grant Application, scale of operation, and in accordance with the Request for Application (RFA) requirements and associated regulations. As a result, not all Project activities and items detailed in Schedule A are applicable. Refer to Schedule B - Detailed Budget Estimate for approved Budget line items and Project activities. Project activities and items that are not clearly identified/specified in the Grant Agreement must be submitted to and approved by CGU prior to purchase.
Project Description
The Indio Police Department is combating a persistent rise in impaired driving arrests and collisions, leading to devastating consequences, including severe property damage, injuries, and fatalities. While enforcement efforts remain a priority, the missing component in addressing this emerging issue is a sustained, data-driven education campaign to shift behaviors and attitudes toward impaired driving. Current outreach efforts are fragmented and limited by resource constraints, preventing the department from delivering a comprehensive, high-visibility public awareness initiative. Grant funding will allow the implementation of a robust, multiplatform education campaign utilizing billboards, targeted social media outreach, professional commercial production, and large-scale community engagement. As the host city for the internationally recognized Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and Stagecoach Festival, Indio has a unique opportunity to amplify its messaging to over 400,000 attendees, influencing both local and visiting populations. By filling the gap in proactive education, this initiative aims to reduce impaired driving incidents by 10% within the grant period, ultimately preventing crashes, saving lives, and creating lasting behavioral change.
Problem Statement & Proposed Solution
Impaired driving is a persistent occurrence in Indio, leading to devastating consequences, including serious injuries and fatalities. While impaired driving has risen nationally—partly due to post-pandemic behavioral shifts and reduced reliance on rideshare services—Indio has experienced a particularly severe surge. From 2023 to 2024, DUI/DUID arrests surged from 157 to 264, marking a 68% increase. During this timeframe, we have bolstered enforcement activity to ensure safer roads, yet the continued rise in impaired driving incidents underscores the need for sustained and enhanced enforcement efforts.
Indio faces unique challenges due to its status as the host city for two of the largest music festivals in the country—the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and Stagecoach Festival—which draw more than 400,000 visitors across three weekends. These events bring a significant increase in alcohol and drug consumption, further elevating the risk of impaired driving incidents. The impact of these festivals extends beyond Indio, as many attendees travel to and from the city under the influence, affecting regional roadway safety. Despite the Indio Police Department’s dedicated enforcement efforts, the absence of a sustained, data-driven public education campaign has left a critical gap in efforts to prevent impaired driving before it occurs. Without an ongoing, highly visible education strategy, the community remains vulnerable to continued increases in impaired driving incidents, preventable crashes, and tragic loss of life.
Proposed Solution
To address this urgent public safety issue, the Indio Police Department is proposing a comprehensive, multifaceted public education campaign designed to increase awareness, shift attitudes, and reduce impaired driving incidents through targeted messaging and engagement. This initiative will leverage data-driven marketing/advertising strategies to reach both residents and visitors, ensuring broad and lasting impact.
Grant funding will support the implementation of the following key initiatives:
• Participation in six community outreach events, where officers and other personnel will engage directly with residents to educate them on the risks, legal consequences, and real-life impacts of impaired driving. These events will provide opportunities for hands-on learning experiences, interactive demonstrations, and the distribution of educational materials.
Resolution No. 10509, accepting a Fiscal Year 2026 California Highway Pa... Page 650 of 1774 Schedule A
• Adapting our annual National Night Out event into a flagship impaired driving awareness campaign event, reinforcing the dangers of alcohol- and drug-impaired driving through impactful presentations, testimonials from victims and first responders, and interactive experiences such as impairment simulation activities. Our event is historically nationally ranked and within top 5 with California for bringing community organizations, residents, and public safety agencies together for a fun evening consisting of conversations and opportunities to discuss public safety within Indio. Our event is attended by over 750 residents year after year and growing. • Exploring the acquisition of an inoperative vehicle from an impaired driving incident as a powerful, visual reminder of the devastating consequences of driving under the influence. This vehicle, paired with educational signage and displays, will be used at community events, schools, and high-traffic public areas to drive home the real-world impact of impaired driving. This will be completed in partnership with our local tow company association to ensure community stakeholders are involved in the project.
• Purchasing high-quality presentation supplies and engagement materials, such as educational banners, visual displays, and digital content, to enhance outreach efforts and ensure that messaging is both effective and memorable. The bulk of the supplies and materials will be used during the community outreach events and National Night Out.
• Producing a professional, bilingual commercial (English and Spanish) to be distributed through local news media, social media platforms, and community networks. This commercial will be designed to resonate with diverse audiences and reinforce the consequences of impaired driving through compelling storytelling featuring our personnel.
This initiative is designed to be sustained, high-visibility, and strategically targeted to maximize impact. By implementing this multi-platform education campaign, the Indio Police Department aims to reduce impaired driving-related crashes and fatalities by 10% within the grant period, ultimately fostering long-term behavioral change and saving lives in Indio and the surrounding communities.
Performance Measures/Scope of Work
Our project aims to reduce impaired driving incidents in Indio through a sustained, multi-platform public education campaign that increases awareness of the dangers and consequences of driving under the influence of alcohol, cannabis, and other drugs. This initiative is designed to target both current and future drivers, with a specific emphasis on engaging new and young drivers.
To achieve this, the Indio Police Department will implement the following measurable objectives:
The department will conduct six impaired driving-focused community outreach events throughout the funding year to educate residents on the risks, legal consequences, and real-life impacts of impaired driving, including cannabis and cannabis products. These events will take place bi-monthly (every two months) and aim to reach at least 50 attendees per event. Pre- and post-event surveys will be used to measure changes in awareness and attitudes, and DUI/DUID-related citations and collisions in targeted areas will be tracked to assess impact. Budget items supporting this objective include printed educational materials, event display supplies, and outreach equipment. Events will include participation in City of Indio-sponsored events, high school outreach, and local community gatherings to ensure diversity in event selection and to maximize audience reach.
National Night Out will be centered around impaired driving education to maximize visibility and impact. This event, held annually in August, will attract at least 700 attendees. Survey responses will be collected from at least 50 attendees to measure knowledge retention and behavior changes. Budget funds for signage, promotional materials, and public engagement supplies will be used to support this activity. Messaging will specifically highlight the dangers of impaired driving involving alcohol, cannabis, and other drugs, targeting both adult and youth attendees.
To create a powerful visual presence, the department will secure and display a wrecked vehicle from an impaired driving crash by the end of the first quarter. The wrecked vehicle will be used as a traveling display at all six community events and at Indio high schools at least once during the project year. Budget items supporting this include vehicle transport equipment and maintenance supplies. The display will serve as a high-impact reminder of the fatal consequences of impaired driving, with messaging visible to students, young drivers, and general community members.
Resolution No. 10509, accepting a Fiscal Year 2026 California Highway Pa... Page 651 of 1774 Schedule A
Two commercials (one in English and one in Spanish) will be produced to reach both the general and Spanish-speaking populations of Indio. Production will be completed by the end of the second quarter, with distribution through local news outlets, public access television, city bulletins, and social media platforms in the third and fourth quarters. The goal is to reach at least 10,000 viewers, with messaging specifically addressing the risks of impaired driving involving alcohol, cannabis, and other substances. A 10 percent increase in reported awareness of impaired driving risks will be measured through survey responses and media analytics. Budget items will cover video production, editing, and media placement costs.
A year-long social media awareness campaign will be implemented, featuring interactive and educational content with an emphasis on impaired driving, cannabis impairment, and consequences. The department will publish at least five impaired driving-focused posts per month (totaling 60 posts annually) across all platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter/X. Messaging will be designed to appeal to younger drivers and general motorists. Budget will cover media content creation and advertising boosts to ensure extended reach.
Electronic message boards will be deployed monthly (one deployment per month) in high-risk DUI corridors to remind drivers of the dangers and legal consequences of impaired driving. Locations will be selected based on DUI arrest and collision data. DUI/DUID arrest data will be compared before and after message board deployments to assess impact. Although the message boards were previously purchased through the FY2023 CTFGP Education Grant, the monthly operational deployment will continue using this project’s activity structure and timelines.
Billboard space will be secured along the I-10 Freeway and other inland corridors for an eight-month impaired driving prevention campaign. Deployment will begin in the second quarter and continue through the end of the project period. Messaging will target all drivers, with special emphasis on festival visitors, young adults, and commuters, and will highlight the dangers of impaired driving from alcohol, cannabis, and other drugs. Budget funds will cover billboard design, production, and rental costs. Surveys and engagement metrics will be used to measure public awareness and message saturation.
The project’s overall impact will be measured by achieving a 10 percent reduction in DUI/DUID-related collisions during the grant period, a 10 percent reduction in DUI/DUID arrests per quarter, and an increase in public awareness as measured through outreach engagement, survey data, and social media analytics.
Through this comprehensive education-focused approach, the Indio Police Department aims to reduce impaired driving-related incidents while fostering a long-term cultural shift toward responsible driving behavior.
Project Performance Evaluation
The Indio Police Department will evaluate the effectiveness of the project using both quantitative and qualitative measures, ensuring a comprehensive assessment of the grant’s impact on reducing impaired driving incidents in the community.
Quantitative data will be collected through DUI/DUID arrest reports, impaired driving-related traffic collision statistics, community event attendance records, social media engagement metrics, and audience reach for media campaigns. The department will track DUI/DUID arrests and impaired driving-related collisions on a monthly basis, comparing figures from the previous year to measure reductions. The goal is to achieve a 10 percent quarterly reduction in DUI/DUID arrests and a 10 percent annual reduction in impaired driving-related collisions. Additionally, outreach event participation will be documented, with a target of reaching at least 50 attendees per event and 700 attendees for National Night Out. Social media performance will be analyzed through post engagement, video views, and audience reach, aiming for increased participation in prior-year safety campaigns. The bilingual commercial’s success will be measured by media impressions, targeting at least 10,000 viewers.
Qualitative evaluation will include pre-and post-event surveys to gauge shifts in public perception and awareness of impaired driving risks. Surveys will be conducted at community outreach events, with at least 10 attendees providing feedback. The presence of the wrecked vehicle display will be evaluated based on public response, comments, and social media engagement. Additionally, stakeholder feedback from community organizations, schools, and city officials will be gathered to assess the perceived impact of the education campaign. While our goal is to have 50 attendees at each community outreach event, our target for the surveys is 10 pre-event and 10 post-event to ensure the engagement is authentic and not robotic.
Resolution No. 10509, accepting a Fiscal Year 2026 California Highway Pa... Page 652 of 1774 Schedule A
To communicate the project’s results, the department will conduct an extensive public relations campaign.
This will include a final project report presented to city residents, law enforcement partners, and community stakeholders. Results will be shared externally through press releases, social media updates, local news media coverage, and bilingual outreach via Spanish-language media. Internally, project findings will be distributed through department briefings and reports. The Public Information Officer will facilitate the dissemination of key takeaways, ensuring transparency and demonstrating the success of the impaired driving education initiative.
By implementing a data-driven evaluation strategy and maintaining a strong communication plan, the Indio Police Department will effectively measure the project’s impact and ensure continued community engagement in impaired driving prevention efforts.
Program Sustainability
The proposed grant funding will establish the foundation for a long-term impaired driving education initiative within the Indio Police Department. By investing in outreach tools and educational materials, the department will enhance its ability to deliver impactful messaging to the community. Moving forward, impaired driving awareness will be incorporated into the department’s ongoing outreach efforts through our Social Media Team. These divisions will continue promoting the message as part of their regular community engagement strategies. Additionally, the department will explore partnerships and alternative funding sources to sustain outreach efforts beyond the grant period. As the program develops, the department will assess ways to integrate impaired driving prevention into its broader public safety initiatives, ensuring the message remains a priority regardless of future funding availability.

STAFF REPORT
To: City Council
From: Bryan H. Montgomery, City Manager
Prepared by: Timothy Wassil, Public Works Director
Subject: Contract Change Order No. 9 with Granite Construction Company in the amount of $156,172.02 for the Jackson Street Improvements Project – Phase 1, City Project No. TS1901
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve Contract Change Order No. 9 with Granite Construction Company in the amount of $156,172.02 for the Jackson Street Improvements Project – Phase 1, City Project No. TS1901; and authorize the City Manager to execute the Change Order.
SUMMARY:
City Council approval is requested for Contract Change Order No. 9, which increases the construction contract with Granite Construction Company by $156,172.02 for Phase 1 of the Jackson Street Improvements Project, City Project No. TS1901. The project scope includes road widening, new sidewalks, and pipeline replacement. Delays in receiving final utility plans and approvals from the Imperial Irrigation District (IID) and Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) pushed the project start date from May to September 2024 and extended completion to March 2025.
This change order compensates the contractor for added costs caused by rescheduling, remobilization, and coordination with utility agencies. It also resolves all outstanding issues and waives any future claims. The final project cost for Phase I will be $6.42 million.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
On May 1, 2024, the City Council approved a construction contract with Granite Construction Company in the amount of $6,222,226 for Phase 1 of the Jackson Street Improvements Project.
The project included widening and rehabilitating Jackson Street to provide two northbound and two southbound lanes, along with new sidewalks, curb ramps, and driveways to improve pedestrian safety. It also included replacement of a CVWD irrigation pipeline. A project location map is provided in Attachment 1.
During construction, Contract Change Orders (CCOs) No. 1–8 were approved under the City Manager’s authority, resulting in a net contract increase of $46,363.41. A summary of those change orders is provided in Attachment 2.
Staff is now requesting approval of Change Order No. 9, which increases the contract by $156,172.02. This amount reflects a negotiated settlement with the contractor to cover costs associated with remobilization for out-of-sequence work and the overhead required to coordinate AGENDA ITEM #10.16
Contract Change Order No. 9 with Granite Construction Company in the amo... Page 660 of 1774 utility relocations. The contractor has agreed to waive all rights to future claims related to these delays. A copy of the change order is included in Attachment 3.
Construction was originally scheduled to begin on May 20, 2024, but was delayed until September 16, 2024, due to late plan submissions from IID and CVWD. CVWD also delayed material submittal reviews for over two months between October 25, 2024, and January 2, 2025. These issues caused frequent rescheduling, repeated equipment mobilizations, and reduced construction efficiency. The original completion date of December 12, 2024, has been extended to March 30, 2025. These delays led to additional costs for extended project management, increased labor and equipment expenses, and prolonged traffic control. Construction productivity was further impacted by rephased work and utility-related disruptions, including delayed relocations by Frontier.
Staff and the construction management team have reviewed the project documentation and agree that the delays and added costs were due to factors beyond the contractor’s control. Therefore, staff recommends approval of Contract Change Order No. 9.

PROJECT: TS1901 Jackson Street Improvement Project Phase 1 CONTRACTOR: Granite Construction
CHANGE PROPOSED: This change order addresses additional costs incurred due to significant delays in the project start date and disruptions to the construction sequence, primarily caused by delayed plan approvals and extended utility coordination with CVWD and 11D.
Although the project was originally scheduled to begin on May 20, 2024, construction did not commence until September 16, 2024, due to delays in receiving final plans from both CVWD and 11D. Submittal approvals for CVWD materials were delayed and received over an extended period between October 25, 2024, and January 2, 2025. These delays required frequent rescheduling, repeated equipment mobilizations, and impacted overall construction productivity.
The original completion date of December 12, 2024, has been extended to an estimated completion date of March 30, 2025. As a result, the project incurred additional costs including extended project management and engineering staff time, labor insurance premium escalation, equipment escalation, and traffic control equipment such as message boards.
Additionally, the project experienced production losses in concrete and paving due to the rephasing of work and frequent relocation of crews and equipment. Specific work delays included out-of-sequence grading, concrete, and paving operations caused by delayed Airvac relocations, Frontier relocations, and the absence of timely 11D and CVWD plans and submittal approvals. A detailed cost breakdown is attached for reference.
The Owner and the Contractor hereby agree that this Change Order constitutes full mutual accord and satisfaction for all time, all costs, and all impacts related directly or indirectly to this Change Order. The Contractor hereby agrees that this Change Order represents the full equitable adjustment owed under the Contract, and further agrees on behalf of himself and all subcontractors to waive all right to file any further claims or request for equitable adjustment arising out of or as a result of this Change Order or the cumulative effect of this Change Order on the performanceof the overall Work under the Contract. This document will become a supplement to the contract, and all provisions will apply hereto. It is understood that the Change Order shall be effective when approved by the Owner.
The total amount for Contract Change Order #9 is a net increase in the amount of $156,172.02. Funds for said costs are within the approved project budget. @ 100 Civic Center Mall, Indio, CA 92201 I . . . f @ � w a &) 760-391-4000 @ Indio.org

STAFF REPORT
To: City Council
From: Bryan H. Montgomery, City Manager
Prepared by: Timothy Wassil, Public Works Director
Subject: Fuel purchase in the amount of $600,000 from SC Commercial LLC, for the City’s bulk fuel needs for Fiscal Year 2025/26.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the fuel purchase in the amount of $600,000 from SC Commercial LLC, for the City’s bulk fuel needs for Fiscal Year 2025/26.
SUMMARY:
The City uses a cost-effective fuel contract through the County of Riverside to supply fuel for its fleet vehicles and equipment. This partnership helps the City save money and maintain a steady fuel supply. Previously approved funding for this purpose has already been fully expended, and additional funds are needed to cover fuel costs through the end of the 2024/25 fiscal year. Looking ahead, with fuel prices continuing to rise, staff recommend allocating $600,000 for the current Fiscal Year 2025/26 to ensure our city vehicles can continue to operate without interruption.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
With the construction of the Indio Corporate Yard, the City built an above-ground bulk fueling facility.
This new facility allows the City to purchase fuel in bulk at lower rates while providing a more secure and reliable way to fuel its fleet vehicles and equipment.
The County of Riverside has an active contract with SC Commercial, LLC for the purchase and delivery of fuel. This agreement runs through March 2027 and was established through a competitive bidding process.
City staff reviewed this County contract and determined that it meets the City of Indio’s requirements for both cost-effectiveness and fuel quality. Under the City’s municipal code (Section 33.116), cooperative purchasing is allowed when another public agency has already completed a competitive bidding process. This makes the County’s contract a qualified and efficient option for the City.
By using this contract, the City can continue purchasing fuel in a timely and cost-effective manner.
Additionally, the agreement provides flexibility, including access to a secondary vendor in case of emergencies.
On August 21, 2024, the City Council approved $500,000 for fuel purchases through this contract to support ongoing fleet operations. This funding has supported essential services by ensuring the City’s vehicles and equipment remain fueled and ready to operate.
AGENDA ITEM #10.17
Fuel purchase in the amount of $600,000 from SC Commercial LLC, for the ... Page 673 of 1774 As of May 2025, the full $500,000 has been used. Additional funds in the amount of $71,840.61 were needed to pay the remaining invoices for the rest of the Fiscal Year 2024/25.
Looking ahead, due to rising fuel costs, staff recommends approving $600,000 for fuel purchases for the upcoming Fiscal Year 2025/26 to ensure the City maintains a consistent and reliable fuel supply.

STAFF REPORT
To: City Council
From: Bryan H. Montgomery, City Manager
Prepared by: Timothy Wassil, Public Works Director
Subject: Resolution No. 10507 approving the application for Land and Water Conservation Funding for the Indio Sports Park Phase II Project RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 10507, approving the application for Land and Water Conservation Funding for Indio Sports Park Phase II; and authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute all documents necessary for the project to receive grant funds.
SUMMARY:
This resolution will authorize the submission of an application for the federal Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) assistance for Phase II of the Indio Sports Park project. It affirms the City's commitment to provide matching funds, adhere to federal and state guidelines, and ensure that any developed property will remain dedicated to public outdoor recreation use unless otherwise approved by the U.S. Secretary of the Interior. The resolution also designates the City Manager as the authorized agent to manage all aspects of the grant application and related project documentation.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The City of Indio is pursuing a $6,000,000 grant through the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF), administered by the California Department of Parks and Recreation, to support the development of Phase II of the Indio Sports Park. The LWCF program provides matching funds to support outdoor recreation projects that serve underserved communities and expand public park access. This grant would commit the City to match with $6,000,000 in secured local funds, bringing the total project cost to $12,000,000.
Phase II will develop 8.5 acres of currently vacant land adjacent to the 31-acre Phase I site, which is already under construction and expected to be completed by November 2025. Planned features for the Phase II application will include pickleball, tennis, basketball, and sand volleyball courts; a skatepark; an ADA-accessible splash pad and playgrounds; horseshoe pits; shaded picnic areas; and supportive amenities such as lighting, walkways, and parking. A concept layout is provided as Attachment 1. This expansion was shaped by community outreach and reflects priorities identified by residents during the development of the first phase, especially those in the adjacent Jewel neighborhood—a disadvantaged community with limited access to recreational facilities. A final list of amenities can be developed with continued community outreach and design, once we know how much money we will receive from the grant.
AGENDA ITEM #10.18
Resolution No. 10507, approving the application for Land and Water Conse... Page 708 of 1774 The proposed project directly supports LWCF priorities by expanding access to new parkland, creating multi-use recreational spaces for all age groups, and integrating health-oriented and environmentally sustainable design elements. Upon completion, the entire 39.5-acre Indio Sports Park will be placed under federal protection in perpetuity, as required by LWCF guidelines, ensuring it remains dedicated to public outdoor recreation. Approval of the resolution will also formally acknowledge the City’s commitment to preserving the Phase II project site as permanent open space for recreational use.
The City will secure its local match through future Capital Improvement Fund and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding. If awarded, staff anticipates completion of final design in 2026 and construction by the end of 2028. Staff recommends City Council approval of the resolution authorizing submission of the LWCF grant application and appointment of the City Manager to execute all necessary documents.

STAFF REPORT
To: City Council
From: Bryan H. Montgomery, City Manager
Prepared by: Timothy Wassil, Public Works Director
Subject: Resolution No. 10510, approving the updated Interstate 10 Freeway Agreement between the City of Indio and the California Department of Transportation
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve Resolution No. 10510, approving the updated Interstate 10 Freeway Agreement between the City of Indio and the California Department of Transportation and authorize the Mayor to execute the agreement.
SUMMARY:
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has updated the Freeway Agreement for Interstate 10 (I-10) through the City of Indio. Since the approval of the original Freeway Agreement in 1966, the City’s boundaries have changed. The revised Agreement includes an updated exhibit that accurately reflects the current City limits along I-10.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The City approved the existing I-10 Freeway Agreement with Caltrans on August 19, 1966, to grant Caltrans the authority to construct I-10 through the City limits and adjust any existing local roads to accommodate the freeway.
The original agreement only included I-10 for the City limits between Monroe Street and Van Buren Street (which is in the same north/south alignment as Golf Center Parkway), referenced as I-10 Freeway Post Miles R54.8 to R57.1. Since this time the City has expanded its jurisdictional borders and the new agreement will accurately update the I-10 Freeway Post Miles to include the City limits from approximately 0.4 miles east of Washington Street and 0.7 miles east of Golf Center Parkway, referenced as I-10 Freeway Post Miles 50.9 to R57.6.
According to the agreement the CITY agrees and consents to the closing of CITY streets, relocation of CITY streets, construction of frontage roads and other local streets, and other construction affecting CITY streets, all as shown on the plan map attached hereto, marked Exhibit A…” And as such, the Implications are:
The City is formally consenting to street modifications specifically to accommodate the State’s freeway plans.
AGENDA ITEM #10.19
Resolution No. 10510, approving the updated Interstate 10 Freeway Agreem... Page 715 of 1774 All modifications—street closures, relocations, or new construction—must align with the Caltrans’ freeway project design, as reflected in Exhibit A, which illustrates the State’s proposed plan for the freeway corridor through the City. This ensures that local infrastructure changes will not interfere with, and will in fact support, the overall design and function of the Route 10 freeway improvements.
Other terms of the agreement have been updated to accommodate the fact that I-10 is now existing and any changes to the freeway or it’s local road connections will be made under separate Cooperative Agreements or Encroachment Permits, which has been the standard practice.

STAFF REPORT
To: City Council
From: Bryan H. Montgomery, City Manager
Prepared by: Timothy Wassil, Public Works Director
Subject: Amendment 2 to the Professional Services Agreement with Harris & Associates in an amount not-to-exceed $135,220.61, for the Avenue 44 Bridge Project, City Project No. BR1101
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve Amendment 2 to the Professional Services Agreement with Harris & Associates in an amount not-to-exceed $135,220.61, for the Avenue 44 Bridge Project, City Project No. BR1101, and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement.
SUMMARY:
The Avenue 44 Bridge Project is a vital infrastructure improvement that will replace a low water crossing with a new bridge, widen Avenue 44 from two to four lanes, and add bike lanes and sidewalks to enhance safety and multimodal access. To support construction and maintain compliance with the City’s Quality Assurance Plan, staff recommend approving Amendment 2 with Harris & Associates for $135,220.61, which reflects fair and reasonable costs for necessary additional services to keep the project on track for completion by summer 2026.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
In 2011, the City of Indio received federal funding from the Highway Bridge Program (HBP) to replace the existing low water crossing at Avenue 44 with a new bridge. In addition to the bridge, Avenue 44 will be widened from two to four lanes of traffic and will include Class II bike lanes and sidewalk from Palo Verde Street to Apache Street. The project will improve the multimodal access along CV Link by providing an undercrossing at Avenue 44 and more direct access along Avenue 44 to the Jewel Community and Indio Sports Park.
On July 17, 2024, the City Council approved a $3,371,700.35 agreement with Harris & Associates for construction management, inspection, and material testing services to ensure compliance with the City’s Quality Assurance Plan.
On April 16, 2025, the City approved Amendment 1 in the amount of $35,753.40 for additional services with Harris & Associates, to support the construction efforts including summarizing the environmental mitigation efforts performed each year throughout the duration of construction.
As construction has progressed, it has become apparent that the Project will require more material testing than originally anticipated due in part to construction resequencing that has increased the AGENDA ITEM #10.20
Amendment 2 to the Professional Services Agreement with Harris & Associa... Page 726 of 1774 amount of onsite material testing and additional offsite material testing required by the project specifications.
An amendment is now needed to increase the agreement by $135,220.61 to cover the additional material testing. This amendment brings the total agreement amount to a not-to-exceed value of $3,542,674.36.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY:
Current FY Financial
Impact:
$135,220.61 In current year budget: No

$0 Strategic Objective: Public Infrastructure
Source of funds: CIP Improvements Non-Bldg. Fund-Org-Object Reference:
300-554002
Additional Financial Details:
Amendment 2 with Harris & Associates will exceed the currently available federal funding allocated for construction management services on the Avenue 44 Bridge Project. While the additional cost of $135,220.61 remains eligible for future reimbursement if the City secures additional federal funds, the City must front the cost in the interim.
To accommodate this, staff recommends a budget adjustment to reallocate $135,220.61 from unused FY25/26 funds in Project No. PK2304 – Miles Avenue Skate Park. This project currently has $1 million budgeted for design and construction; however, it is on hold while the City pursues grant funding to potentially incorporate the skate park into Phase 2 of the Indio Sports Park. Should the adjustment be approved, $864,779.39 would remain available for the Miles Skate Park project pending future grant outcomes.

Dear Mr. Uyeno and Mr. Nickerson:
Thank you for your prompt review of our Updated Budget Amendment #2 Request; based on your comments we are submitting a second updated request to eliminate the additional 10% fixed fee profit related to the additional materials testing services associated with this request.
Included herewith is an updated Cost Proposal 10H1 Form for Leighton “Change Order #1” showing the additional effort that includes 580 hours (at $91,540.61 fully burdened cost) and additional ODCs of an additional 2,400 mileage reimbursement ($1,680) and $42,000 in additional laboratory testing budget for a total of $135,220.61. A summary list of future material testing based on the contractor’s construction schedule, and associated estimate of material testing costs is included.
Also included herewith is a revised Cost Proposal 10H1 Form for Leighton capturing the most recent Revision #3 adjustments for Leighton and incorporates the additional effort and ODC costs identified in its Change Order #1 cost proposal form for a revised total of $334,066.38 (or an increase of $135,220).
If you have any questions regarding the nature of our Budget Amendment #2 Request, please let us know at your earliest opportunity. We appreciate in advance the City’s expeditious consideration of this request, and appreciate the opportunity to continue partnering with the City on delivering this project.

Staff recommends that the City Council delegate City Manager to execute a three-year agreement from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2028 with the County of Riverside for Animal Control Field and Shelter Services in a form approved by the City Attorney.
SUMMARY:
Although the City Council reviewed and approved a one year agreement with the County of Riverside for Animal Control Field and Shelter Services during the June 18, 2025 meeting, the County recently informed City staff that the contract term must be three years. The County has stated that they are working on three year contracts will all 16 contract cities to keep consistency, service stability to enhance live-outcomes, continuity to bring on additional staff, and provide a three-year phase in on rate increases.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
During the June 18, 2025 City Council meeting, the City Council reviewed the proposed agreement with Riverside County Department of Animal Services (RCDAS) for local animal services. The City Council shared concerns about the rising costs of services and feedback that they have heard throughout the community about field services provided by County Animal Control Officers (ACO) and have requested additional details and reports from RCDAS. The City Council provided direction to City Staff to enter into a one-year agreement with RCDAS and to provide a detailed report on service levels in November or December 2025 to determine appropriate animal care services levels for the following years.
Subsequently, City staff contacted RCDAS to finalize the agreement for one-year as directed by City Council, but the County stated that the contract must be a three-year term. The County further shared that a shorter contract term would be challenging because they are working on three year contracts will all 16 contract cities to keep consistency, service stability to enhance live-outcomes, continuity to bring on additional staff, and provide a three-year phase in on rate increases.
As previously shared, RCDAS has proposed a three-year service agreement as follows:
Shelter Services
AGENDA ITEM #10.22
Three-Year Agreement for Animal Control Field and Shelter Services with ... Page 747 of 1774 The shelter services component of the contract proposes some modifications to continue to improve live outcomes and enhance life savings programs countywide through:
1. An increase in animal care staff.
2. Enhanced adoption and foster teams.
3. Intake to placement program support.
4. Media/marketing team expansion.
In order to achieve these goals, the County has proposed an additional 38 positions equating to approximately a $4,565,425 annual cost increase countywide. The new staff include 23 Animal Services Counselors, 4 Senior Animal Services Counselors, 3 Analyst, 6 Supervisors, 1 Public Information/Media Specialist, and 1 Manager.
The cost increase of the countywide shelter services adjustment would be shared by all 16 cities and county unincorporated areas that are serviced by RCDAS. Additionally, the County hired a consultant to evaluate the cost of providing services and there is a recommendation to adjust baseline shelter costs between all agencies. The additional staff and the adjustment of baseline shelter cost increases City of Indio’s proportional share of the annual cost by approximately $351,841.
The County has proposed phasing in the additional shelter services cost over a three-year period as follows:
Shelter Services for City of Indio
FY 24-25 FY 25-26 FY 26-27 FY 27-28
$399,998 $458,638 $634,558 $751,839
Field Services
RCDAS currently charges the City of Indio the cost of three full-time Animal Control Officers (ACO) that are scheduled to provide services 7 days per week from 7:30 am to 5:30 p.m. Additionally, any overtime that an ACO works is charged at a rate of 1.5 per hour. RCDAS has proposed the following base rates for the three full-time ACOs over the next three years, plus the cost of any actual overtime worked:

v. Records shall be kept for a period of not less than three (3) years on each euthanized animal shall include the following information: breed; sex; color; weight; other distinguishing characteristics; date, time and location where animal was found, method of euthanasia, and reason for use of method.
E. “Healthy” means and include all dogs and cats eight weeks of age or older that, at or subsequent to the time the animal is taken into possession, have manifested no sign of a behavioral or temperamental characteristic that could pose a health or safety risk or otherwise make the animal unsuitable for placement as a pet, and have manifested no sign of disease, injury, a congenital or hereditary condition that adversely affects the health of the animal or that is likely to adversely affect the animal’s health in the future.

The REARS Team is dedicated to carrying out the operational tasks of rescuing, evacuating, sheltering and caring for animals during emergencies and is made up of local government animal welfare staff and volunteers trained in animal rescue and emergency animal care. This cadre of trained individuals is supervised, during incidents, by Riverside County Department of Animal Services management staff.
27. Animal Disposal: COUNTY shall prohibit any animal whether dead or alive, which has been impounded, in custody, or in quarantine at the Shelter to be given away, disposed of, traded, sold or in any manner given over to another person, organization or entity for experimentation, regardless of purpose. COUNTY shall be responsible for the disposal of animal remains in its custody or control, subject to applicable State laws.
28. Pet Support Services Program: The COUNTY's Pet Support Program services are activities that go beyond providing housing for dogs and cats and have the effect of keeping pets out of the Shelters and in homes and healthy environments.
This strategy allows the COUNTY to manage and reduce the flow of both owned pets and stray animals into their care, which is accomplished by partnering with the community and providing resources and solutions. Through the COUNTY’s pet support services staff provides counseling to pet owners or connects them with resources such as free pet food and supplies, medical vouchers, and other critical resources all intended to help keep pets with their families. This human/pet assistance program is funded almost entirely through donations and grants received by the COUNTY.
This program has reduced the number of surrendered animals admitted to the COUNTY’s care centers to those who have no other opportunity for rehoming.
This is reducing the costs that are associated with sheltering cats and dogs.
A. Components of Pet Support Services:
• Community Engagement is key to successfully employing this program, giving the community an opportunity to foster, network animals, facilitate adoptions, and to develop solutions to keep pets with their owners. • The COUNTY encourages people who have found stray animals to attempt to
Three-Year Agreement for Animal Control Field and Shelter Services with ... Page 777 of 1774
9 reunite the pets with their families. The COUNTY also encourages residents to allow free roaming cats to remain where they live, as these are often pets or community cats.
• To reduce the relinquishment of owned pets, the COUNTY will provide resources such as training, food, and supplies, or other support to help keep pets in their homes.
• Public safety and animal welfare are a priority. Animals that pose a safety threat will immediately and safely be admitted by the COUNTY, as will animals that are sick or injured.
29. Healthy Pet Zone: COUNTY aids the public in times of crisis on a case-by-case basis that includes access to veterinary care and temporary boarding. CITY must refer public to COUNTY for program assistance.
30. Individual Animal Licensing Services: Adult dogs four months of age and older are required by State law to have individual licenses. The CITY may request that the Department enforce licensing requirements in the CITY as described in ATTACHMENT A. The CITY may adopt the COUNTY’s fees for individual animal licenses or set its own fees as permitted in ATTACHMENT A.
License renewal notices are mailed or transmitted by the Department to the animal owner of record. The renewal and payment are received and processed on a feeper-license basis. A current license will be required before an animal will be released to a resident of the CITY. Fees from licenses collected will be credited to the CITY monthly in arrears.
The COUNTY’s animal licensing services include:
a. Issuing animal licenses for pets as requested by the CITY; b. Processing license applications, payments, and information changes; c. Issuing license renewal notices;
d. Assessing and collecting fees, penalties, and other financial remittances; e. Maintaining a database for animal licensing, records of calls for service, and actions taken; and
f. Maintaining the Rabies Vaccination Certificate tool database which scans rabies vaccination data reported by private veterinary clinics to identify unlicensed pets in our jurisdictions and generate compliance notices to pet owners.
31. Kennel and Cattery Licensing: The Department's Kennel and Cattery Licensing program provides staff to perform animal facility inspections and licensing to animal-related businesses or organizations that require a license under COUNTY
Three-Year Agreement for Animal Control Field and Shelter Services with ... Page 778 of 1774
9 Ordinance. Animal-related facilities are inspected annually to ensure the safety and well-being of the animals as well as the health and safety of the public.
The COUNTY retains kennel license fees to offset the cost of annual inspections and related administrative costs. Staff time for licensing and inspections is not billed to the CITY. However, investigations in response to complaints about activities at a licensed location are conducted by Animal Control Officers based in the COUNTY’s animal shelters and are billed in accordance with ATTACHMENT B, City/County Service Rates.
This program includes:
a. Annual inspection of any premise used by an animal-related business or nonprofit organization, including grooming shops, pet shops, boarding facilities or breeding facilities, animal menageries, and all other places where animals are maintained for profit or business activities.

Rates Methodology
Cities are financially responsible for the care of animals impounded within the City’s jurisdiction and the County is responsible for the care of animals impounded within the County’s jurisdiction. When a city contracts for services, it can save by sharing resources with the County and other contracted cities.
The existing County/City contract rates model is complex, and administrative staff, county and city, are required to invest a significant amount of time preparing, reviewing, discussing and justifying billing for each of the contract cities, monthly. The current methodology also does not allow the agencies to budget for the cost of shelter services provided since they are based on the incoming animals and length of stay. The unpredictability of these shelter costs can cause a burden on contracting cities, making it hard for them to budget and pay timely. This can also cause a burden on the County in collecting these revenues. It also does not incentivize the agencies to promote animal licensing, spay or neutering of the animals, adoptions or other revenue generating activities within their jurisdictions.
The County has gone away from a per animal methodology for shelter services and developed a “Piece of the Pie” billing methodology, where each city’s contribution is based on its proportional impact to the County shelter system. The impact is calculated using a variety of factors. By distributing costs based on actual usage and demand, this approach ensures fair allocation of expenses while promoting engagement and efficient resource management. Animal Control and Sheltering costs are generally driven by:
Field Services Shelter Services
a. Calls for service a. Average Length of Stay
b. Time to complete a service call b. Number of Impounds c. Staff c. Staff
d. Administration d. Program expenses
e. Support Services e. Administration
f. Population f. Support Services
g. Facilities
h. Population
To simplify the methodology these drivers were categorized into three (3) cost pools:
a. Shelter Costs to house and care for the animals;
b. Animal Control Field Services Costs (as applicable); and c. Split costs that were allocated between the two primary categories are based on either the ratio of the shelter category costs to field category costs or based on statistics provided by Animal Services for its call center.
Three-Year Agreement for Animal Control Field and Shelter Services with ... Page 790 of 1774
1. SHELTER COSTS DISTRIBUTION
The costs of providing Shelter Services were determined by using three different allocation areas, based on the RCDAS FY 24/25. These allocation areas were weighted based on the impact to shelter resources:
a. Average Impound numbers (number of animals that come into the shelter for each city and the unincorporated areas of the County – Animals/month based on 30 months or the length of the contract if less than 30 months). (30% impact weight)
b. Average Length of stay (LOS) for animals per city and the unincorporated areas of the County – LOS/month based on 30 months or the length of the contract if less than 30 months.
(50% impact weight)
c. On the human population of a city.
(20% impact weight)
Within each of the allocations, spilt costs are included. The cities and the County were assigned a percentage of the cost based on their statistic or number and the ratio to the total.
2. FIELD SERVICES DISTRIBUTION
The costs of providing field services were allocated based on the minimum number of officers required – Officer + Vehicle
a. Total field service costs are divided by the total number of officers to find the annual cost per unit.
b. Overtime, overtime holiday, and vehicle lease are excluded from the total field services costs for cities.
c. Vehicle charges are added per officer vehicle, field leadership vehicle and licensing vehicle.
Only those cities who opt for Animal Control Officer Services will be allocated their piece of the costs. Within each of the allocations, spilt costs are included.
Three-Year Agreement for Animal Control Field and Shelter Services with ... Page 791 of 1774
3. SPLIT SERVICES DISTRIBUTION
These costs consist of Administration, Facilities, and Support, each uniquely supporting either shelter or field operations and were split between Shelter and Field based on the ratio of the budgeted amounts identified as either shelter or field.
By using the piece of pie methodology, with the three different allocation areas, and then weighted based on a city’s impact to shelter resources, cities will be charged for their proportion of the total County animal shelter costs incurred during the fiscal year as illustrated below.
EXAMPLE:
Hypothetical animal sheltering services budget to distribute: $20,000,000 Total Average Impounds weighted @ 30% of costs = $6,000,000 Total Average Kenneling Days weighted @ 50% of total costs = $10,000,000 Total Population weighted @ 20% of costs = $4,000,000
City A has 2.9% of the average total impounds/yr.
City A has 2.5% of the average of Kenneling days/yr.
City A has a population that is 7% of the total served pop. (County + all contract Cities) City A: (0.029 * $6,000,000) + (0.025 * $10,000,000) + (0.070 * $4,000,000) = $704,000 City A’s future FY cost = $704,000
Payments of $176,000 made quarterly which will be reduced by any licensing revenue For the contract term. City A’s animal shelter budget shall follow the following three (3) year 4% fixed-rate schedule:
$704,000.00 for fiscal year 2025-2026 (contract year 1) $732,160.00 for fiscal year 2026-2027 (contract year 2) $761,446.40 for fiscal year 2027-2028 (contract year 3)
4. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
A. Medical Costs
Medical costs (excluding spay/neuter surgeries) provided by the County’s medical staff are included in shelter costs to establish each city and the County’s rate for sheltering and are not billed separately or in addition to that rate. The County reserves the right to send any animal to a private veterinary facility for
Three-Year Agreement for Animal Control Field and Shelter Services with ... Page 792 of 1774 examination, treatment, and/or hospitalization as the County deems necessary in its sole and absolute discretion. All expenses incurred by the County for outside medical services, for animals from a City, will be billed to the City.
B. Billing for “Legal Hold” and Other Shelter Services:
Because the Piece of the Pie Methodology is based on average intakes, Dogs and cats that are housed for a “legal hold” and other shelter services are not billed separately. The length of stay data (from intake to disposition) for each animal will be collected for future contract negotiation purposes and can be available to a city, upon request. Legal hold animals are held in accordance with applicable statutory guidelines, and/or at the sole and absolute discretion of the County based on pending or anticipated criminal, civil, or administrative action.
C. Capital Improvements
Each year this contract is in effect, the County may submit to the contracted cities during the regular budget process a request for any needed capital improvements to the Shelter. Any such request shall include a description of the requested improvements and an estimate of their cost. Contracted cities shall give good faith consideration to each request; however, it is understood that capital improvements are subject to overall city budgetary priorities and funds availability, and a city shall in no event be obligated to contribute to such capital improvements. If an emergency arises relating to Shelter maintenance during the term of this contract, the County shall advise the contracted cities within forty-eight (48) hours so that the cities may decide whether to take appropriate action.
D. Level of Field Service
a. Level of Service Specified. The County shall provide all enforcement services at the minimum level based on an average number of calls to that city.
b. Variation in Level of Service. Variations in the level of service shall be made by amendment as provided for in Section XI of this Agreement, and under the following terms.
i. If City requests an increase in the level of service to be provided under this Agreement, County agrees to provide such increased level of Service as soon as practicable.
ii. The level of service, however, may not be reduced to below the minimum level, as determined by County, required to ensure public and officer safety.
Three-Year Agreement for Animal Control Field and Shelter Services with ... Page 793 of 1774 E. Cost Offsets
A contracted city will receive credit from the County for all applicable redemption fees collected from or on behalf of the owner of an animal that is claimed from the custody of the Department, up to the maximum amount billed to the city for that animal. The Department reserves the right to waive fees when appropriate in the Department's sole and absolute discretion.
A city will not receive any credit for adoption fees (whether paid by an individual or an organization).
F. Revenues
Revenues are applied to reduce the costs for shelter and field services.
