Whereas, it is necessary and desirable that Contractor be retained for the purpose of San Mateo County Health- Public Health, Policy & Planning.
Now, therefore, it is agreed by the parties to this Agreement as follows:
1. Exhibits and Attachments
The following exhibits and attachments are attached to this Agreement and incorporated into this Agreement by this reference:

Attachment I—§ 504 Compliance
Services to be performed by Contractor
In consideration of the payments set forth in this Agreement and in Exhibit B, Contractor shall perform services for County in accordance with the terms, conditions, and specifications set forth in this Agreement and in Exhibit A.
2. Payments
In consideration of the services provided by Contractor in accordance with all terms, conditions, and specifications set forth in this Agreement and in Exhibit A, County shall make payment to Contractor based on the rates and in the manner specified in Exhibit B.

Re: Notice of Construction Costs for the Animal Care Shelter Facility Dear Robert,
On or about September 9, 2014, the municipalities within San Mateo County entered into an agreement (“the Agreement”) to share the construction costs of a new animal care shelter facility. The agreement provides that the County of San Mateo will advance the funds for construction to be repaid by the municipalities according to their share, through a 30-year, interest-free lease agreement.
On March 6, 2020, construction of the new animal shelter building was completed, and certificate of occupancy was issued. The old shelter building was demolished shortly thereafter, and final project completion (with exception of photovoltaic installment) is slated for approximately July 30, 2020. Final project costs are reasonably determinable and anticipated to be approximately $28,300,000. The municipalities’ final shared responsibility is anticipated to be $25,700,000 or $856,758 annually. The County will not seek reimbursement for $2,600,000 in project costs comprised of an upgraded heating ventilation air conditioning ($600,000), a photovoltaic system ($1,200,000), miscellaneous site improvements related to landscaping, fencing, and parking ($530,000), and relocation of a City of Burlingame water line ($270,000).
The final column of Attachment B to this letter sets forth each municipalities’ final annual lease amount, as calculated in the manner proscribed by the Agreement. Final costs exceed the June 2018 estimate by approximately 3%. This marginal increase is a result of escalated regional construction costs and unforeseen circumstances encountered during construction, including requirements for ongoing air-quality monitoring, soil remediation and treatment, fire safety system modifications, PG&E delays, and necessary and reasonable end-user logistical design modifications. The County of San Mateo has worked diligently and successfully to minimize these additional costs while delivering a high-quality facility that will stand the test of time.
Though we had to cancel the ribbon-cutting for the facility due to the pandemic, we look forward to holding, at the appropriate time, a reception to celebrate our successful regional collaboration. In lieu of an in-person tour, we’ve enclosed photographs of the exterior of the new facility and site. Pursuant to paragraph 3 of the Agreement, annual payments to County to reimburse for costs of construction shall become due on the initial July 1st after a certificate of occupancy is issued for the new shelter, and each subsequent July 1st for the next 29 years thereafter. Please find enclosed the invoice and payment instructions for the initial lease payment for your municipality.
Should you have any project questions, please contact Director Adam Ely of the Project Development Unit at 650.722.8112. Should you have any payment questions, please contact Robert Manchia at 650.363.4597.
Sincerely,
Mike Callagy

THIS MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT, dated for reference as of September 9, 2014, (the "Agreement"), is by and among the COUNTY OF SAN MATEO (the "County"), and the cities of ATHERTON, BELMONT, BRISBANE, BURLINGAME, COLMA, DALY CITY, EAST
PALO ALTO, FOSTER CITY, HALF MOON BAY, HILLSBOROUGH, MENLO PARK,
MILLBRAE, PACIFICA, PORTOLA VALLEY, REDWOOD CITY, SAN BRUNO, SAN CARLOS, SAN MATEO, SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, AND WOODSIDE (each, a "City," and collectively, the "Cities," and, together with the County, the "Parties").
RECITALS
The County and the Cities are parties to an Agreement for Animal Control Services dated as of April 26, 2011, pursuant to which the County provides animal control services in the unincorporated area of the County, as well as in the jurisdictional boundaries of the twenty Cities within the County, listed above, each of which is a party to the Agreement for Animal Control Services.
As set forth in the Agreement for Animal Control Services, the Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA ("PHS") presently serves as the County Contractor for the provision of certain animal control services to the County and the Cities. These services and the terms of PHS' performance of them are contained in an Animal Control Services Agreement between the County and PHS dated as of April 26, 2011.
In conjunction with and pursuant to the Animal Control Services Agreement, the County has leased to the PHS the land at 12 Airport Boulevard, in San Mateo, California, on which an Animal Care Shelter facility owned and operated by PHS is presently located.
The Parties agree that, owing to the obsolescence of the existing Animal Care Shelter facility, it is now necessary to construct a new facility and the Parties enter into this Agreement to set forth the allocation of, and process for payment of, the construction cost for the new Animal Care Shelter facility among the Parties.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows:
1. Construction Cost Allocation Methodology: The Parties agree that construction costs for the new Animal Care Shelter facility shall be allocated among the Parties based on the formula set forth in Exhibit A to this Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference. This formula reflects each Party's actual use of the existing Animal Care Shelter facility in 2009, 2010, and 2011 as a percentage of all Parties' total use of the facility, as well as each Party's total population as of 2010, as a percentage of the County's total population as of that date. The formula is weighted 80% to a City's average facility use over the three years preceding the year in question and 20% to population. The Parties agree that each year, the County shall recalculate three year average facility usage for each City and that Exhibit A (and each Party's prospective Lease Payment obligations, as described in Section 3 of this Agreement) shall be amended to reflect such recalculations. The Parties further agree that the County shall, upon request of a City, promptly provide the requesting City with copies of the data and documents used to calculate each City's facilities usage.
2. County Advancing Construction Costs: The Parties agree that the County shall advance, on an interest free basis, all funds required to pay the construction costs for the new Animal Care Shelter facility. For purposes of this Agreement, "construction costs" include all expenses for architectural and inspector services, project management service, environmental review, planning and building fees and costs, and actual contractor construction services. The Parties understand and agree that construction costs for the Animal Care Shelter facility are anticipated at this time to be twenty million two hundred thousand dollars ($20,200,000). The Parties will be provided with further information regarding the construction costs for the Animal Care Shelter facility within a reasonable period of time after such information becomes available or prior to the Certificate of Occupancy being issued. The Parties agree that if the County receives information indicating that the construction costs for the Animal Care Shelter facility will exceed $20,200,000 by 10% or more, the County shall provide notice to each City of the revised estimated construction costs within a reasonable period of time before such additional construction costs are incurred. The Parties further agree that the County shall, upon request of a City, promptly confer with such City or Cities regarding the additional construction costs and any means by which such additional construction costs may be minimized.
3. Parties' Payment of Proportional Share of Construction Costs: Each Party agrees that, during the term of this Agreement for as long as the new Animal Care Shelter facility is occupied and used for animal care shelter purposes, the Party shall pay the County an annual Lease Payment beginning on the first July 1st after a certificate of occupancy is issued for the new Animal Care Shelter facility, and on each subsequent July 1st for the next twenty nine years thereafter. Each Party's Lease Payment shall be equal to the Party's proportional share of the construction cost of the new Animal Care Shelter facility amortized on a straight line basis over thirty years, as set forth in Exhibit A to this Agreement, as Exhibit A may be amended from time to time as provided in Section 1 of this Agreement. Each Party's obligation to make a Lease Payment shall remain in place only for so long as the Party is a signatory to the Agreement for Animal Control Services, or any successor agreement addressing materially the same subject matter. In the event that a Party terminates its participation in this Agreement pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement, the County shall, upon receiving notice of that Party's termination, recalculate the remaining Parties' Lease Payment obligations pursuant to the Construction Cost Allocation Methodology set forth in Section 1 of this Agreement. The County shall promptly provide all remaining Parties with notice of their recalculated Lease Payment obligations. Each remaining Party shall thereafter have the option to either (a) pay the recalculated increased annual Lease Payments during the remaining term of the Agreement; or (b) request that the County allow the remaining Party a period of up to 5 years after the end of the thirty year period set forth in this Section 3 of the Agreement to pay the County the remaining Party's additional allocated share of construction costs for the Animal Care Facility attributable to the departure of the terminating Party.
4. Term and Termination: Except as set forth above, this Agreement shall be effective for the period from September 9, 2014 until each Party has made the last payment required under Section 3 of this Agreement. Except as set forth in Section 3 of the Agreement (i.e., by terminating participation in the Agreement for Animal Control Services), no Party may terminate this Agreement during its term. A Party terminating its participation in this Agreement shall do so effective as of December 31 of a year during the term of this Agreement and shall provide each other Party to this Agreement with at least one full year's prior written notice of the Party's intent to terminate its participation in the Agreement.
5. Amendments/Entire Agreement: Amendments to this Agreement must be in writing and approved by the governing body of each Party. This is the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the construction of the new Animal Care Shelter facility and it supersedes any prior written or oral agreements with respect to the subject.
6. Hold Harmless: Each City shall hold harmless, indemnify, and defend County, its officers, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, suits, or actions of every kind brought for or on account of injuries to or death of any person or damage to any property of any kind whatsoever and to whomsoever belonging which arise out of the performance or nonperformance of City's covenants and obligations under this Agreement and which result from the actively negligent or wrongful acts of City or its officers, employees, or agents.
County shall hold harmless, indemnify, and defend each City, its officers, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, suits, or actions of every kind brought for or on account of injuries to or death of any person or damage to any property of any kind whatsoever and to whomsoever belonging which arise out of the performance or nonperformance of County's covenants and obligations under this Agreement and which result from the actively negligent or wrongful acts of County or its officers, employees, or agents.
This provision requiring County to hold harmless, indemnify, and defend each City shall expressly not apply to claims, losses, liabilities, or damages arising from actions or omissions, negligent or otherwise, of PHS or any other independent contractor providing animal controlrelated services pursuant to a contract with the County. Claims related to the planning and/or construction of the new Animal Care Shelter facility are not claims, losses, liabilities, or damages related to "animal control-related services" within the meaning of this Agreement.
In the event of concurrent negligence of the County, its officers, or employees, and any City, its officers and employees, then the liability for any and all claims for injuries or damages to persons and/or property or any other loss or cost which arises out of the terms, conditions, covenants or responsibilities of this Agreement shall be apportioned in any dispute or litigation according to the California theory of comparative negligence.
7. Assignability: Except as otherwise expressly provided for herein, no Party shall assign any of its obligations or rights hereunder without the consent of all other Parties.
8. Notices: Any notices required to be given pursuant to this Agreement shall be given in writing and shall be mailed to all Parties to the Agreement, as follows:

1 City Service Agreement History Overview
The city service agreements were established in 1985. The agreements stipulate services for mandated programs and the enforcement of all animal related laws. The original city fees were based on Department costs at that time and on a city’s population (per capita). In 2005 and 2006, the Animal Services Department increased city fees for animal services each fiscal year based on the municipality’s population growth and the Consumer Price Index (CPI) percentage.
In FY 11/12, the Department suspended the annual CPI increase as a result of the economic environment at that time. The annual CPI increase was reinstated in FY 16/17, though no action was taken at that time to address the gap left by the four-year suspension of rate increases.
2 2020 City Agreement Discussions
In January of 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved the Finance Committee’s recommendation to increase city fees and the cities were notified. During the March 2020 Public Managers Association (PMA) meeting, the County was notified that the cities were not in agreement with the proposed new fee schedule and service agreement.
In May of 2020, CCAS advised the cities of a revised fee for service in FY20/21 as requested during the March PMA meeting. The revised fee was based on CPI of 2.5% above FY 19/20 fees of $6.38 per capita. The fees for FY 20/21 were set at $6.54 per capita. In September of 2020, the Department advised the cities of service level changes that would become effective 10/5/20 due to the lack of appropriate funding allocations. 3 What do the city fees pay for?
4 Contra Costa County Animal Services provides a full complement of services for our city residents.
• Field Service Officers – enforcement and community service • A 38,000 sq. ft facility to house animals while they are in our care • A medical and husbandry team to provide basic daily care to the animals as well as any necessary medical care.
• An administrative team to manage a call center, support dispatch services, assist the public in person, online, by phone.
• A team to support administrative hearings for dangerous animals and noise violations.
City Service Agreement Challenges
Fees inadequate to support expenses for services
provided.
Expenses to provide services grew faster than city
revenues.
Population/needs for services increased.
Response times increased while call volume backed up
and became overwhelming.
City agreements only cover mandated services.
