AMENDMENT BETWEEN THE COUNTY OF CONTRA COSTA AND THE CITY OF
RICHMOND, CA ANIMAL SEVICES AGREEMENT
County of Contra Costa (“County”), a political subdivision of the State of California, and the City of Richmond (“City”), a municipal corporation of the State of California and in the County, hereby execute this administrative amendment to the City-County Animal Services Agreement, effective July 1, 2022 (“Agreement”), to correct an error in the Agreement and to accurately reflect the original intent and agreed upon terms between the City and County. NOW THEREFORE, County and City hereby amend the Agreement, as follows:
1. Correct Section 13.a.iii. of the Agreement. To accurately reflect the original intent and agreed upon terms between the City and County, Section 13.a.iii. of the Agreement is hereby amended to remove the erroneous clause “…of the unincorporated area plus the…” Section 13.a.iii. is therefore deleted in its entirety and replaced with the below Section 13.a.iii., as set forth below:
13. … a. … iii. For each fiscal year thereafter, the per capita rate for the Annual Fee shall be calculated using the following formula: (A) The County’s budgeted cost to provide Animal Services throughout the County in that fiscal year, minus the sum of animal licensing fees and user fees projected to be received from all County residents in that fiscal year, minus the budgeted County general fund contribution for that fiscal year, divided by (B) the sum of the population of all cities for which the County provides Animal Services. For example, if the budgeted cost to provide Animal Services throughout the County is $12,640,000, the animal licensing and user fees projected to be received are $1,620,000, the budgeted general fund contribution is $4,112,000, and the population is 866,583, then the per capita Annual Fee would be $7.97 per capita [($12,640,000 - $1,620,000 - $4,112,000) / 866,583]. For a City with a population of 100,000, the total Annual Fee would be $797,000.
2. Aside from the amended Section 13.a.iii of the Agreement, set forth above, all other terms and conditions of the Agreement shall remain in effect as provided therein. Furthermore, nothing in this amendment to the Agreement shall be construed to affect the interpretation of any other section(s) of the Agreement, except for those explicitly referenced above.
