SUBJECT: EXTENSION OF THE ANIMAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH THE
CITY OF MILPITAS
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a second amendment to the agreement between the City of Milpitas and the City of San José Animal Care and Services
Division to extend the agreement through June 30, 2023 with compensation of $510,000 for Fiscal Year 2022-2023.
OUTCOME
If this action is approved, the City of San José Animal Care and Services Division will continue providing animal services for the City of Milpitas for the period of July 1,2022 to June 30, 2023.
The estimated compensation will be $510,000.
BACKGROUND
The City of San José has provided animal care and services to the City of Milpitas continuously since July 1, 2001. The services provided includes: emergency and public safety response, stray animal pick-up, bite investigations, quarantine, animal crime investigations, animal nuisance complaints, animal licensing, dead animal pick up, stray animal pick up, animal shelter services, and after-hours emergency response.
Since 2001, the City of San José and City of Milpitas have continued to extend the contract for services. The current contract, initially for a term from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2021, was extended for an additional year through June 30, 2022 and is set to expire. The City of Milpitas is interested in a long-term contract with the City of San Jose. However, current contract discussions are taking longer than expected. A one-year extension allows the City of Milpitas and City of San Jose to continue negotiating a long-term contract. The extension allows field and shelter services for the City of Milpitas to continue without any interruption.
