Item # 22
City of Santa Ana
20 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, CA 92701
Staff Report
April 4, 2023
TOPIC: Animal Licensing Services Agreement
AGENDA TITLE
Approve an Agreement with PetData, Inc. for Animal Licensing Services for up to a Three-Year Term and Two One-Year Renewal Periods
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with PetData, Inc. for animal licensing services for a three-year period, from April 4, 2023 through April 3, 2026, with two one-year extension periods, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney; there is a one-time start-up fee of $1,000 and an ongoing fee of $4.30 for each one-year license processed.
DISCUSSION
The Treasury and Customer Service Division of the Finance and Management Services Agency is responsible for managing the City’s dog licensing program. Currently, it uses an in-house software program that has been used for over 20 years. Due to the age of this in-house dog licensing program, there are limited technological capabilities and it does not offer a customer portal website that is user-friendly for Santa Ana residents to initiate or renew a dog license online. After reviewing available software, staff found there is only one feasible option to meet the City’s needs. Therefore, staff recommends utilizing PetData, Inc. (“PetData”) as the sole source provider for the City’s dog license program. PetData is the largest animal licensing organization in the U.S. and is the only private company currently providing custom and comprehensive turnkey animal licensing program to municipalities.
PetData is a company whose sole purpose is animal licensing. PetData has over 25 years of experience providing animal license services to municipalities. The company operates nationwide, processing millions of animal licenses and rabies vaccination certificates each year. PetData currently provides animal licensing services to neighboring southern California cities such as Torrance, Hawthorne, Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, Garden Grove, San Clemente-Dana Point, and Santa Barbara. Unlike other companies that sell licensing software, PetData is the only company that provides both user software and processing capabilities.

PetData can handle all aspects of the City’s dog licensing program, including the following: processing animal license applications and renewals received online or by mail; providing customer service to residents via phone, email and mail; mailing renewal and reminder notices for expiring animal licenses; mailing new and replacement tags to pet owners; providing online access to licensing data for Animal Control and canvassing contractor, processing and updating rabies vaccination records; updating owner and pet information; collecting and processing animal licensing fees; providing sales and revenue reporting; and remitting revenue to the City. Additionally, PetData will provide information and forms for the City to use at public events and in veterinary offices. The City maintains ownership of all the data, which can be incorporated into existing City systems if necessary. PetData will also work with the County of Orange – Animal Services department, the City’s contracted animal shelter service provider.
Furthermore, PetData provides a customized webpage dedicated to the City’s dog licensing program, which can be accessed through the City’s website. PetData provides a dedicated telephone number for residents to call for customer service, which includes an auto-attendant that provides basic registration instructions 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Therefore, staff recommends City Council approval of an agreement with PetData to allow and improve how Santa Ana residents can process and pay for a new or renewed animal license online.
FISCAL IMPACT
There would be a $1,000 start-up fee to cover all aspects of the City’s Start-Up with PetData, and includes PetData’s data conversion from City system, creation of manuals/ reports, license renewal/billing forms, web pages, auto-attendant phone scripts and all database preparation. Their fees for processing animal licenses are as follows:
•For years 1-3 of the agreement, $4.30 for a one-year license or replacement tag •For years 4-5 of the agreement, $4.40 for a one-year license or replacement tag •A fee of $2.00 for each additional year after the first year for each multi-year license
•A collection service fee of $2.50 for each late fee collected during the term of the agreement
If a pet owner chooses to license online, PetData charges a convenience fee of $2.00 per transaction. Multiple pets may be licensed per transaction. Pet owners may mail their application or submit it in person at City Hall if they do not wish to pay the convenience fee.
The minimum annual contract payment would be $6,000 per calendar year. To process the City’s 13,000 active dog licenses, the estimated annual expenditure for one-year licenses is $55,900. These fees would be deducted from the license revenue collected

by PetData on behalf of the City. The annual expenditure will fluctuate depending on the number of licenses processed. The City will receive estimated net revenues of $544,100 (Gross revenue $600,000 – Fees $55,900 = Net Revenue $544,100). The revenues collected will be deposited into the Finance/Management Services – Management & Support, Dog Licenses account (No. 01110002-51002) and funds are budgeted in the current fiscal year and will be budgeted in subsequent fiscal years in the Finance/Management Services – Treasury / Customer Services, Contract Services- Professional account (No. 01110130-62300).
The estimated fee of $55,900 is a new cost to the City. However, the workload for the City’s Information Technology department will decrease, as it will no longer need to maintain an antiquated custom-built system; and the City’s dog owners will receive a higher level of service.

EXHIBIT B - COMPENSATION TO CONTRACTOR
In consideration of the Services, CONTRACTOR shall be entitled to the following compensation:
A. Basic Fees.
CITY shall pay to CONTRACTOR the following fees for all animal licenses issued during the term of this Agreement, regardless of whether they are issued by CITY, CONTRACTOR, veterinarians, or any other persons:
1) $4.30 for each one-year license or replacement t ag and for the first year for each multi -year license (which amount is subject to adjustment as provided below). 2) $2.00 for each additional year after the first year for each multi-year license. 3) $2.50 collection service fee for each late fee, if any, paid by a Licensee during the term of this Agreement.
The fee provided for in clause 1), above, will be adjusted as follows during any of the following periods that fall within the term of this Agreement: (a) commencing on the third (3rd) annual anniversary of the Execution Date and continuing until the fifth (5th) annual anniversary of the Execution Date, the fee provided for in clause 1), above, will be $4.40; and (b) if the term of this Agreement is for more than five (5) years, then, commencing on the fifth
(5th) annual anniversary of the Execution Date and continuing on each annual anniversary of the Execution Date thereafter throughout the remaining term of this Agreement, the fee provided for in clause 1), as previously adjusted, will increase by an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the fee under clause 1) that is in effect immediately prior to the respective anniversary, and the fee, as so increased, will thereupon become the fee payable under clause 1) unless and until further adjusted in accordance with this clause (b).
An animal license will be considered “issued” for purposes of this Agreement regardless of the means, method, program, process, or agency used for the issuance or registration of the license, and whether or not a fee or other consideration is charged or received by the CITY for the license. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, an animal license that is donated or issued free of charge by the CITY or that is issued as part of a bundling of CITY services
or programs will be considered “issued” for purposes of this Agreement. Further, any animal license that is processed by CONTRACTOR for CITY during the term of this Agreement will be considered “issued” for purposes of this Agreement, whether or not the license was or is actually issued or delivered before, during, or after the term of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 6A, the parties agree that CONTRACTOR’s minimum aggregate fees under this Section A are $6,000.00 per calendar year. In order to assure the payment of such minimum aggregate annual fees to CONTRACTOR, the parties agree that if the aggregate fees payable to CONTRACTOR under this Section A for a calendar month would, but for the application of this sentence, be less than $500.00, then the aggregate fees payable to CONTRACTOR under this Section A for that calendar month will be $500.00. However, the foregoing minimum monthly amount will not be applicable if the aggregate fees paid to CONTRACTOR under this Section A have already equaled or exceeded, or in the opinion of CONTRACTOR are reasonably expected to otherwise equal or exceed, $6,000.00 for that calendar year. If the aggregate annual fees paid to CONTRACTOR under this Section A during any calendar year do not equal or exceed $6,000.00, then CITY shall pay an amount equal to the positive difference between (i) the amount previously paid to CONTRACTOR for that calendar year and (ii) $6,000.00, upon demand by CONTRACTOR. The $6,000.00 minimum annual amount shall be prorated for any partial calendar year during the term of this Agreement. No delay or failure on the part of CONTRACTOR in imposing or collecting the aforesaid monthly minimum amount shall affect CONTRACTOR’s right to receive the aforesaid minimum aggregate annual fees or to collect the aforesaid minimum aggregate monthly amount either then or in the future. CITY acknowledges that the aforesaid minimum fee amounts apply only to the fees payable to CONTRACTOR under this Section

TOPIC: Installment Sale Agreement for the Septic to Sewer Island Project
AGENDA TITLE
Adopt a Resolution Approving the Construction Installment Sale Agreement with the California State Water Resources Control Board for Financing of the Septic to Sewer Island Project (Non-General Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution approving the Construction Installment Sale Agreement (D2201000) with the California State Water Resources Control Board for financing of the Septic to Sewer Island Project, in an amount up to $1,529,220.
DISCUSSION
On June 5, 2018, the City Council directed staff to initiate the process to annex the 17th Street and Tustin Avenue County of Orange Unincorporated Island (Island).
The Public Works Agency’s Water Resources Division currently provides sanitary sewer service to some of the parcels within the Island, but many of the parcels are on septic systems. In an effort to find cost-effective solutions to expand the sewer system to serve the parcels with septic systems in the Island, the Water Resources Division has sought funding mechanisms such as the California State Water Resources Control Board’s (Water Board) Clean Water State Revolving Fund (SRF) (Exhibit 1). The SRF provides low-cost, flexible financing to water utilities to implement projects that protect California’s water resources. Approval of the agreement (Exhibit 2) will allow the City to complete the Project in a timely and cost-effective manner.
Total project costs are estimated at $1,529,220. Staff has requested a principal loan amount for the full project cost, which according the Payment Schedule (Exhibit E in Exhibit 2), will be paid back over at a 2.6 percent annual interest rate over 30 years and at a cost of $671,079.54.
FISCAL IMPACT
Principal and interest payments are due annually beginning July 20, 2025. Funds for debt servicing in fiscal years FY25-26 through FY54-55 will be included in the proposed budgets for City Council consideration. Debt servicing will be recorded in the Sanitary

C.4.3 Federal Requirements and Cross-Cutters for SRF Funding.
The Recipient acknowledges, warrants compliance with, and covenants to continuing compliance with the following federal terms and conditions for the Useful Life of the Project:
i. Unless the Recipient has obtained a waiver from USEPA on file with the State Water Board or unless this Project is not a project for the construction, alteration, maintenance or repair of a public water system or treatment work, the Recipient shall not purchase “iron and steel products” produced outside of the United States on this Project. Unless the Recipient has obtained a waiver from USEPA on file with the State Water Board or unless this Project is not a project for the construction, alteration, maintenance or repair of a public water system or treatment work, the Recipient hereby certifies that all “iron and steel products” used in the Project were or will be produced in the United States. For purposes of this section, the term "iron and steel products" means the following products made primarily of iron or steel: lined or unlined pipes and fittings, manhole covers and other municipal castings, hydrants, tanks, flanges, pipe clamps and restraints, valves, structural steel, reinforced precast concrete, and construction materials. “Steel” means an alloy that includes at least 50 percent iron, between .02 and 2 percent carbon, and may include other elements.
ii. The Recipient acknowledges that funds received under this Agreement are subject to the Build America Buy America (BABA) requirements of Public Law 117-58 (the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), signed into law on November 15, 2021), which are in addition to “iron and steel products” requirements described in section C.4.3 (i) above. Specifically, unless (1) the Recipient has requested and obtained a waiver from USEPA on file with the State Water Board pertaining to the Project or the Project is otherwise covered by a general applicability waiver, as confirmed in writing by the State Water Board; or (2) the State Water Board and, to the extent the Project is co-funded by any other agency using federal funds subject to BABA requirements, each such agency, has advised the Recipient in writing that the BABA requirements are not applicable to the Project, the Recipient shall ensure and certifies that, as these terms are defined within and made applicable by Public Law 117-58:
(a) all iron and steel used in the Project are produced in the United States; (b) the manufactured products used in the Project are produced in the United States; and (c) the construction materials used in the Project are produced in the United States.
The Recipient must comply and require its contractors and subcontractors to comply with all applicable BABA requirements and reporting and must inform the State Water Board immediately of any information regarding a violation of the foregoing.
Based on representations made by the Recipient and corresponding evidence on file with the State Water Board, the Project qualifies for the “Adjustment Period Waiver of Section 70914(a) of P.L. 117-58, Build America, Buy America Act, 2021 for SRF Projects that have Initiated Design Planning”, found at EPA - SRF - Final Waiver - Adjustment Period_September 2022 - Signed.pdf. This waiver applies to projects that have initiated project design planning prior to May 14, 2022, the statutory effective date of the BABA requirements, and permits the use of non- domestic manufactured products and construction materials that would otherwise be prohibited

under the BABA requirements. This program waiver does not waive the iron and steel requirements under BABA. Sections 70917(a) and (b) of BIL provide a savings provision for existing statutory requirements that meet or exceed BABA requirements, such as the “iron and steel products” requirements applicable to SRF funded projects referenced in section C.4.3 (i) above, which will continue to apply as part of BABA requirements.”
iii. The Recipient must comply with the signage requirements set forth in Exhibit A.
