EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City entered into a Professional Services Agreement with Redwood Veterinary Clinic to provide veterinary services for the Police Department’s K-9 program. The proposed Second Amendment will increase compensation by $50,000, for a total contract amount not to exceed $145,000, and extend the term through June 30, 2029 to allow for the continued provision of veterinary services.
GOAL
The Police Department currently maintains a K-9 program for detection of narcotics and guns. This item relates to Council Goal #4 - Foster a Safe, Healthy, and Inclusive Community and supports the health and well-being of the Police Department's K-9s.
BACKGROUND/PRIOR COUNCIL REVIEW
In June 2018, the Police Department entered into a Professional Services Agreement with Redwood Veterinary Clinic to provide veterinary services for the Police Department's K-9 program. In June 2022, the City approved the First Amendment to update the scope of services, increase compensation, and extend the term. The proposed Second Amendment would further update the scope of services, increase compensation, and extend the term through June 30, 2029.
ANALYSIS
The City requires veterinary services for the Police Department's K-9 unit, including routine examinations, emergency care, surgical services, medications, food, and other veterinary support necessary to maintain the health and operational readiness of the Department's K-9s. The proposed amendment increases compensation by $50,000 and extends the agreement term through June 30, 2029.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for these services will be included in future Police Department operating budgets through Fiscal Year 2028-29.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378, the recommended action is not a “project” subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it does not have a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. In the alternative, the recommended action is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the recommended action may have a significant effect on the environment.
