BACKGROUND The East County Animal Shelter opened in 1995. Prior to opening the shelter, the owners circulated a request for proposal to identify an entity to operate and maintain the shelter. As a result, in 1995, the owners entered into the original Memorandum of Understanding with the Sheriff's Office for this service. Shelter operations are monitored by the Shelter Operations Advisory Committee which consists of one representative from each of the cities and Alameda County. The Committee meets on a quarterly basis with the staff from the Sheriff's Office responsible for shelter operations. The costs of operating the East County Animal Shelter include building maintenance, supplies, professional veterinary services and salaries and benefits. These costs are allocated among the agencies by a percentage based upon the live animal count in the shelter on December 31 of each year. Pleasanton has been allocated 12.16% of the overall costs to maintain and operate the shelter for FY 2019-20. The agencies also pay annual debt service on the building. DISCUSSION The current Memorandum of Understanding expires on June 30, 2019. The attached agreement represents the second Amendment to extend the term of the Memorandum of Understanding for the two year period from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2021. The current agreement has been negotiated by the Alameda County Sheriff's Office and representatives of the Shelter Operations Advisory Committee. The Cities of Livermore and Dublin have already recommended the amendment for approval. Following the cities' approval of the Second Amendment to Memorandum of Understanding, the document will be presented to the Alameda County Board of Supervisors for their approval.
