METHODOLOGY FOR DETERMINING COST ALLOCATIONS. <br /> <br /> 1. PARTICIPATING ENTITLES shall share in the cost of personnel, maintenance <br /> services and the supplies required to operate the shelter in accordance with this M.O.U. <br /> Payment shall be based on PARTICIPATING ENTITIES' percentage share of the total <br /> number of live animals handled at SHELTER during the previous calendar year ending <br /> December 31 in accordance with the methodology shown in Attachment A. For example, <br /> the FY 2005-2006 (July 1 - June 30) percentage share shall be calculated based upon the <br /> 2004 calendar year Live Animals Handled report outlined in Attachment B. <br /> <br /> 2. OPERATOR shall prepare and distribute an annual Live Animals Handled report, as <br /> specified in Attachment B, no later than March 31 of each year, which indicates the total <br /> number of live animals handled in the previous calendar year and the associated percentage <br /> share for PARTICIPATING ENTITIES. <br /> <br /> 3. In the event SHELTER is used to provide emergency or non-emergency animal <br /> shelter services to agencies other than PARTICIPATING ENTITIES, including <br /> unincorporated areas of Alameda County currently serviced from the Fairmont Animal <br /> Shelter, OPERATOR shall establish a cost for the service and bill the non-participating <br /> agency for the service, unless the COMMITTEE agrees to waive such costs. <br /> <br /> 4. In the event a Participating Entity withdraws from this M.O.U., the remaining <br /> Participating Entities shall meet to determine the most appropriate methodology for sharing <br /> costs.

OPERATOR shall track and <br /> provide COMMITTEE with an annual report detailing the hours and positions used for <br /> backfilling. Any proposed significant changes in SHELTER operations, including but not <br /> limited to, the number of personnel assigned, shall be clearly identified with a narrative <br /> explanation, which includes information supporting the revision. <br /> <br /> 2. COMMITTEE shall take action to either approve or reject the proposed budget. If <br /> approved by COMMITTEE, PARTICIPATING ENTITIES shall adopt the budget and shall <br /> inform OPERATOR in writing that the entity has allocated its apportioned share of funds for <br /> services, no later than June 30.
