body
BACKGROUND
The County of Napa has provided animal control services to the City of American Canyon since 1996. The Sheriff’s Office assumed field operational duties in 1998. Animal Service Officers are responsible for impounding animals found to be in violation of county ordinances, investigating animal bites, acts of cruelty against animals and assisting sick, injured, or stray animals. Funding from the City of American Canyon covers one animal services officer, 7 days a week, during business hours and one officer on call for emergencies, holidays, and all other times.
Amendment No. 8 to Agreement No. 170919B meets the expectations of both parties and provides cost certainty for three years. During the term of this agreement, July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2027, the total cost for animal services as set forth in the amendment is as follows: FY 2024-2025: $64,565; FY 2025-2026: $66,824; and FY 2026-2027: $69,163. This amendment was approved by the City of American Canyon on May 21, 2024.
Requested Action
