Specter ~ TO: SUBJECT: Animal Services Budget / Revised Fee Schedule At last week's budget hearing, we presented three options for the Board to consider for funding the additional $3,372 requested by the Department but not included in the budget manager's recommendation. The three options were: 1) Cut staffing ITom the requested level; 2) Raise fees, permit and fines by an additional 7.7%; and 3) increase the County's contribution by $3,372. The Department's primary recommendation continues to be option #3, since funding at this level would still be approximately $3,000 below the 1996 contribution while at the same time improving support staffing and fully funding all projected costs of emergency response. We believe that not funding this request would send the wrong message to all county departments that might be considering enhancements to services while at the same time reducing support from tax dollars. Our second option would be raising fees. The attached schedule shows the affect of increasing fees, permit and fine amounts by the recommended 7.7%. The revised amounts are rounded to the nearest dollar, consistent with the recommended methodology for annual index increases. Although the Department would prefer not to raise fees above the original recommended amounts, the additional 7.7% should not create undue hardship or barriers to licensing and adoptions that could be counterproductive to the goals of Animal Services. Based on our projections, this funding option should generate the necessary $3,372 in additional funding. cc.
