CA.A Page 4 of 125
cost of developing a software interface to support the new Valley Com
Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) system. With the new CAD system
being brought online in late 2013, each of the Cities will need an
Interface to facilitate the automated retrieval of incident data from the
CAD system into their respective Police Records Management
system. The Interface is not included as part of the CAD project and
will need to be developed separately. The agreement is between the
four Cities (Federal Way, Des Moines, Black Diamond and Auburn)
that use Spillman Police Records Management to share the cost of
developing the Interface. Federal Way will take the lead. Committee
discussion followed.
Vice Chair Osborne moved to forward as amended to full Council for
consideration. Member Wales seconded. Chair Peloza concurred.
MOTION PASSED: 3-0
IV. DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. Financial Options Available to the City (Coleman)
Finance Director Shelley Coleman presented information that her staff
prepared on financial options available to the City. A summary of
remaining sources of City revenues with a detail description provided
for each item were provided. Revenue sources discussed include the
following: the City's remaining debt capacity (City may issue up to
7.5% of its annual assessed value in three ways); Public Utility tax
(City currently assesses a 7.0% tax with the last increase being two
years ago); Cable TV Utility tax (City currently assesses a 1.0% utility
tax); General B&O taxes (CIty is authorized to levy a business and
occupation tax of up to .2% on the gross income or gross
receipts); Regulatory License Fees (Business License fees and/or a
revenue generating regulatory license fee); a Metropolitan Parks
District (MPD) and Transportation Benefit District (TBD). Committee
discussion followed.
B. Auburn Golf Course Financial Review (Coleman)
Parks, Arts and Recreation Director Daryl Faber and Finance Director
Shelley Coleman presented a financial update on the Auburn Golf
Course. For the third quarter 2012 green fees were down in July and
August but significantly increased in September due to great weather.
Rounds played were better than projected in August and September.
Again, based on weather cart rentals and pro shop sales were lower
than anticipated in July and August but were up in September.
Overall, revenues in Washington state are down four percent (4%) but
Auburn is doing better than the region as we are up by one percent
(1%). The plan for next year is to maintain the 2012 green fees but
decrease the amount of discounting that's currently being offered. Page 2 of 5
CA.A Page 5 of 125
Daryl will provide information on the high school teams at the next
committee meeting. Committee discussion followed.
C. 2013-2014 Solid Waste Rates (Coleman)
Finance Director Shelley Coleman and Joan Nelson, Solid Waste and
Recycling Supervisor, provided the committee with information on their
recent Solid Waste Utility rate study. The objective of the study is to
ensure that the City's Solid Waste Utility is self-sufficient. King County
has increased the tipping fees from $109 per ton to $120.17 per ton for
2013 and the City looks at this as a two year window as that is how
long the tipping fees are in effect. In the 2011 the residential subsidy
was $320,000 and the goal is to decrease this to $250,000 in 2013.
The subsidy in 2013 will actually be $370,000 as we have added
approximately 4,000 residents and only about 20 commercial
customers. Staff recommends the following to get to what
the Committee is requesting based on a $250,000 subsidy: for 2013 a
9% increase to residential customers and 3.8% to commercial
customers, and in 2014 a 5.5% increase for residential and 4.7% for
commercial. Per Chair Peloza's request, information on the Kirkland
direct billing plan will be provided at a future committee meeting.
D. Resolution No. 4872 - Medicine Return Program (Coleman)
Solid Waste and Recycling Supervisor Joan Nelson presented on King
County's proposed Medicine Return Program. Statewide legislation
for a medicine take back program has been unsuccessful so the King
County Board of Health is now considering this program which would
be funded by pharmaceutical manufacturers. The program would help
reduce the public safety and environmental impacts of unwanted
medicine. Committee discussion followed with the Committee stating
their support for Resolution No. 4872.
E. Animal Control Licensing Program Update (Hursh)
Planning and Development Director Kevin Snyder and Michael Hursh,
Advisor to the Mayor, provided the Committee with an update on the
Animal Control Licensing Program. The new Public Affairs and
Marketing Manager, Glenda Carino, has started her position with the
City. Kevin, Michael and Glenda are currently working on revamping
the marketing plan. Since the PetData contract transition is underway
there is a variety of literature marketing the upcoming changes that will
occur in the next sixty (60) days. Marketing includes social media and
a postcard mailing. Member Wales commented that the Auburn Valley
Humane Society is completely committed to making this program work
in our City. Committee discussion followed.
F. Resolution No. 4852 - Conservation Grant Agreement (Snyder/Burke)
Page 3 of 5
CA.A Page 6 of 125
Project and Construction Manager Steve Burke reviewed the proposed
Conservation Grant Agreement between the City of Auburn and Puget
Sound Energy for energy conservation measures at the Auburn
Justice Center with the Committee. The Facilities division has
undertaken a heating, ventilation and air cooling (HVAC) upgrade
project at the Justice Center. This project is part of the continuing
energy conservation efforts to reduce electric, gas and other resource
consumption throughout all city building, facilites and infrastructure.
The project was undertaken with an energy savings guarantee
provided by the contractor and is eligible for a Puget Sound Energy
Conservation Grant in the amount of $35,860. Committee discussion
followed.
G. Redlight Photo Enforcement Update (Lee)
Assistant Chief of Police Bill Pierson provided an update on the
Redlight Photo Enforcement. The Auburn PhotoSafe program has not
changed much in the last quarter and it continues to have a positive
impact on public safety. The number of violations at photo enforced
intersections and school zones has been reduced. Committee
discussion followed. The Committee requested information to review
on the RedLight Contract at their November 26, 2012 regular meeting.

SECURE, CONVENIENT MEDICINE RETURN PROGRAM
IN KING COUNTY TO REDUCE THE PUBLIC SAFETY
AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF UNWANTED
MEDICINE
WHEREAS, drug overdose deaths, abuse of prescription pain killers, and
abuse of medicines by young people is a growing problem, and more people die of
prescription medicines than all illegal drugs combined; and
WHEREAS, medicines used in the home are the leading cause of poisonings
reported to the Washington Poison Center, and preventable poisonings from
medicines have been rising rapidly, especially among children and seniors; and
WHEREAS, unwanted medicines left in the home contribute to opportunities
for drug abuse, drug theft, and accidental poisonings; and
WHEREAS, most medicines, when discarded, are categorized as dangerous
waste under the Washington State Dangerous Waste regulations (Chapter 173-303
WAC); or hazardous waste under the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act (RCRA) (42 USC 6901), or both; and
WHEREAS, medicines disposed of by flushing into sewers are not completely
treated or removed by sewage treatment facilities, or onsite sewage systems,
allowing pharmaceuticals to be released into the environment; and
WHEREAS, medicines disposed of in the garbage are not secure from theft, or
may eventually end up in landfill leachate which may be sent to sewage treatment
facilities, eventually allowing pharmaceuticals to be released into the environment;

National Drug Control Policy, the Food & Drug Administration, and the
Environmental Protection Agency recommend medicine return programs as a more
secure and environmentally safe disposal method than throwing pharmaceuticals in

take-back and use approved security protocols to prevent theft, but the county lacks
a comprehensive and convenient medicine take-back system; and

address the public safety impacts of leftover medicines in residents’ homes and the
environmental impacts of improper disposal of unwanted medicines; and

Auburn Golf Course and School District Golf Play Policy Discussion
Background: The City of Auburn and the Auburn School District have a long and
positive relationship of reciprocating Athletic Fields and Gymnasium/School space.
Presently, the only time the city is charged for an activity is when the activity requires an
additional cost such as Union Labor for Sound, Light or Custodial. (Performing Arts
Center & After School Program) The City has not charged the ASD for any additional
cost for park athletic fields or the Golf Course.
Current Situation: The Auburn Golf Course is the home to both Auburn and Auburn
MountainView Varsity/JV Boys and Girls golf teams.
17 players from Auburn High School, 26 players from MountianView
Try Outs Auburn High School (80 Rounds), Auburn MountianView (130 rounds)
Regular Season (Aug 20-October 20)
Number of Days Players Number of Rounds
AHS 27 days of 9 hole rounds 17 459
AMV 30 days of 9 hole rounds 26 780
JV District October 16th 13
Total of ASD Rounds 1,462
Junior rate is $18.00/18 holes: $12.00/9 holes
Total value of the Complementary Rounds $18,384
Value of Electric Cart for Coaches $900
Total $19,284
Options to Consider
1. Charge a flat fee per team
2. Charge a per round discounted rate (50% = $6 per round)
3. Charge a fee based on the size of team and a "not to exceed" Number of rounds
4. Continue the same procedure
Other Considerations
Only guaranteed tee times for match days
Require August try outs to begin at 6:00 a.m. on the back 9 so as not to conflict with high
revenue period (Maplewood)
Have ASD request a donation from Men’s Club and other Non-Profits to support Golf
program.

DATE: November 8, 2012
SUBJECT: INFORMATION & DISCUSSION: Revised Draft Ordinance No. 6424 – Amendments
to Title 6 (Animals) Pertaining to Animal Control and Animal Licenses
The City of Auburn will be taking over animal control and licensing services from King County
effective January 1, 2013. Pursuant to an Interlocal Agreement previously authorized by Council’s
adoption of Resolution No. 4602, the City currently contracts with King County for animal control
services. As required by that contract, the City adopted portions of Title 11 of the King County Code
related to Animal Control. Beginning in 2013, the City is no longer required to adopt King County’s
animal control code. While the Council could choose to continue to adopt the County’s Code, staff
believes it is more efficient and beneficial to revise existing portions of the City’s Code and adding,
where necessary, new language.
Staff from Police, City Attorney’s Office and Planning and Development presented for review and
discussion draft Ordinance No. 6424 to the Municipal Services Committee on October 8, 2012.
Staff also provided a copy of the draft Ordinance to Dr. Edwards, President of the Board for Auburn
Valley Humane Society (AVHS) prior to the October 8th meeting. Dr. Edwards also attended the
October 8th meeting. Draft Ordinance No. 6424 contains recommended changes to Title 6 (Animals)
of the Auburn City Code that address regulations, standards and procedures for animal control and
animal licensing by the City of Auburn. Subsequent to the October 8, 2012 Committee meeting,
staff worked to refine the draft Ordinance. The current draft Ordinance was produced on November
1, 2012 and made available to Dr. Edwards the same day. In addition, Kevin Snyder, Planning and
Development Director, presented to the AVHS Board on the evening of November 1st on the draft
Ordinance and other issues.
To date, staff has not received any direct or indirect feedback or input from AVHS regarding the
proposed amendments to Title 6.
Staff from Police, City Attorney’s Office and Planning and Development will be in attendance at the
Committee’s November 13th meeting to discuss and answer questions regarding the proposed
amendments to Title 6. The following summary of key changes was originally provided in the cover
memo for the October 8, 2012 Municipal Services Committee meeting: DI.D Page 81 of 125

objective and identifiable reasons that the enclosure is not adequate or proper,

redeemed. The notifying of any person over the age of 18 who resides at the
owner’s domicile or mailing the notice to the address given to the City at the time
the animal was licensed shall constitute actual notice to the owner. If the owner
of said animal so impounded is unknown, then the Animal Control officer or
shelter shall make a reasonable effort to locate and notify the owner of the
animal.

licensed veterinarian. In all cases, the veterinarian fees shall be paid at the time
of redemption by the animal’s owner.
B. Exceptions. The alteration shall not be required upon a showing of
proof of alteration from a licensed veterinarian. The alteration shall not be
required if the owner or other person redeeming the animal provides a written
statement from a licensed veterinarian stating that the spay or neuter procedure
would be harmful to the animal.
6.01.110 Mandatory spay/neuter for adopted dogs and cats – exception.
A. No unaltered dog or cat that is otherwise eligible to be adopted
from the shelter may be adopted by any person unless the animal is spayed or
neutered. In all cases, the veterinarian fees shall be paid by the prospective
owner. Any adopted, unaltered dog or cat shall be subject to impoundment.
B. Exceptions. The alteration shall not be required upon a showing of
proof of alteration from a licensed veterinarian. The alteration shall not be
required if the owner or other person adopting the animal provides a written
statement from a licensed veterinarian stating that the spay or neuter procedure
would be harmful to the animal.
6.01.120 Conditions of release.
The animal control authority may refuse to release to its owner any animal
that has been impounded more than once in a 12-month period unless the owner
demonstrates that he or she has taken steps to reasonably ensure that the
violation will not occur again. The shelter or the animal control authority may
impose reasonable conditions that must be satisfied by the owner before release
of the animal, including conditions assuring that the animal will be confined.
Failure to comply with the conditions of release is a violation.
Any animal suffering from serious injury or disease may be humanely
euthanized by the shelter or City; provided, that the shelter or City shall
immediately notify the owner if the owner is known. The shelter and City have no
obligation to determine the owner of such animal if the animal is not wearing a
license or other identification or is not microchipped.

Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, Bull Terrier, Cane Corso, Dogo
Argentino, Dogue de Bordeaux, Kuvasz, Pit Bull Terrier, Presa Canario,

Staffordshire Bull Terrier or Tosa Inu, as to be identifiably of or partially of such
breed(s), or dogs that have an appearance and physical characteristics that are
substantially similar to dogs referred to above.
B. “Dangerous dog” means any dog that has been declared to be a
dangerous dog pursuant to the provisions of this chapter, or has been declared
to be a dangerous dog pursuant to applicable code provisions by any other
jurisdiction, by reason of the fact that the dog:
1. Killed or inflicted severe injury on a human being without
provocation on public or private property;
2. Killed or inflicted severe injury on a domestic animal without
provocation while the dog was off the owner’s property;
3. Has been previously found to be potentially dangerous because of
injury inflicted on a human, the owner having received notice of such, and the
dog again aggressively bites, attacks, or endangers the safety of humans;
4. Is a potentially dangerous dog, as defined in this chapter, that has
been permitted or allowed to run free and unrestrained off the property of its
owner;
5. Is a potentially dangerous dog, as defined in this chapter, that has
harassed, tormented or caused concern for the safety of persons or domestic
animals; or
6. Has, since the effective date of the ordinance codified in this
chapter, demonstrated a propensity, tendency, or disposition to attack
unprovoked, to cause injury, or otherwise to threaten the safety of humans or
domestic animals.
It is provided, however, that a dog shall not be declared dangerous if the
basis for such declaration was a threat, injury, or damage that was sustained by
a person who, at the time, was committing a willful trespass or other tort upon the
premises occupied by the owner of the dog, or was tormenting, abusing, or
assaulting the dog or has, in the past, been observed or reported to have
tormented, abused, or assaulted the dog or was committing or attempting to
commit a crime.
It is further provided that a dog shall not be declared dangerous if the
owner of the dog can show that since the incident or action giving rise to the
declaration, the owner has enrolled in and completed the American Kennel
Club’s Canine Good Citizen® (CGC) Program, or a comparable course or
program addressing dog ownership responsibilities offered by a similarly
recognized entity, which alternate course or program and/or entity shall be
approved by the city. However, this proviso (this opportunity to avoid a
dangerous dog declaration) shall not apply where the basis for the declaration
DI.D Page 107 of 125
------------------------------
Ordinance No. 6424
October 23, 2012November 1, 2012
Page 26 of 33
was that the dog killed or inflicted severe injury on a human being without
provocation on public or private property, as set forth in subsection (B)(1) of this
section, or has killed or inflicted severe injury on a domestic animal without
provocation while the dog was off the owner’s property, as set forth in subsection
(B)(2) of this section, or has been previously found to be potentially dangerous
because of injury inflicted on a human, the owner having received notice of such,
and the dog again aggressively bites, attacks, or endangers the safety of
humans, as set forth in subsection (B)(3) of this section. This proviso shall also
not apply to instances where a dangerous dog declaration has been previously
avoided because such training was given to the same owner for this or any other
dog, or to any other person involving this same dog.
It is further provided that for the purposes of subsection (B)(4) of this
section, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that a dog has been permitted or
allowed to run free if the dog has been previously found running free and
unrestrained off the property of its owner. This presumption may be rebutted by a
showing that, since the effective date of the ordinance codified in this section, the
dog has not previously been found running free and unrestrained off the property
of its owner, and the owner has taken reasonable steps to prevent the dog from
running free and unrestrained off the property of its owner.
C. “Severe injury” means any physical injury that results in broken
bones or disfiguring lacerations requiring multiple sutures or cosmetic surgery.
D. “Proper enclosure of a dangerous dog” means, while on the
owner’s property, a dangerous dog shall be securely confined indoors or in a
securely enclosed and locked pen or structure, suitable to prevent the entry of
young children and designed to prevent the animal from escaping. Such pen or
structure shall have secure sides and a secure top, shall also provide protection
from the elements for the dog, and shall either have a concrete floor or shall have
secure fencing material buried not less than one foot below the surface.
Additionally, the animal control authority, as defined herein, may determine,
based on objective and identifiable reasons, that the enclosure is not adequate or
proper, in which case the animal control authority shall communicate in writing to
the owner of the dangerous dog the deficiencies in the enclosure and the
objective and identifiable reasons that the enclosure is not adequate or proper,
and the owner shall correct the deficiencies identified by the animal control officer
before the enclosure shall constitute a proper enclosure. The owner of the
dangerous dog may appeal the animal control authority’s determination that the
enclosure is not adequate or proper, which appeal shall be filed in writing not
more than ten days from the date the animal control authority communicates
his/her determination that the enclosure is not adequate or proper, and which
appeal shall be heard by the police chief or designee. The police chief or
designee shall decide the appeal based on (1) whether the objective and
identifiable reasons which were the basis of the animal control authority’s
determination have been shown, and (2) whether they reasonably support the
decision that the enclosure is not adequate or proper. It is provided, however,
that regardless of the materials used, or type and description of the enclosure,
DI.D Page 108 of 125
------------------------------
Ordinance No. 6424
October 23, 2012November 1, 2012
Page 27 of 33
and regardless of the correction of any identified deficiencies, if the dangerous
dog escapes from the enclosure, that escape shall constitute prima facie
evidence that the enclosure was not a proper enclosure, and shall constitute
prima facie evidence, as well, that the dog owner is not in compliance with the
requirements of this chapter.
E. “Animal control authority” means the persons and entities
responsible for enforcement of the animal control laws of the city, or such person
as is designated by the mayor, whether acting alone or in concert with other
responsible persons and/or local governmental units.
F. “Animal control officer” means any individual employed, contracted
with, or appointed by the animal control authority for the purpose of aiding in the
enforcement of this chapter or any other law or ordinance relating to the licensure
of animals, control of animals, or seizure and impoundment of animals, and
includes any state or local law enforcement officer or other employee whose
duties in whole or in part include assignments that involve the seizure and
impoundment of any animal.
G. “Owner” means any person, firm, corporation, organization, or
department possessing, harboring, keeping, having an interest in, or having
control or custody of an animal. (Ord. 6244 § 1, 2009; Ord. 5996 § 1, 2006; Ord.
5829 § 1, 2004.)

C. Prior to the authority issuing its final determination, the authority
shall notify the owner in writing that he or she is entitled to an opportunity to meet
with the authority, at which meeting the owner may give, orally or in writing, any
reasons or information as to why the dog should not be declared dangerous,
including the owner’s compliance with the AKC’s CGC program, or comparable
course or program provisions as provided herein, if applicable. The owner may

Page 28 of 33
also request a reasonable delay before the final determination is made if the
owner has already enrolled in the AKC’s CGC program, or comparable course or

authority.
D. The owner may appeal the authority’s final determination that the
dog is dangerous to the city’s hearing examiner, which appeal shall be in
accordance with the provisions herein and pursuant to the procedures of the city
code. Any such appeal by the owner shall be perfected by filing a written notice
of such appeal with the city clerk within 15 days of the date the owner received
the final determination if the order was delivered in person, or within 20 days of
the date the order was mailed to the owner, by filing a written notice of appeal
with the city clerk. While the appeal is pending, the authority may order that the
dog be confined or controlled in compliance with ACC 6.35.030 and/or RCW
16.08.090. If the dog is determined to be dangerous, the owner must pay all
costs of confinement and control.
E. It is unlawful for an owner to have a dangerous dog in the city
without a certificate of registration issued pursuant to this section. This section
and ACC 6.35.030 and 6.35.040 shall not apply to police dogs as defined in ACC
6.32.030 and/or RCW 4.24.410.
F. The animal control authority shall issue a certificate of registration
to the owner of a dog deemed to be a dangerous dog if the owner presents to the
animal control unit sufficient evidence of:
1. A proper enclosure to confine a dangerous dog, as such enclosure
is defined and described in ACC 6.35.010(D)6.01.010(A)(28), and the posting of
the premises with a clearly visible warning sign that there is a dangerous dog on
the property. In addition, the owner shall conspicuously display a sign with a

3. A policy of liability insurance, such as homeowner’s insurance,
issued by an insurer qualified under RCW Title 48 in the amount of at least
$250,000, insuring the owner for any personal injuries inflicted by the dangerous
dog, or such liability insurance that otherwise meets the requirements of RCW

G. Any dog which is declared to be a “dangerous dog” pursuant to this
chapter or Chapter 16.08 RCW shall also be required to be microchipped by a
veterinarian of the owner’s choice, at the owner’s expense. This shall be in
addition to the other requirements of this chapter and in addition to the applicable
requirements for licensing as defined within this title, and this procedure must be
accomplished within 30 days after the owner’s receipt of the dangerous dog
declaration issued pursuant to this chapter or Chapter 16.08 RCW.
H. In addition to regular dog licensing fees, the owner of a dangerous
dog shall pay to the city a dangerous dog registration fee in the amount of
$500.00 per year for the dangerous dog registration, and shall comply with the
city’s dangerous dog registration procedures, including providing the city with a

dog’s coloring and body shape. (Ord. 6244 § 2, 2009; Ord. 5996 § 1, 2006; Ord.
5829 § 1, 2004.)

A. It is unlawful for an owner of a dangerous dog to permit the dog to
be outside the proper enclosure, as defined and described in ACC 6.35.010(D)

vision or respiration but shall prevent it from biting any person or animal.
B. It is unlawful for an owner of a potentially dangerous dog to permit
the dog to be allowed or permitted to run free and unrestrained or off leash or not
otherwise under physical restraint of a responsible person, unless within a fenced

enclosure area shall comply with all applicable city codes.
C. It is unlawful for an owner of a dangerous dog or a potentially
dangerous dog to permit the dog to be walked outside the proper enclosure by
anyone under the age of 16 years.

responsible for taking all reasonable measures to assure that the dogs do not
escape the above restraints, the failure of which responsibility shall constitute a
violation of this chapter, punishable pursuant to ACC 6.35.040. The failure of the
owner of a dangerous dog to comply with the requirements for dangerous dog
registration shall also constitute a violation of this chapter, punishable pursuant to
ACC 6.35.040. (Ord. 6304 § 1, 2010; Ord. 6244 § 3, 2009; Ord. 5996 § 1, 2006;

DATE: November 8, 2012
SUBJECT: INFORMATION & DISCUSSION: Resolution No. 4868 – Modification to City of
Auburn Master Fee Schedule for Animal License Fees
The City of Auburn will be taking over animal control and licensing services from King County
effective January 1, 2013. Staff is recommending the establishment and implementation of animal
license fees to provide a revenue source for animal sheltering services relative to the City’s
Agreement with the Auburn Valley Humane Society (AVHS). Resolution No. 4868 proposes new
animal license fees for inclusion in the City’s Master Fee Schedule. Staff is seeking City Council
approval of these fees by the end of November 2012 in order to allow staff and the City’s contracted
animal services provider adequate time to complete program start up efforts. The actual effective date
of the fees would not be until January 1, 2013; however, Council’s approval of Resolution No. 4868 in
November 2012 would provide staff and the City’s contracted animal licensing services provider with
certainty on the fees to be charged.
At the Committee’s October 8, 2012 meeting, staff presented proposed animal license fees contained
in draft Resolution No. 4868 (see attached). At that time, staff recommended fees similar to King
County, except for a $5.00 increase over current fees charged by King County for juvenile animal
licenses, altered animal licenses and unaltered animal licenses - senior license fee, the disabled
license fee, service animal no charge fee and the replacement tag fee were not and are not proposed
to change. Staff believes the slight increase in these fees is justified because of the benefits resulting
from enhanced customer service delivery from the City and the presence of an animal shelter facility
in the City of Auburn. The slight increase in fees will allow the City to address the costs of these direct
benefits, particularly the provision of animal shelter services by the Auburn Valley Humane Society.
The proposed late fee penalties are consistent with the current penalties implemented by King County
and will act as an incentive for pet owners to license their animals. Staff also provided a copy of the
draft Resolution to Dr. Edwards, President of the Board for Auburn Valley Humane Society (AVHS)
prior to the October 8th meeting.
The contract with PetData, Inc. for the provision of animal licensing services includes a $3.90
transaction fee per license issued. At the October 8, 2012 meeting, staff and the Committee
discussed the issue of gross versus net licensing fees as it relates to the City’s contract with the
Auburn Valley Human Society. The City’s intent is to only deduct the $3.90 transaction fee from the
gross licensing revenue – no other administrative or operational charges incurred by the City would DI.E Page 117 of 125

be applied to the gross licensing revenues, but would rather be paid for by the General Fund. On
October 26, 2012, Kevin Snyder, Planning and Development Director, transmitted to Dr. Don
Edwards, a draft Memorandum of Agreement (see attached) that memorialized the City’s intent to
provide AVHS and the City with a level of certainty that the majority of licensing revenues received by
the City would be transmitted to AVHS consistent with the executed Agreement between the two
parties. Kevin Snyder also presented to the AVHS Board on the evening of November 1st on the draft
Resolution and other issues.
The most current version of draft Resolution No. 4868 has been revised to reduce the $5.00 increase
previously proposed for juvenile animal licenses, altered animal licenses and unaltered animal
licenses to a $4.00 increase to reflect the gross versus net intent described above while still providing
the City with a reasonable level of revenue to meet its contractual commitment to AVHS.
To date, staff has not received any direct or indirect feedback or input from AVHS regarding the draft
fees contained in Resolution No. 4868.
Staff is presenting this information for Committee discussion. However, it would be beneficial for staff
and the proposed service provider if the animal licensing fees could be in effect by the end of
November 2012 to allow adequate time to complete program start-up efforts. Therefore, if the
Committee is supportive of the Resolution as presented or with modifications identified by the
Committee, staff would request that the Committee consider moving this item forward as an action
item and make a recommendation to the City Council to approve the Resolution. If the Committee
chooses to take action, staff will bring the Resolution to the Finance Committee for discussion and
City Council for adoption on November 19, 2012.
