BACKGROUND
The Police Department administers the contract for Humane/Animal Control services for the city.
Azusa belongs to a Joint Powers Authority comprised of five cities which have formed the JPA:
Azusa, Monrovia, Monterey Park, San Gabriel, and Temple City. Azusa’s current City Council
representative to the JPA’s Executive Committee is Councilmember Dave Hardison. When Mr.
Hardison is unavailable, Captain Bob Garcia represents the city at official meetings. The day-to-day
operations of the JPA are carried out by the Administrative Committee which is comprised of staff
personnel from each of the member cities along with the JPA’s Executive Director, Mr. Michael
Burns.
The current agreement between the JPA and the San Gabriel Valley Humane Society will expire at the
end of this F/Y. A new agreement has been successfully negotiated between the Humane Society
and the JPA and is presented tonight for final approval. The other four member cities of the JPA
have indicated they intend to approve the new agreement.
This agreement has been reviewed by Azusa’s City Attorney, Ms. Sonia Carvalho, and signed off as to
form and content. Mr. John Coleman, the San Gabriel Valley Humane Society’s Executive Director
has also signed the agreement.

three years. The additional three years must be negotiated and any increases will be tied to the
