E-13
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
VIA: SERGIO GONZALEZ, CITY MANAGER
FROM: ROCKY WENRICK, CHIEF OF POLICE
DATE: AUGUST 19, 2024
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF CITY-COUNTY MUNICIPAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH
COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES DEPARTMENT OF ANIMAL CARE AND CONTROL
BACKGROUND:
The County of Los Angeles currently provides contract services to the City of Azusa for a variety of
municipal operations, including Animal Care and Control. Managed through the Operations
Division of the Azusa Police Department, the contract for Animal Care and Control will continue to
provide Azusa residents with a full platform for animal management services, including access to a
primary animal care center, a field service plan, individual animal licensing and an outreach program.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends that the City Council take the following action:
1) Approve a Professional Service Agreement with the County of Los Angeles Department of Animal
Care and Control for a five-year agreement (July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2029) for an estimated amount
of $435,333.00 for Fiscal Year 2024-25.
2)Approve a budget amendment authorizing an additional allocation of $122,343.00 to the shortfall
between the current adopted budget for animal care and control for the FY2024-25, $312,990.00, to
the estimated amount of $435,333.00
3) Authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement, in a form acceptable to the City Attorney, on
behalf of the City.
Approved
City Council
August 19, 2024
ANALYSIS:
Since the beginning of Fiscal Year 2012-13, the Police Department has contracted the City’s Animal
Care and Control services through the County of Los Angeles. This followed a twenty-plus year
partnership the City ended with the San Gabriel Valley Humane Society in pursuit of a more cost-
efficient alternative. At this time, the current contract with the County of Los Angeles expired June 30,
2024.
For Fiscal Year 2024-25 the County of Los Angeles has proposed new rates for the cities currently
contracted with the County for Animal Care and Control Services.
In light of the County’s proposed cost increases, City Staff began to research more cost-effective options
for animal care and control services and contacted the Inland Valley Humane Society & SPCA
(“IVHS”) to discuss the opportunity to contract with their agency for animal management. Although the
IVHS was open to discuss the City’s request for information, the Agency declined to further consider
contracting with the City of Azusa for the upcoming Fiscal Year (2024-25). Staff will continue to
engage with IVHS over the next few months in an effort to be considered as a potential municipal partner
in the future.
For FY 2024-25, the primary option for animal management remains to be a continuation of
contract services with the County; as such the services provided would remain at their current levels and
continue to include animal care at the Baldwin Park (primary) Animal Care Center, field services,
individual animal licensing, animal facility inspection and licensing as well as the arrangement of
vaccination clinics within the City.
If the City desires to terminate its partnership with the County in advance of the conclusion of the five-
year term, the agreement provides a right of termination clause that the City may exercise. This remains
a viable option if the City discovers an opportunity to enter into a more cost-effective animal
management service arrangement in the near future.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds for the aforementioned services are budgeted in FY 2024-25 in the amount of $312,990,
General Fund Account No. 10 20 333 000 6410 and a budget amendment is being requested for an
additional $122,343 for an estimated annual amount of $435,333.00.

CITY-COUNTY MUNICIPAL SERVICES AGREEMENT
COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES DEPARTMENT OF ANIMAL CARE
AND CONTROL AND CITY OF AZUSA
THIS MUNICIPAL ANIMAL CARE AND CONTROL AGREEMENT (“Agreement”)
between the COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES (“the County”) and the CITY OF AZUSA (“the
City”), together known as “the Parties,” is made and entered into July 1, 2024, or when
signed by all Parties, whichever is later.
RECITALS
a. The City desires to contract with the County to perform the animal care and
control functions described in this Agreement; and
b. The County is agreeable to providing such services on the terms and conditions
set forth in this Agreement; and
c. Such agreements are authorized and provided for by the provisions of Section
56-1/2 and 56-3/4 of the Charter of the County of Los Angeles and sections
51300 et seq. of the Government Code of the State of California.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained in this
Agreement, and for good and valuable consideration, the Parties mutually agree as
follows:
1.0 AGREEMENT TO PROVIDE SERVICES UNDER STATE AND LOCAL
STATUTES
1.1 The County agrees, through the County Department of Animal Care and
Control (“the Department”), to provide general animal care and control
services within the corporate limits of the City to the extent and in the
manner stated in the Agreement and its Attachments.
1.2 Except as otherwise specifically stated in the Agreement, the services will
only encompass duties and functions of the type coming within the
jurisdiction of and customarily provided by the County under the Charter of
the County, the Los Angeles County Code, and the statutes of the State of
California. The County will provide services in accordance with the
provisions of Title 10, “Animals,” of the Los Angeles County Code, and all
amendments enacted to Title 10, except as otherwise agreed by the Parties
in the most recently executed Service Level Request.
Page 3 of 11
2.0 ADMINISTRATION OF PERSONNEL
2.1 The County will control all aspects of the services provided by the County
including, but not limited to, standards of performance, discipline of officers
and staff, and all employment-related matters.
2.2 In the event of a dispute between the Parties regarding the duties and
services to be provided, or the minimum level or manner of performance of
such services, the City will be consulted and an agreement between the
Parties attempted. Each party must employ good-faith and reasonable
efforts to reach an agreement. If an agreement cannot be reached, the
County will make the final and conclusive determination of the dispute .
2.3 All City employees who work with the Department under the Agreement will
remain employees of the City and will not have any claim or right to
employment, civil service protection, salary, benefits, or claims of any kind
from the County. No City employee will become an employee of the County
unless by specific additional agreement in the form of a merger contract ,
which must be concurrently adopted by the City and County. Except as
otherwise specifically set forth in the Agreement or in the attached Service
Level Request, to the extent the County provides the City with animal
licensing services, neither the City employees nor their agents will perform
any function related to the licensing of animals, including the collection of
license fees, penalties, or field enforcement fees. Field enforcement fees
will only be collected by the Department for services performed by
employees of the Department. The City may distribute educational and
outreach materials, reviewed and agreed upon by both the Department and
the City, related to pet licensing and its benefits.
2.4 For the purposes of performing services under the Agreement, and only for
the purpose of giving authority for Department staff to provide these
services, every County officer and/or employee engaged in performing any
service will be deemed to be a contracted officer or employee of the City
while performing service for the City, provided the service is within the
scope of the Agreement and is a municipal function.
2.5 The City will not assume any liability for the direct payment of salaries,
wages, or other compensation to County personnel performing services
under the Agreement. Except as described under Section 5.0, the City will
not be liable for compensation or indemnity to any County employee or
agent of the County for injury or sickness arising out of his/her employment
while providing services under the Agreement.
2.6 The County agrees that it is subject to the County Civil Services Rules
prohibiting discrimination based on non-merit factors.
Page 4 of 11
3.0 DEPLOYMENT OF PERSONNEL
3.1 The Department, in cooperation with the City, will determine how to provide
the services required by the Agreement.
3.2 The City agrees to complete an Attachment B, Service Level Request (SLR)
form, specifying the level of service to be provided, which will be signed and
authorized by the City and the Department representative and attached to
the Agreement. In the event of a dispute between the Parties about the
desired or approved content of the SLR will be handled in accordance with
Paragraph 2.2 of this Agreement.
3.3 The Department will issue annual notifications of any change to the billing
rate as stated in Paragraph 8.2 of this Agreement. Unless the City changes
other provisions within the most recently executed SLR, it is not necessary
to execute a revised SLR to reflect a billing rate change.
3.4 The City may at any time request a change in the level of service by
completing a revised SLR, and submitting the form to the Department. The
revised level of service to be provided and the current fiscal year billing rate
will be signed and authorized by the City and the Department representative
and attached to the Agreement as an amendment. Changes requested at
times other than the beginning of the fiscal year will be implemented as soon
as practical, as determined by the Department. The City is only required to
submit a new SLR if it wishes to revise its current services or update
information listed on its existing SLR. The Department reserves the right to
approve or disapprove requests on the SLR in accordance with Section 3.1
of this Agreement.
Regarding updates to contact information, the City is not obligated to submit
a new SLR. A simple email confirmation from the City will suffice, and the
Department's Contracts and Grants Division will update the City's existing
SLR and share the revised copy with the City.
3.5 The City will make its best effort to inform the Department of any
modifications to its ordinance concerning animal care and control services.
This approach will enable the Department to verify that the services outlined
in the City's SLR align with the municipal ordinance, thereby reducing the
potential for any discrepancies.
3.6 The City is not limited to the services indicated but may also request any
other services in the field of public safety, animal welfare, or related fields
within the legal power of the Director of the Department to provide. The
County reserves the right to determine, in its sole discretion, whether the
Department can provide requested services not otherwise specified in this
Agreement.

4.0 PERFORMANCE OF CONTRACT
4.1 In performing services under the Agreement, the County will provide all
necessary labor, supervision, equipment, communication facilities, and
supplies necessary to maintain the agreed upon level of service.
4.2 Nothing in the Agreement prohibits the City from providing, at the City’s
expense, additional resources for the County to utilize in its performance of
the services.
4.3 Any use of special supplies, stationery, notices, or forms, in other than
standard Department format, must be approved by the Director of the
Department, or his/her designee, and supplied by the City at its own cost.
4.4 If requested, the Department will use its best efforts to attend one in-person
meeting with the City, up to three hours duration, per quarter at no charge
to the City. Additional meetings may be scheduled under unusual or urgent
circumstances as agreed upon by the Department. The City will pay the
hourly rate listed in Attachment C, City-County Municipal Services Billing
Rates, for any additional hours of the Department's contract management
staff's time at meetings requested by the City. Due to a lack of availability
of meeting space in County facilities, the City will provide a mutually agreed
upon meeting space and location, or virtual meeting link, for all in-person
and/or virtual meetings or meet at the Department’s headquarters in Long
Beach, California.
4.5 If requested, the Department will use its best efforts to coordinate a virtual
meeting once per month at no charge to the City. Additional meetings may
be scheduled under unusual or urgent circumstances as agreed upon by
the Department. The City will pay the hourly rate listed in Attachment C,
City-County Municipal Services Billing Rates, for any additional hours of
County representatives’ time at meetings requested by the City.
4.6 If requested, the Department will use its best efforts to send representatives
to the City’s Council meetings for proposed ordinance changes, contract
revisions, or any related animal issues where input from the Department is
needed. The Department will only attend these meetings to the extent that
resources and capacity will allow.
4.7 The Department will make available upon request, at no charge to the City,
the reports listed in Attachment A, Description of Services, at the intervals
indicated in that attachment. For any additional reports that are not included
in Attachment A, Description of Services, or those requested at more
frequent intervals, the Department will account for the hours of staff time
required to produce the reports. The County will provide, at no charge to
the City, up to 12 hours of staff time annually for any additional requested
reports. The City will be responsible for any excess hours at the current
Page 6 of 11
billing rate for staff time as listed in Attachment C, City -County Municipal
Services Billing Rates.

other Party. A dispute is unresolved when both Parties agree that there is
no resolution and no intent by either party to continue to seek a resolution.
7.5 In the event of termination, both Parties shall fulfill all obligations owed to
each other that have accrued before the date of termination. Additionally,

* Service Levels Schedule is an ESTIMATE only for the City's reference, estimated based on 11 months of actual invoices from July 2023 to May 2024 and estimated usage for the remaining 1 month (based on actual usage
data from June 2023). City is liable for actual costs.
** Rates are recalculated annually based on prior actual costs; this rate projection was based on the cost of providing services in FY 2023-24. In addition, the allocation of costs for Alternatives to Care Center Admissions are
adjusted annually based on actual time spent on each activity type.
Note 1: Special Care/Observation costs are billed at a flat per impound rate. If the animal's stay exceeds the length of stay captured in the flat rate, a daily rate will be charged for any remaining days. Legal Hold animals are
held in accordance with applicable statutory guidelines and/or at the sole and absolute discretion of the Department, based on pending or anticipated criminal, civil, or administrative action.
