committee of contract city representatives to assist with the marketing of licensing, rabies
vaccination, and spay/neuter activities within the cities. Second, the new contract identifies
specific service response goals such as response time standards. Third, the contract describes
the establishment of a spay/neuter program and trust fund for each participating city. The
county will allocate an amount equivalent to 5 percent of all license revenue collected for
deposit into a separate account. These funds would be used exclusively for encouraging the
spay/neuter of pets owned by Carlsbad residents. The estimated amount for Carlsbad for
1998/99 is $3,600.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The estimated annual cost of the contract is $140,673. Funds totaling $140,673 have been
budgeted in the 1998-99 General Fund operating budget.

shall pay COUNTY the difference between the actual annual amount
of revenues collected and the annual estimated amount of revenues
