These documents provide you with the details of the changes to the department's operational plan including the annual salary and benefit adjustments and increases and decreases to various services and supplies accounts. We understand the tight budget constraints each of you are working with and have done our best to limit increases to the costs that we all share to provide superior animal control services to both our citizens and yours. These documents include an overview of the various cost factors affecting the delivery of animal control and sheltering services to our residents and to you, the cities served by the County of San Diego Department of Animal Services. As you know, your city's annual contract costs are affected by three factors: increases in shared departmental operating costs and your city's pro-rated share of those costs based on population growth and volume of requests for patrol services. Our overall increase this year is 4.8% and after the reduction of costs that the County does not pass on to your city the overall shared increase is only 3.2%. Because of the fluctuations based on the formula for your city's share the increase is greater for some cities and for some there has even been a decrease. To see a breakdown of increases and decreases by the three factors in the formula see pages 4 and 5. The figures for your city's net annual costs—and the basis for the amount of your city's quarterly payment—are on Page 8.
