PUBLIC HEARING - ADOPTION OF REVISED ANIMAL SERVICES FEES
BACKGROUND: Sonoma County Animal Services (Animal Services/SCAS) provides sheltering and field services to areas within their jurisdiction, including unincorporated areas of the County, the City of Santa Rosa, and the Town of Windsor. Animal Services is also responsible for rabies control for the entire County. The SCAS service area is comprised of approximately 1,575 square miles with nearly 500,000 residents and includes an animal shelter that serves nearly 3,300 animals annually. SCAS is proposing fee revisions for animal impounds, vaccinations, licenses, and boarding fees.
The proposed SCAS fees recover increased costs associated with services delivery, including costs charged to SCAS by general government and those associated with salary and benefits. Revised fees are requested to recover the reasonable cost to provide animals services which is generally 4.5 percent since fees were last revised effective July 1, 2018.
