A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SARATOGA AMENDING THE 5-YEAR CAPITAL
IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP) BUDGET FOR AN
APPROPRIATION OF $710,000 FOR EXPENSES RELATED
TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE ANIMAL SHELTER
THROUGH THE SILICON VALLEY ANIMAL CONTROL
AUTHORITY
WHEREAS, in 1999 changes in animal control law prompted Santa Clara County to
cease its services delivery; and
WHEREAS, because the need for such services remained, municipalities looked for
alternatives and ultimately formed the Silicon Valley Animal Control Authority (SCACA), a
Joint Powers Authority representing seven municipalities including Saratoga; and
WHEREAS, under the new legal requirements, municipalities are required to shelter
animals for a longer period than the Humane Society's facility could accommodate; and
WHEREAS, as part of the initial JPA development, a study was performed to determine
shelter needs for the seven communities represented; and
WHEREAS, a site in Santa Clara has been located and leasing terms have been
negotiated and construction related activity is ready to begin; and
WHEREAS, both the operating budget and the shelter construction costs are apportioned
to each city based on a formula that includes human and animal population; and
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Saratoga hereby resolves as follows:
Saratoga's share is 7.99% and with a recommended contingency makes the City's estimated total
contribution $710,000.
