Ordinance (ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:

animal welfare organizations including PetSmart Charities, Inc., to pay the expenses generated from
multiple pet adoption events and other animal welfare programs;

grants; and
3. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Grants Operating Other Fund in the amount of$150,000.00 upon receipt of grants.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Fort Worth enjoys a productive relationship with PetSmart Charities, Inc., that includes working
together to promote animal welfare through numerous special initiatives for the benefit of Fort Worth
animal shelter animals. In addition to the ongoing partnership to support two satellite adoption centers at
PetSmart retail stores, PetSmart Charities, Inc., and the City's Code Compliance Department periodically
coordinate special adoption or other promotional events in Fort Worth. These events are typically
facilitated by the City's Code Compliance Department with an Agreement that PetSmart Charities, Inc., will
reimburse the City for costs associated with the event, which can include marketing, promotion and
purchase/or rental of event equipment and supplies.
These Agreements have historically been authorized by City Council on an event-by-event basis, resulting
in multiple Mayor and Council Communications (M&C) each year for the same kinds of events. This year,
in the interest of efficiency, the department is requesting approval for the year's adoption events from
animal welfare organizations and reimbursements including those by PetSmart Charities, Inc., as a single
M&C.
The Code Compliance Department will apply for and accept animal welfare organization grants including
those from PetSmart Charities, Inc., and reimbursements for special events in the amount up to a total of
$150,000.00 to facilitate a more efficient and timely turnaround of application and grant or Agreement
documents.
