Individually from Animal Welfare Organizations Including PetSmart Charities, Inc., PetCo, and Others to
Support Animal Welfare Programs Including Pet Adoption Events Held Throughout the Year, Waive
Indirect Costs and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance (ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS )
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the application for and the acceptance of grants in the amount up to $200,000.00 individually
from animal welfare organizations including PetSmart Charities, Inc., PetCo, and Others 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 $200,000.00 individually upon receipt of grants.
DISCUSSION:
The Code Compliance Department will apply for and accept animal welfare organization grants including
those from PetSmart Charities, Inc., Petco and others for reimbursements related to special events in the
amount up to a total of $200,000.00 individually to facilitate a more efficient and timely turnaround of
application and grant or Agreement documents. The City of Fort Worth enjoys productive relationships
with PetSmart Charities, Inc., Petco, and several other animal welfare organizations.
The Code Compliance Department has recently applied for and received approval of a grant from Petco.
These grant funds will be used to cover heartworm treatment(s) of adoptable pets from our shelter.
PetSmart Charities, Inc., and the City's Code Compliance Department have an ongoing partnership to
support two satellite adoption centers at PetSmart retail stores and 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.
This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations, receipt of the grant(s)
and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current operating
budget, as appropriated, of the Grants Operating Other Fund. Funds will be made available by the Grantor
after both Grantor and the City have signed the Grant Agreement.
