approximately 1,800 square feet that will accommodate approximately 25 animals.

$197,805.00 in donated funds for operating costs associated with the satellite adoption center at

PetSmart, Inc., Store No. 187.
On October 18, 2011, the City Council approved M &C G -17413 authorizing the execution of Addendum
No. 1 to the original Contract between the City and PetSmart Charities to add a second satellite adoption
center at PetSmart, Inc., Store No. 2065, located at 2900 Heritage Trace Parkway in Fort Worth.
Since the inception of the Satellite Adoption Center Initiative with PetSmart Charities, the Code
Compliance Department has successfully solicited and received $455,624.00 in donations in support of
the program. Approximately $331,327.00 remains for future funding of the satellite adoption centers in the
Special Trust Fund.
In Fiscal Year 2012, the Code Compliance Department proposes using a combination of donations and
adoption related revenues to offset the costs of the Satellite Adoption Center Program. Funding sources
include:
• $110,086.00 in collected donations from prior years;
• $200,000.00 in anticipated donations to be received throughout the year;
• $98,592.00 generated annually from adoptions at the PetSmart adoption center under the current,
Council- approved fee schedule; and
• $39,000.00 generated annually from PetSmart Charities Adoption Rewards Program which, as
currently structured, would pay the City up to $15.00 for each animal adopted at the PetSmart
adoption center.
City Staff is recommending that all revenues and donations collected at the PetSmart adoption centers be
invested back into the program. In addition, Staff is requesting the City Council's approval to continue to
solicit donations for the operation of the satellite pet adoption centers. Should expenditures outpace
revenues, scheduling and staffing adjustments within the Animal Care and Control Division will be initiated
to ensure this initiative remains cost neutral with respect to the General Fund.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations,
adoption of the attached supplemental appropriation ordinance and receipt of donated funds, will be
available in the current operating budget, as appropriated, of the General Fund.
