COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 11!1512011 - Ordinance No. 19978-11-2011
DATE: Tuesday, November 15, 2011 REFERENCE NO.: G -17449
LOG NAME: 23PETSMART CHARITIES GRANT
SUBJECT:
Authorize Acceptance of a Grant from PetSmart Charities in the Amount of $61,000.00 for Continuation of
an Animal Shelter Vaccination Program, Waive Indirect Costs and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance (ALL
COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize acceptance of a PetSmart Charities grant totaling $61,000.00 to continue the purchase and
administration of Bordatella vaccine to all animals arriving at the City's animal shelter;
2. Waive imposition of any indirect costs as part of the City of Fort Worth's in -kind match to this grant; and
3. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Grants Fund by $61,000.00.
DISCUSSION:
Approximately 18,000 animals come to the City's animal shelter each year. The City's partnership with
PetSmart Charities to support shelter pet adoption program enhancements is being expanded to include
preventive medicine components for all sheltered animals. With this $61,000.00 grant, the City's shelter
will continue the administration of Bordatella vaccine, an important tool in the prevention of kennel cough,
to every animal arriving at the shelter at intake. This preventive measure will help animals remain healthy
while in a shelter environment and assist with efforts to find adoptive homes for every animal abandoned
at the City's shelter. Previously, this expense was funded through an expiring grant from another
resource.
The proposed grant program would serve ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations
and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current operating
budget, as appropriated, of the Grants Fund.
