SUBJECT:
Authorize Application for and Acceptance of Multiple Grants from PetSmart Charities, Inc., to Support Pet
Adoption Events Held Throughout the Year in the Amount Not to Exceed $150,000.00, Waive Indirect

RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the application for and acceptance of grants from PetSmart Charities, Inc., in the amount up
to $150,000.00 to pay the expenses generated for multiple pet adoption events;
2. Waive the imposition of any indirect costs as part of the City of Fort Worth's in-kind match to this grant;

3. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the

DISCUSSION:
The City of Fort Worth enjoys a productive partnership 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 and reimbursements by PetSmart Charities Inc., as a
single M&C. The Code Compliance Department will apply for and accept PetSmart Charities Inc., grants
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.
FISCAL INFORMATION /CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations,
receipt of the grant and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be availabe in the
current operating budget, as appropriated, of the Grants Fund.
